This is my 1972 Datsun 240Z. The color code is 918 Orange. The car is the original color, but not the original paint.
So I forgot all about this page and when I "re-found" it 3 years had passed by. I've scrapped the whole thing and started from scratch.

This is how it all started. I searched to find the perfect Z for about 3 and half years. It had to be a '72... it had to have been orange with black interior and the 4spd manual.

Then I came across the mechanical love of my life... Kikka, Japanese Orange Blossom. I purchased her from the original owner in Southern California. She was pretty much stock when I took delivery, some of that I am changing but all of which will be reversible so that I can take her back to completely stock if my taste should change.

Original parts include... Original Engine Block, Head, Carbs, Transmission, Rear End... all that at 286,000 miles. Currently the Z is sitting at just over 295,000 miles.

I drove her around for awhile just to get used to her and her quirks and then I started with the repairs and enhancements.

Here she is pictured with my friend Danny's 1965 VW Beetle.
