This car should go down in history as one of the most attractive shapes. Just love that turbine smooth straight 6 sound. Very good vid, thanks
I love the variety of cars this channel brings. So much cool stuff TH-cam would never otherwise recommend to me. Thank you.
RIP Henry. My condolences
Sorry for your loss.
That was a beautiful car and nice tribute. Miss my 280Z. There is just something about them.....
Thank you...and yeah, those first 3 gens of the Z are timeless
@@AutotopiaLA I have to say I enjoy your channel and the wide variety of cars and stories presented. Always great content! Glad youtube recommended it. Keep up the quality work!
First off sorry for the loss
I’m also a huge Z car fan, love the color and the overall build is gorgeous.
Rip Henry..a great tribute
My brother inlaw had a brand new 1976 240z back when I was in high school...i didn’t have a license...I drove it from the passenger seat hahaha..it was the fastest car I was ever in back than...we went for a ton of cruises and partied our asses off in that car..their still cool today and when I see one it brings back a lot of memories.. thanks Ray.
230 bhp is perfect. The 70’s engines when built with today’s kit are really amazing.
I built a Toyota 2T engine to 1750cc on bike carbs , it made 130bhp.
sorry for your loss Shawn
Allways wanted one of these 240
That thing looks planted... and that interior color 👌
Condolences to Henry’s family! Rip brother
Thanks and yeah, beautiful build to this JDM classic
The 260 was my dream as I saw it parked near the local Bank in western cananafa...every day going to school... memories.
love the datsun 240 260 z one of the sweetest sounding engines from the 1970s
Much respect to Henry and what he did in the car community, so sorry for the loss. Great build, I absolutely adore the S130 Cars and this is one might be my new favorite 🥰🧡
This is an S30. S130 is the ZX chassis.
@@sethheijermans3605 oh OK gotcha, thanks for the correction! 👍
@@awesomecomet3577 No problem. Hope I didn't come across as a jerk. I'm with you that this is one awesome car, for sure!
@@sethheijermans3605 Not at all, I'd rather someone correct me than to be wrong. And you did it in a polite manner. But yes this car is amazing!
Nice cars. To the family sorry for your loss. It’s always harder when loved ones are taken without warning.
Big respect to big Henry.
I have owned my 1978 280Z since new and am getting ready to restore it for the third time. I never drive it because it just feels old in comparison to my much older De Tomaso Pantera. But, I think after seeing the video I'll give the guys at Vintage Motor Works a call and discuss some options. Not a fan of the wheel flares, but the interior is great.
Thanks for the video.
I had a 71 240....miss her. Super cool
Such cool cars
My respects to your friend, sorry about ur loss
So sorry for everyone's loss of Henry. I hope they catch the person who hit and run. Gone to soon 😥
Thank you and I’m hoping for the same. Those guys should be in jail now
R.I.P. Henry
Beautiful Z
240z,260z my absolute favorite car of all time
I had a mint 260, miss it big time. Wasn’t turned out like this beauty but wider tires, rims, air dam and aluminum rear louvers. Wanted Weber’s but couldn’t afford them lol. They’re a definite classic.
This Car Is really Beautyful, for me Datsun 240/260Z is the most beautyful old Jdm Car
I love it..My dad had a 85 z31 the same color..Strange enough I picked it out over a c4 vette in 1988 when I was on 8 years old..That car was shipped from California and some how landed in Richmond, VA...Love the Datsun and Color Combination..👍🏁
My buddy/neighbor @ 14 yearsold had one of these as a fieldflogger on NJ - bucket rust brown and rusted out floorboardds with Fred Flinstone brakes. Worked for us driving like we stole it. ;-) Great resto here. Thanks for upload.
As I age, my heroes go, your parents, my peers... I’m lucky enough to have my rents alive. RIP HENRY!!
Thank you for this tribute video Shawn and team. Henry was exceptional mechanic and builder, but more importantly he was one of the nicest people I've ever met! Just a super sad story, a true car legend gone way way too soon! RIP my friend.
