I see your point, but power windows are a must have, they allow straight forward enjoyment of the car, its not a lazy trivial mod, its a control that you are constantly using while driving, and shows dedication to detail, I'd ditch the sound system for power windows.
Only annoying thing: people always pull up next to my 280z at a stoplight and want to compliment it or ask a question about it. I have to try and do sign language to tell them I can’t roll down the passenger window lol

Had 2 in the 70's the first had a 283 chevy,, the second had a 289 tri- pwr had a bunch of problems with the yokes- till i upgraded them at the trans & diff& suspension was beefed up too// this unit looks beautiful/ we ran with the scca then, still have them and a couple right drives too ended buying 4 more 14 years ago when my friend and racer died, he didnt want his son to beat them up but i sold him a 280 after all it was his dads street car he still has it. My wife &I hit some of the car shows once in a while, & i drive them all when im feeling well. My son & grand kids love to be seen in them. Someday they'll all have one ,xcpt the racers, those will be going to a some younger friends that wanna make drift cars!
Beautiful, tasteful build that respects the original soul of the car. WE NEED more high end builds done this respectfully !!!!! The current "contemporary" style builds we see so much of nowadays are already dated. I think the way forward to the future is classy builds like this !! All I would change is chrome bumpers!
Many moons ago there was a V8 powered 240Z that showed up at autocrosses the Toronto area. That car was a beast and this reminds me of it. Love this machine
I love how this channel can show you the every day garage budget build to the most expensive shop build , yet treat each car like it's a work of art. One of the best pure auto channels on YT. Period. o7
THAT is how you do proper flares hell yes man! Attention to details...they flow real well. Never was into the generic rivet on stuff. Super cool ride...not too overpowered, clean tasteful and just plain fn fun. Diggum smacks! lol
The choice of a manual transmission is a must in this car, and the Ford 8.8 IRS will last forever with no more than 400 HP and tires that will allow some spin. This is a GREAT build.
I've always thought the old Z cars were some of the sexiest cars ever built. This one is just gorgeous. I can't think of a single thing I would change about this build. It's just perfect.
We did this back in the late eighties. 327 in a 260z it absolutely destroyed EVERYTHING! We couldn’t keep rear in it though to save our lives. Ended up running out of donors in the mid 90’s. 😂 👍🏻
This car and video is off the chart. The body work alone is beyond fantastic. His attempt to keep it deceiving and make everything look close to OEM. While he cleverly stuffed HUGE rims and tires. That's just scratching the surface. Totally glad I hit the watch button as I was about to go to sleep. Definitely will check out his other builds. Lastly the best part is the homage to his father. 👌🙏
Agree!! Love the build plan on this one. Easy to overdo stuff and lose the car somewhere. Like to know who his interior guy is..nice clean work looks like. That really makes a car.
Cool car! Back in the late 90's a customer brought a 280 Z to my shop to fix some rust in the battery tray. It was the same color combo. Someone back in the day had brazed in a right frame rail and inner fender in it due to a collision. It wasn't properly seam sealed and battery acid had eaten out the bottom of the frame clear to the riser behind the passenger seat. There was almost nothing holding the front suspension in! I told him he was in no way obligated to have his car repaired at my shop but he wasn't driving it back home. I remade all the parts of the frame and a 6" wide strip of the floor pan from the top of the firewall to the rear riser. Seeing the "😊during" pics brought back a flood of memories! So cool for him to build it for his dad... says something about how cars can really bond a father/ son relationship.
I had a Datsun 240 Z that I got and it didn’t run. I rebuild the engine with 11 1/2 to 1 compression and had triple Weber‘s on it. I had a electronic fan on it with a temperature gauge, but also a switch inside that I can turn it on and off when I wanted. I had an inch and a quarter swaybar on the front and an inch and an eighth swaybar in the back. I had wheel wheel flares on it and I had 235x50x15’s on it with KYB struts and 25% stiffer coil springs. I had a five speed in it and it loved 85 miles an hour and handled around corners like it was on the rails. I also custom-made some turnbuckles to adjust the alignment and I loved that car. I would love to get another one and actually put a small V-8 in it, but mine was actually pretty quick.
Buddy did a 327 swap in a 280 Z 2:02 42 years ago ...sick .... it did need some bigger rubber in the back so it would hook...and that was what made it all work!.
Now that takes me back in time! My buddy had one of these back in the day with the the turbo 6, man that car would move!! I immediately started looking for me one too of course v8 swap it, (383 sbc) but just could never find one withing my budget. So I started building s10's and everything else under the planet.. but this car right here is a master piece!! GREAT JOB BROTHER!!
Jaw drops around the block as the sounds from a V8 engine roaring The color Sounds Cleanliness Unbelievable Another one of the timeless gems restored to today’s high standards
Probably my second favorite car I’ve seen on your channel. #1 is the Blue Chevelle SS with a 632 big block. I’d love to see someone do a Saab 900 turbo like he did this 240…
The passion for engineering comes from all walks of life and this is a great representation! Especially when a son pays homage to his father. For where it all began.
This Z is BADASS. I had a 75 280 Z and always wished it had a v8. I got rid of it because of the rust problems same stuff. Beautiful build. And this is a car that gives smile's 😊per miles. LOVE IT
The 240Z is my absolute favorite.......truly classic. Correcting the lack of hp is job #1. Great-looking ride and fully capable of humbling most anything on the road. Great photography! The color, the stance, the preservation of the Z-car looks.....Stevie nailed it. Looking down the hood of it reminded me of the Vega with 327 I built back in the day.....wonderful nose.
When I saw Z being used for Ferrari 250 GTO replicas it really confirmed why I had loved this body so much in the day. This is absolutely perfect. Less is More.
Back in the day.. This was common to drop a Chevy 350 into a 240z or 260z. My friend made these as a side hustle. Maybe not as clean but awesome none the less.
Just 25 yrs ago the '75-'78 280z went for literally 250$ because 1 dent and the original fuel filter. 240's were already precious despite being the same chassis but the 280's got the nearest V8
MY FIRST CAR SENIOR YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL, 1981, WAS A 1970 MG MIDGET WITH A FORD 302 AND A C4 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I BLEW UP THE REAR END DOING DONUTS THE FIRST WEEK. SO I SAVED UP MONEY, PULLED OUT THE ENTIRE DRIVE TRAIN AND CLEANED IT ALL UP, AND ENGINE BAY AS WELL. PAINTED THE ENGINE BAY SATIN BLACK, 100 % RE WIRED THE CAR. PANTED THE ENGINE YELLOW, FLAT WHITE INTAKE AND EXHAUST MANIFOLDS, GLOSS BLACK ACCESSORY BRACKETS, SATIN BLACK, AND ALUMINUM COBRA FINNED VALVE COVERS, GLOSS WHITE TRANSMISSION, WOOD DASH WITH DIGITAL GAUGES, FULL CUSTOM CARPET, AND OMG, GOD AWFUL AND TEMPORARY MUSTANG REAR END. TOOO WIDE !. GOD IT WAS SOOOO QUICK. HELL THE CAR DIDN'T WAY ANYTHING. IT HANDLED GREAT AS WELL DUE TO EXTRA HEAVY DUTY SWAY BARS, AND STIFF AIR SHOCKS. STEERING WAS EXTREMELY QUICK RATIO AS WELL. 1.5 TURNS LOCK TO LOCK.
ur dad sounds like a man after my own heart, lmao the colors and the cars, huge fan of yall father and son duo and the love for cars but specially the Z
Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.
Bad ass I’m in the middle of this with the body getting ready to go on the rotisserie as well can’t wait for it to be finished. Stevie killed it this one

