The DemonZ

[Austin240Z]

My Z has an interesting nickname "The Demon Z" I bought it on 06/06/06, I got a classic 1972 license plate with the number DWB 666, finished the engine first time on friday the 13th, had some problems, finished it the second time on halloween, then had to take it apart again, and just recently finished it a third time and I seemed to have gotten all my little problems taken care of. The car was in a Police impound for close to 6 years(I found some info on the net that leads me to beleive it was evidence in a murder case) then it was bought, sat behind a cheapo used car place and finally made it's way to the junk yard where I found it.

 

 

Here's all my pics and Videos
