On my third S30.

 

First one I bought in '89 when I was 18, HLS30455112, Black Pearl. May it rust in peace.

 

My second one was a early '74 260z I bought while in college for $400. I should have used it for parts to begin with. Still have the shell.

 

My current one is a '76, HLS30276269, I bought last year on ebay for $2500. Drove from my home near St. Louis to Witchita KS to pick up. Nice to be back in a Z after a 10 year hiatus. Just getting started on the mods.

240, build date 5/73. Was my dad's who purchased it in '81. Sat from '89 to when I resurected it in '05. He then gave it to me, and it's been my daily driver ever since. Has been down for two weeks to get a turbo (inturrupted by a trip to ireland), should be back on the road within a week.

'73 240 for me. Bought it to drive early in '06, but it didn't take long for me to buy a truck and rip the Z apart. It's getting a 383, TKO drivetrain. I can't wait to finish it, which I'll probably still be saying 5 years from now.

I'm on my 3rd Z which is a 77 280z that Had been sitting in this old ladies garage for over 20 years under a car cover and looked like it just rolled off the show room floor. Original was nice for awhile. I'm all about enjoying the car so its up to 78k. Has an L28et drive line under it, with a NPR intercooler in front of it with 81zx discs on the rear. Have MSns, injectors, intake with all those goodies on the bench ready to go in.

Ive got an S30. Its a early 71 240Z with an E31, hatch vents and verticle defrost lines. I saved it from the crusher at a junkyard in phoenix. Its getting resto-modded. Ive got a full set of era correct modification parts for it. No swaps here, sorry guys, lol.

it burns a lot of oil and isn't that fast but it's fun. (well it's faster now since I've unclogged the Exhaust...clogged cat)

Here's a startup video when I first got it running. (on Naval base 32nd street, eons ago)

It's for sale.

I'm more interested right now in doing a VH45/5spd S14 and I have too many cars.

Asking 6500obo (and if you give me 6.5 K I'll meet you halfway up to 1000 mi.)

I have over 10k in the car and I'm not gonna totally lose my butt on it. Besides, good luck building one for that :)

You can drive this baby anywhere, seriously. I drove it x country.

get this...it's actually good in snow...check this vid.
