The latest Grassroots Motorsports has a neat article on the 240Z vs. the new 350Z. I only really paid attention to the 240Z part, and I was really struck by how cool of a car they are. Light (2300lb), powerful (150hp) and simple (you could fit two engines in the engine compartment).
Ok, so now I want one. How much would I expect to pay for one in good shape? Can it be a daily driver? Anyone here an early Z fan? Was AC ever an option? Yeah I'm daydreaming, but you never know. I am looking for a car to replace my daily driver Mustang that is going on 200k miles. |

I remember in 1972 I was in the market for a new sports car. I narrowed it down to the 240Z, the 914, the TVR Vixen and the Lotus Europa. Believe it or not, I was swaying towards the Lotus. But then all the magazines came out with articles about the 914 2.0 and convinced me that the Porsche was the way to go. That was the smartest thing I've ever done. I remember doing time trials in the 70's at Lime Rock Park and my biggest competition was always the 240Z's. It would take a perfect lap for me to beat them and even then it was only by no more than a 10th of a second.
