Hello all!
I guess its time for a formal introduction.
I am the owner of the stolen, and since recovered, '72 S30.
I was pointed here by my wife who some of you contacted via Craigs List after she posted about the theft. Your support was outstanding and I cant wait to be a member of your organization.
Im and Active Duty Chief Petty Officer (E7) in the US Coast Guard, currently stationed in Boston Ma, but living in East Providence RI. Ive owned 240s on and off since I could drive. I first fell in love with the Zs at about 13 when I found a picture of my dads old 240 he had tricked out in the 70s. That was all it took. Both of my parents owned Zs in the day (mom had a 260) so it was a natural fit as my first car. A rusted out, beat up 240! Growing up in Tampa, FL they were easy enough to come by. I loved her right into the ground!
Ive moved up in the Z world since then. Wife surprised me with my current Z when I came home from a deployment for one of our anniversaries. She needs some work getting back on the road after the theft, but here she is in her Hay Day when we were stationed in Key West, FL.
"Old Speeder" as my son named her when he was 5.
All original for the most part. Engine was rebuit by the previous owner, and they did a fantastic job with it. Carbs redone by Z Therapy, etc. This car runs better than any automobile Ive ever owned. Ive never had any difficulties with it other than routine things like bad fuel pumps.
