My buddy bought a 73 Z when we were teenagers back in the early 80's it was a little beat up but we went to every kegger in Denver with it for the entire decade lol. Somehow he's managed to hang onto it all these years. I'll bet it's worth a few bucks now.
1967 2000 Roadster took the whole video! Although that Scarab ran a pretty close second, only because a friend had one. They did handle like poopy though with all that weight up front!
no offence but the difference between a "L24" 240Z motor and say an LS1 V8 is about 5 pounds...now add in a T5 trans for the V8 and the stock 4 speed for the 240Z and the difference grows to about 30 pounds..point is 30 pounds is not really going to affect the handling. You are doubling the power in the car though, and need to allow for that when doing your rear end mods to handle the power AND just as important your suspension mods...for handling. and traction control.
I've owned the 240 , 260 , 280 , 280zx , was not a fan of the 300z . And stopped at 280zx . The 300zx looked like a wedgie car . Went to Mercedes SLK . Still miss my z cars
The anniversary editions from the seventies through the early nineties just drove me crazy. Stick on a little bit of adhesive tape, Make the customer pay for every option, No engine or suspension upgrades whatsoever and jack the price through the roof. That second 280z Is impressive but. The original lines of that design are so beautiful that any modification simply adds diminishment to the looks.
I have a 1987 fairlady Z right hand drive 4 to the floor live this life as a race car in Germany now here in New Jersey for sale if anyone's interested
The ‘67 Datsun roadster is awesome!
Agreed. My favorite of the cars featured.
@@Joe_Montfort By far, for me.

The little 67 red roadster 2000 was my fave of this group by far. Nice restomod!
Absolutely gorgeous and stunning cars in there, wow! Thank you Dennis.
This was awesome! Every car was gorgeous.
Loved that 2000 fairlady
nice to get some JDM on this channel
Great job Dennis and crew 👍🏽
That yellow 240 at the end is. BADASS 💪 🏁
Out of all of these, I'd take the '67 2000 Roadster. That is awesome.
Hell yeah my brother 🔥 thank you
Rich, is that you??
@MyClassicCarTV No.. but I do hope to be rich one day... hopefully 🙏
The original 2000 roadster U20 engine would be very capable of making 250hp with a turbo.
Thanks Dennis 👍

@@lancel.713 Guess what? I drove the car and you didn't. The car did handle worse when pushed.
Sweet!
My friend has the 1971 it's in parts but it's all real all the same car it's almost together.
2000 roadster ,best of them all!!
Beautiful
I will take one of each please! Nice.
Nice gold and black
I had the number 2497 Black Gold 280ZX. Sold it. Kicking myself today!
I had the Chocolate Brown 280zx t tops 2+2 loved it
Great cars. I remember the many near-death rides in a friend's '71 240Z. Love this YT channel!
A high school buddy had a 1970, very crude, noisy and rough riding but scary fast. What a performance car used to be!
@@bobbydavis2299 I miss those days too, old chap. Cheers.

Loved my ‘79 280zx. However the best car I ever owned was the 1990 300zx. It was perfect combo of sport, speed, luxury, and comfort. Wish I kept them.
Yea , I feel what you're saying. Mine was the 240z . Fast , nimble for the time good on gas . Drove from PA to Florida a half a dozen times.
You didn't like the 300zx and went for an SLK???? I love MB but that's pretty ignorant.
I'd love to have a Datsun 2000, but any early Z car would be great. I don't need a show car. I want to drive it
Do you know there is a Nissan (Datsun) 160Z? It was a south africa only Z car based on the B210 chassis (coupe).

The wheels on the yellow car don't match
I own a 240, a early 260 and a 280 not a fan of the zx and later
Second!
