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.
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 🥰🧡
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.
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.
The 260z was a interesting z was part 280z and part 240z there was some weird stuff going on there it was still carbd but was only made for 1 and a half years then the 280z came out i own a 75' 280z first year of the fuel injection bosh jettronic and its under contruction right now working on it lots of rust in the tank but not much rust on the car hopefully i get it running again would like to rebuild the motor someday it runs good but it would hesitate a lot and i think the sediment was the problem we will see :)
I wonder how many of us got our first speeding ticket was in a Z. I was 15, in my 280 2+2, her name was Rudolph. ( because she could fly) Only car I went over 100. I have my 280, and a 240. Best fun cars.
R.I.P Henry. It’s beautiful, inside out. Especially interior, it’s perfect! What company made the leather interior? I really want to get my Z there. Thanks for your post!
So with that stroked motor I guess it’s technically a 290z now isn’t it? Lol Beautifully done car, and sorry about the loss of your friend. Damn shame.
A damn good looking car. My condolences... But interestingly enough my dad wrecked my uncles 240 back in the day, on the first day... Yes, just brought it home and my dad killed it against a mustang....
Are we singing "America the Beautiful" or "God Save the Queen"? What a cool tribute to the builder. 240's are not about talk. I had a '72 Dime wagon with the 240 five speed on Webber L-20. Datsunsosick🤢
Y love it the cars the 240 260 280 z is one in frànce motors is one 2jz turbo is 900 hoseepower is one big bomb the cars is idem ligne the ferrarie gto no
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.
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.
You're watching the WRONG stuff if you don't like body-mods. There's PPL who upload boring VINTAGE factory TV commercials. Cookie-Cutters and sheep, original, untouched, just like everyone else. I'm unique, just like everything I do. Ppl like us create the trends. Car manufacturers will copy our ideas for upcoming models.
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.
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 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...
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..👍🏁
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
@@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!
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.
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
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 🙏
Wow you talk about a lot of important tips in the video production space! We enjoy what you talk about, keep going. Anytime you are in Scottsdale reach out. If you can, message us @dmakproductions on IG and we can chat. We love what you do!
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 🤙🏼🍺🍺
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!
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.

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!
love the datsun 240 260 z one of the sweetest sounding engines from the 1970s
Rip Henry..a great tribute
My respects to your friend, sorry about ur loss
As I age, my heroes go, your parents, my peers... I’m lucky enough to have my rents alive. RIP HENRY!!
Those ITBs are beautiful
Sorry for your loss :(
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
Got a 1990 300zx Myself🤟🏽😎 RIP Henry
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
The flare works well because it fits with the front/rear bumper, spoiler and the front splitters design
My condolences of course
Never met Henry but I do remember seeing him a couple times at the Bobs Big Boy car meets on Friday nights. RIP Henry
So sad to hear from your English man fan RIP Henry and condolences to the family we are car guys and girls forever
What a beautifull smile on the face of this man.
He will be missing for thousand of reasons...
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. 💜
Ride In Peace 🙏
thats a sexy ride
Epic build
No question
My first ticket was in a 1974 chevy Vega 😅🤣🤣... man I wish I had it now

( Big up Henry 🙏🏽) No Fucking way 🤩 I used to see these cars down my neck of the woods.
Beastly, Sexy Lines on this model year! Ugh. Never forget.
220 wheel horsepower in a 2200 let's say 2500 lb car has to be fast as hell
My dream

Thank you...he’s missed beyond words
Anyone know the guy that vr38 swapped datsun for drifting!
Completely undrivable over 600HP... so at 240, this one does better than kill it's drivers.
Anyone know the exact model of those rotiform rims?
Y love it the cars the 240 260 280 z is one in frànce motors is one 2jz turbo is 900 hoseepower is one big bomb the cars is idem ligne the ferrarie gto no
Asdvadz hokin lousavore R.I.P henry
Thank you...we miss him like crazy
To Harry
The design resembles a Shelby Daytona coupe but mini..
I see what you see too
I love the variety of cars this channel brings. So much cool stuff UA-cam would never otherwise recommend to me. Thank you.
RIP Henry. My condolences
First off sorry for the loss
I’m also a huge Z car fan, love the color and the overall build is gorgeous.

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.
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.
Rest in peace....
Henry could drive too!
Definitely a hard driver and just the coolest guy
I would happily donate for Henry but I’m to young, sorry Rest In Peace Henry
beautiful classic car bravo 😄👍
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
Nice cars. To the family sorry for your loss. It’s always harder when loved ones are taken without warning.
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.
R.I.P. Henry
Beautiful Z

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
Rip Henry
Outside UPS brown inside peanut butter ☺️☺️☺️
they should call it Reese!
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..👍🏁

Condolences for the loss. Looks like a Carrera GT gear knob??
sorry for your loss Shawn
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 🙏
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
rip Henry
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!
My condolences to your friend. Rest In Peace.
My condolences to all The family and friends.
🙏🏼❤️
Is that center console a custom piece?
Yes. Such a class interior on this Z

They are fun to cruise even if a commuter car can beat them
RIP Henry
What a honest car,great job and god bless
Thank you so much
Love a Z car! Man they did an awesome job on this one! Helluva job on the motor and suspension👍🏿 Condolences to the family💐🙏🏿
The 260 was my dream as I saw it parked near the local Bank in western cananafa...every day going to school... memories.
Gorgeous
R.I.P Henry. My condolences, very sad.
I wrecked my step dads 240z in 1986. Brings back memories🤘🏻🔥
Wish I still had dad's 1978 280.
I absolutely love these cars, If we could get some more of these cars being shot that would be amazing!

Thank you...really sad that he’s gone. Incredible man
That thing looks planted... and that interior color 👌
Condolences to Henry’s family! Rip brother
Thanks and yeah, beautiful build to this JDM classic
Can you guys modify a Trueno ae86? It’s one of my favorites.
They don't modify cars, they store and review them
Wow, I literally made the same car in forza last year but instead of 74 on the doors its an 8
Haha awesome!
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. 👍
Players jays old car right? Lovely thing
