In 1983 at age 16 I got a 1973 240Z for my first car. It was in perfect condition. Loved that car. I got married at age 20 and decided I needed a bigger car so I sold it. The lady who bought it totaled it a couple months later. Wish I could have kept it. The good news is I still have the original wife 😁
Love the Z car. The 6 cylinder L-series is a great motor, and they sound great with sidedraft Weber or Mikuni type carbs. I rescued a '67 2000 Roadster 36 years ago, one of 1000 made, maybe 300 or so left world wide. Absolutely love that car, now with a very modified U20 that was recently converted to Jenvey Heritage EFI from 45mm Dellortos (they look just like Webers). It's your car's uncle (not a direct "father" descendent, being a convertible) built with the same passion but in the '60s. They don't make cars that feel like these anymore... direct, connected, mechanical... no power brakes, clutch, or steering, just you, the sounds and the road... awesome! BTW, this is not a dig, but I'd ditch the velocity stack screens... they're surprisingly terrible for airflow and do almost nothing to protect your engine. A set of Ram Air foam filters slip on super easy and work well, though some complain about foam and flow (dyno showed no difference on my motor). Enjoy the Ride!

Excellent
Glad you left mother natures marks
Beautiful car, great video.
Small nitpick- Those arent "ITBs", theyre webers (carburetors). Still great though
