robbs70z Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Very sweet. Good job!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakt Out Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Thanks Robb. Picking up another lime '72 this week. Will be doing it all again, but maybe in a manner that leaves me still not too scared to drive it hard! I'm thinking S2000 drivetrain with indi throttle bodies and no boost this go-round. I'll also have a roll bar. Otherwise, probably the same thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutchdust Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Great looking on the cover. Don't get the mag. You have a gallery I can peep somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenG Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Considering I saw your build thread about 1 month before I bought my first Z, I'd say this represents it quite well. Absolutely love the build. Going to go pickup the magazine tomorrow just because. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernS30 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Didn't you sell this car for something like $65,000? Maybe more, I know you had upwards of like $125K+ if I remember correctly. Beautiful car, an inspiration to us all, passionate about z cars, or passionate about automobiles in general. You build the car well and the right way to do it.

Blakt Out Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Thanks fellas. I think the quality of that build was spot on, if not overdone for my tastes. I'm not into show cars, really. But the car also had too much power, especially for a turbo car. Just my opinion. ModernS30, yes I did. Your numbers are correct. I love Z cars. I've had 14. Picking up #15 this week too. Also love other cars, especially the modern Porsche 911s. I appreciate that thought. Just did all I knew to do to honor the 240Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Jared, do you still own the car? I thought you sold it. I hate I didn't get a chance to check it out in person while you were in NC. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 SBC 240Z Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Haha! saw this in the magazine isle and was surprised that an underdog car made it on a cover, had no clue the owner was on the board, awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakt Out Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 I did sell the car. The photoshoot was actually after I saw it last, as it was shipped to the new owner directly after the shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texis30O Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 What was your tire and wheel combo sizing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakt Out Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Ha! Thanks Clutchdust. Texis: I don't actually recall, but I got the whole set from CCW. Thing is, as one will find when reading the article, we did a TON of measuring and suspension tuning (has the full AZC kit) to get those wheels & tires under there. I was told by CCW that I would be doing anyone a disservice by giving them the info (which again, I truly don't have anyway) because they won't fit in with a stock suspension or without my settings. Sorry that I can't be of more service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