Great car, sorry to be a nit , but early LS1 was rated at 305 -350 crank 300s for F- bodies depending on wether Z or SS , WS6 or Firehawk ( rated at 345 but more ) with early corvettes 345 but 350 mostly for C5 and then the Z06 engines were from 385 -405 or something. To be fair the F body Ls1s were a little under rated cuz of corvette needing to be special but no such thing as " stock LS1 from camaro / corvette making 365 . You had the 6.0 LS like in GTO THAT MADE 400 or s0. But the C5Corvette LS1 was 345/350hp 350 torque unless from A Z06 which is Plenty for a car this weight with smallish tires , and a great choice IMO and with minor mods / exhaust its healthy power for such a small car . I like that It still has crank windows . Narrow car, you can lean over to passenger side .
Dude...this car is awesome! I have always loved old school Z's! Like you said, it is tastefully done! That car looks like so much fun to drive! As always, nice work Shawn! What a kick ass car!
This an unbelievable build and car I’m not a person ever been into these cars I definitely respected them and understand there significance but with a V8 sign me up. Add a V8 to a lawn mower sign me up I’m a simple man
The parts counter guys at Palo Alto Datsun did this in 1976. They used a 350 cubic inch. I remember just how novel and exciting it was. I was busy turbocharging my propane 510 which I ended up cartwheeling.
Awesome, props to great sounding exhaust build, sounds almost old school. Most LS swaps sound horrific because poorly under baffled. Great Z build with super tasteful body work and perfect power.

