If only the L-Series made it into the 90’s. Even a Cross-flow L28 would be amazing. That motor sounds absolutely gorgeous, hopefully you give those turbo’d Miata’s a good scare

[@gustiwidyanta5492]

I mean, technically it made it into the 90s. The RB series is the successor.

[@beauknowz]

If this car were manufactured today "as is" it would be on back order for two years! A friend of mine in Florida bought a 70"s 240 circa 1985 and drove it like a race car everyday... Never let him down!

I miss my 71 240z. It had a 78 motor bored out to 3.1 liters with a turbocharger putting out 20lbs of boost. The car had 525 hp & ran mid 11's with 3:31 gears in the back.

[@tscooter22]

That is one sexy 240z. I used to own a white one back in college (1983). Actually, it started out as a piss yellow/green car that was painted white. It annoyed me because I could see evidence of the old color here and there, but I sure loved that car! It was pretty damn rusty on the floor pans and other places but looked good at a distance. I put a couple Weber carbs on it, got rid of the pollution crap, lowered it and changed the wheel tire combo. Made for a fun autocross car. It was never perfect. I wished I could have owned one brand new. The next big Japanese car to come out was the Rx-7. My Father bought one brand new in '79 and then I bought a brand new FD in '95. Still own it today. Great car! I'd still love to have a clean Z again! The car in this video is absolutely beautiful!

[@Shahzad-Khan]

what motor you got in it?

[@MrMitchellw16]

Also a broke college student. It took me two years but I found a super clean 240Z I could afford. It took swapping the head and head gasket but that was pretty simple.

[@Shahzad-Khan]

Mitchell Wagner how much did u pay?

[@MrMitchellw16]

$3,200 for a 100% complete car. Not a single rust spot, rust hole or even surface rust. Someone put a paint job on it that's about a 7 out of 10 so it looks fine but will definitely be painted at some point.

[@DubstepCamper]

This car looking at it and seeing how it revs and accelerates including the Wangan Midnight OST playing, gives me the goosebumps

[@bryansmith1237]

[@ocavant]

Had a '72 as my first car outfitted mostly like this narrow body. White, overider deletes, air dam, clear covers, euro tails, Recaros. Hooker headers, Ceterlines in 15's. Sadly I could not afford a built motor with triples. The SUs would have to suffice. This was the 80's so it had stripes...ugg. I'd love to do another one...this time with my Son. The only bummer is that 281 #. Thank you for not putting on those craptacular flares. Amazing car.