Sorry for your loss :(
That's a stunning little car and those rims and tyres are probably the best setup that I've seen.
Condolences to the family from the uk. 👍
Nice 260 build I had a 72 240 back in the 80’s wish I still had her. My son just picked up a 74 260 he is so happy he can’t wait to work on it and get it set up for his personal taste . Condolences to Nikko and his family . A great loss in the car world . RIP Henry. Thanks for showcasing another fine car.
A period well made 260Z
INSPIRED ME TO have a modern Classic Z of my own work for now
The 260z vintage has heart a big one
Impressive! I'm happy to see they kept the original engine. I also have a 74 260z triple web... Such a fun car
These are a blast when set up like this!
beautiful classic car bravo 😄👍
Henry could drive too!
Definitely a hard driver and just the coolest guy
Such an iconic car and the color choices are perfect! Looks like an Aston Martin combination with paint and leather interior. One of my all time import favorites Shawn!
Got a 1990 300zx Myself🤟🏽😎 RIP Henry
Prayers & healing 2 u & his family & friends
My condolences to all The family and friends.
I absolutely love these cars, If we could get some more of these cars being shot that would be amazing!
Really cool video I am sorry for your loss and the family, my condolences.
Thank you...really sad that he’s gone. Incredible man
Most beautiful cars ever built; S30 Datsuns.
Great honor !
That Z is 🔥
So sad to hear from your English man fan RIP Henry and condolences to the family we are car guys and girls forever
Those ITBs are beautiful
What a honest car,great job and god bless
Thank you so much
Sean it sure would be fun see you enjoy a track day now and then! This was a great video as always. Good variety when you mix JDMs, Europeans and American muscle. Sorry for you loss 🙏
From the KTLA web page, it appears Mr. Moukoian was the victim of a hit and run accident. The operator of the striking vehicle ran a red light and T-boned the vehicle being operated by Mr. Moukoian. Mr. Moukoian was operating a vintage British car at the time. The operator of the striking vehicle fled the scene with the assistance of another driver who stopped to pick him up according to the news report. The striking vehicle had been reported stolen.
Gorgeous
The flare works well because it fits with the front/rear bumper, spoiler and the front splitters design
My condolences of course
I would happily donate for Henry but I’m to young, sorry Rest In Peace Henry
I own a 260z with webber and headers it spent a lot of time in Texas and then 30+ years in 2 garages in Pa. but not driven . It has 19k original miles . I can't wait to drive it for the first time this summer !
Awesome!!
My friend had a new 71 240 it burnt orange, I drove it more than him, we beat the Piss out of it, it was Bullet proof, like you said you thought it was fast back then, my stage two Fiesta ST would blow the doors off a stock one, this car brings back so many memories. The Fiesta Flash 🤙🏼🍺🍺
They are fun to cruise even if a commuter car can beat them
What a beautifull smile on the face of this man.
He will be missing for thousand of reasons...
Basically everyone's dream cars
My condolences to your friend. Rest In Peace.
That is an amazing colour on that motor
Rip Henry
Love a Z car! Man they did an awesome job on this one! Helluva job on the motor and suspension👍🏿 Condolences to the family💐🙏🏿
I literally bought a 240Z and BMW 318I in like '99-00 for $800 for the pair and both ran.....Both were gold colored as well. The Z was mid to late 70's and the 318 was an '86...Man do I kick myself now for getting rid of both a few months later...
Oh man! So many of these stories...shouldn’t have sold and I know the feeling well
Absolutely love this car. Always wanted one.
Same for me!
Never met Henry but I do remember seeing him a couple times at the Bobs Big Boy car meets on Friday nights. RIP Henry
Ride In Peace 🙏
Nice Homage!
I always liked the 240 &260 Z this one is cool and the Interior is beautiful love the color
It was well executed
I plan to stroke my L28 eventually, sounds so good! Wow
His interior is incredible, similar to mine in a lot of ways. I’m sure that Z is awesome to drive in
Beautiful piece of machinery!
