Exicited to be an owner of 2 Datsun 240Zs. I've always had a thing for vintage Japanese cars, and for Zcars in particular. Long story short, we ended up with 2 of them
within a month. White one is a Early 72' it needs to be fully restored, floor plan hole and typical rust. It looks ok in pictures but after some thought it's more than what I want to get into right now but it runs and drives. It was an adventure driving it from the end of Long Island to Port Jeff then Bridgeport to Norwalk. After heavy research found a 73' in great condition 918 Orange, owner had it for 34 years and it was his baby. Southern car, garaged the entire time he owned it with a few mods. Rebuilt L28, 5 speed, triple webers etc. It has very little rust, solid floors, solid rockers and quarters. We had to have it, drove 900 miles rountrip in one day but it was worth it. Searched for a local Z car specialist and found Vinny Bedini. Vinny definitely knows these cars, showed us what he was working on ( engine rebuilds, suspension, brakes and full restos). He did a quick rundown on the car and even did a quick compression test with very good numbers. Confirmed the flattop pistons with the high compression results. I feel it's in good hands!!
Can't wait to drive it next year, a little bummed I missed the last meet in Darien which is only 5 minutes from me but there will be more. On to the pics! BTW my name is Kevin
When we made it last minute on to the Port Jeff Ferry!
