This is my 1972 Datsun 240Z with 69K miles on her that was lovingly restored by myself and a good friend. She was originally a hideous greenish yellow color, but was stripped down and redone in laguna blue pearl with bright white daytona stripes down the hood and hatch.

When I found her, she was definitely in need of some love. The old Z's were serious rust magnets. The interior was also toast.

The engine has been rebuilt and I kept the original SU carbs. She is mostly stock with a few upgrades and a couple surprises under the hood.

A labor of love and an ongoing work in progress, I did take her to some shows in 2007 and she did very well. She placed high several of the shows in open class, often times being voted the best import. She did take the top honors at the Riley Children's Hospital Car Show in Indianapolis. I hope to get her more exposure in 2008.