Agreed. Such a fun driver and just a beautiful interior
Thank you Sir for this video!! To bad for the lose!! Thank you for showing us this beautiful 260Z !!!
Glad you enjoyed it. And yeah, sad day losing our friend Henry
Shaun, more vintage Japanese, Euro, and English builds like this one please. Your following will double. 👍
We try mixing it up although I’m most passionate about the pro touring and restomod world but I promise we’ll continue to mix in JDM and Euro vehicles as well
thats a sexy ride
RIP Henry , my condolences to his friends and family 🙏
Thank you. Sure miss him
Man, I'm so sorry for the family of Henry. I was nearly killed when I was hit by a car back in March and suffered a traumatic brain injury. 💜
rip Henry
R.I.P Henry. My condolences, very sad.
My first ticket was also in my 240Z back in like 1989 man I miss that car I put a 280ZX motor in it with carburetors and I painted it myself with PPG pearl white
Sounds like a good project
I wrecked my step dads 240z in 1986. Brings back memories🤘🏻🔥
Wish I still had dad's 1978 280.
I literally went “Ooooooooo…” right before he said it👍🏽
wow beautiful interior
Yes it sure is, and ALOT of money invested.
Nice to see a fully built Datsun without an LS swap in it. Although I admit, I’d LS swap it. 😂
No way...
Hilarious!! I love the bigger power but this thing is set up so good and a blast to drive!
@@AutotopiaLA It looks like it! I must have an auto so I envy somebody rowing through gears like this.
RIP Henry
I took a transmission from 260z stuck it in 69 datsun truck behind a 2.0 4cyl. I don't know how fast it would go but it took forever to slow down.
What a beautiful car
Rest in peace....
Keep em coming! Being born in 67' its like growing up again on steriods.
Very nice Z
Sounds amazing
My first ticket was in a 1974 chevy Vega 😅🤣🤣... man I wish I had it now
A friend of mine had a built Vega with a 400ci motor and it was nuts. Unfortunately he took his own life many years ago now ALL over a damn woman at that...His step father took possession of it and literally destroyed the car long before my buddies son was old enough to get it given to him... ALOT of people were VERY pissed off about how it all played out.
@@dieseldabz7104 sorry about your friend, but I always think about that little Vega with a 350 stroker in it, and a lot of work to keep the body from twisting.
Sorry to hear about your friend. Z guys are so nice. My Z was my first car, I rebuilt it and still have her.
Thanks, love the Z. Great little ride.
When I turned 16 in 1984, I had been saving money up to buy a car and my dad took me to an auto auction and the car I wanted most was a 1979 280Z but my dad wouldn't bid on it for me cause he thought I'd kill myself lol. Instead we ended up winning a 1978 Ford Fairmont. To this day I always consider the 280Z my first car :P
Oh man! There’s just something about the 240 260 & 280
Such an awsome channel, love the selections
Thank you! We like to mix it up and show the world of customs
I do not mean to sound so repetitive but i too love this car. Its way cool. Been a big fan of the Z cars all my life. Seen some 240 and 260 with big V8's in them years ago. I am a big fan of T-tops and Targa tops. Not as much convertible. I had a 91 300Z that was a blast to drive. Great cars. Reliable. Not hard to boost up horsepower in them either however mine had a stock motor. I am sorry to hear about your friend Henry. He was an amazing man from what i have seen. Could flat out drive it also. My sympathy for the family and friends that are suffering this loss.
Nice and cool
LMAO at the conversation with the passing motorist. Lost count of how many of those I've had. 77 260z ( Australia )
Love it!!
Beautiful build. I’ll support
He was a kind soul with a great mind
Epic build
No question
Condolences for the loss. Looks like a Carrera GT gear knob??
Damn this car sounds sick!!!! wow!!
Great video!! That’s one mean looking Z. Beautiful build. Sorry for the loss of a guy with great taste in cars.
One of the good ones
