This 240z is currently tuned up for daily driving. Webers tend to run rich and so they have been leaned for the health of the spark plugs. This Z is currently getting 32mpg, tested twice on 2 separate 1 hour drives (topped off and mileage calculated against fuel use) Each trip included passing other cars at 80mph, and driving steady between 60-65mph. But don't let that fool you! She will still break traction in second!
She is show quality and has won 2nd place 2 years ago, and getting more beautiful with each passing year! Reliable, she churns up conversation EVERYWHERE she parks and cameras, waves and smiles by passing vehicles. This is a car DRIVEN by nearly everyone, or everyone knew someone who had one. We all have amazing stories of youthful fun, racing our Z’s (some of us wrecking them). Today they are almost all gone, with Hagerty estimating 50-100 1970 240z’s remaining “In Restorable Condition” There were just 15,000 of these made 55 years ago….and they didn’t sit in castles! They were driven by Americans, and Enjoyed by all!
Any Other Questions Are Welcome!
Dozens of original saved parts!