Outta curiosity, what did you guys do about the key ignition for the new column?
Its still using the factory key and ignition for the original 240
Wild car. Mom had one when she was a teenager. Spoiled
Beautiful build……ticks all the boxes!
Ok, guess you just fabricated something to surround it
That is a first class Z. knocked it out of the park. Paint, motor, wheels, brakes, interior... and a great exhaust sound.
Perfection
I’d NEVER say a car is missing power windows! This is an exceptional build and the manual windows are perfect for it.
Cars before they got so boated and big...easy to reach over and roll er down at a stoplight
I would have to agree with you 100% we don't need no stinking power windows😊
I see your point, but power windows are a must have, they allow straight forward enjoyment of the car, its not a lazy trivial mod, its a control that you are constantly using while driving, and shows dedication to detail, I'd ditch the sound system for power windows.

A cool son, putting a cage in for his dad. I love the build and the background too. 🙂
I remember a lot of Chevy V-8 "Scarab Z's" back in the 70's!
This build is very nice & one of the best sounding exhaust on your channel man!
Had 2 in the 70's the first had a 283 chevy,, the second had a 289 tri- pwr had a bunch of problems with the yokes- till i upgraded them at the trans & diff& suspension was beefed up too// this unit looks beautiful/ we ran with the scca then, still have them and a couple right drives too ended buying 4 more 14 years ago when my friend and racer died, he didnt want his son to beat them up but i sold him a 280 after all it was his dads street car he still has it.
My wife &I hit some of the car shows once in a while, & i drive them all when im feeling well. My son & grand kids love to be seen in them. Someday they'll all have one ,xcpt the racers, those will be going to a some younger friends that wanna make drift cars!
Virtually a PERFECT combination.

Very tastefully done. I worked for Nissan 37 years and that is my favorite Z build.

Super cool ride...not too overpowered, clean tasteful and just plain fn fun.

Great build. Really appreciate the effort put into the fender flares.
The rear flares are literally the only thing I don’t care for on the entire build. They just look a bit too large imo.
Love em too!! Did flares up like these a lot in the 60s 70s 80s.
No cheap looking screwed on cr4p

That's one of my favorite V8 conversations ever! I've been a Z car fan for years! I owned a V8 RX7 GSL SE. Now I'm doing Euro Spec 82 BMW 635 CSI.
i dont say this about very many cars, but this one is perfect. stance, wheels, colors....perfect. (and i'm not an import guy at all.) well done! 👍

Great build.When I started painting cars back in the early 80's Datsun Z cars were the main cars I worked on,loved them.Keep up the good work.
Steve, That's one Badass Datsun 240Z perfect build!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was at that moment that he learned there are certain parts of the body that you should never Nair.
Really nicely done! So glad it doesn't have those terrible bolt on fender flairs!
Very cool! Just don't get carried away in the turns with that thing... widowmaker

Love the channel! What a great car. Nice he could do this with and for his father. Amazing Z.
Thats sick id love that car it was a icon when i was little my grandpa helped develop those and had one. Hes not around anymore.
Awesome build, brings back great memories of riding in my best friends moms 240z as a kid, love those cars!
That exhaust note is perfect
Wow, these guys really know what they're doing! Great build.
That’s one of the nicest Zs I’ve seen. Beautiful.
So freaken clean. Beautiful work there.
Saw this car at the L.A Auto show. It's Beautiful!
At the intro, my first thought was Darius's 240 Z that was on UA-cam 16 years ago!
That’s a badass little car would love to have one just like it
Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.
I have always wanted to build on of these. The body style is just awesome
The basic design is timeless
That interior is beautiful. Well done. Cheers
What a beautiful build, just perfect , wow !
That Z is amazing
The PERFECT build... a total BAD ASS!!!! 😃👍
Bad ass I’m in the middle of this with the body getting ready to go on the rotisserie as well can’t wait for it to be finished. Stevie killed it this one
such a well done car, tasteful, it appreciates the heritage, but brings modern performance in to
One of my favorite cars on here period.
*This has inspired me to continue my 280z build , currently searching for a 1jz gte to put in*
This car is immaculate, love the diamond leather stitching. My neighbor had a 280Z that I lusted after for my first car… but… my first car ended up being a a pumpkin orange 86 Nissan Sentra instead, lol.
Damn I loved these little cars growing up and now im finding these things revamp and showing out!
I call cars like this a Jack-ass generator. You can't help it when you drive that level of fun.
Always loved the "Z"
Wow!! I love these early Gen Z cars. Grew up around these when living in Hong Kong as a kid…this is arguably the best 240z I’ve ever seen. Everything is so perfectly implemented. The rims are beautiful, loving the subtle flares, the colour is amazing! Congrats guys. What a stunning build! ❤🔥👏🏼
