A universally loved car. It was evolutionary when introduced.

It's almost a crime to ruin such a classic......
I'm not a fan of bolt-on wheel flares and bone crushing suspension mods, the 240Z was one of my favorites that I've owned in the past and wish I still had. The classic lines still look great , too bad the unibodies could not withstand the 'rust belt' New England weather.

Those "Z"s were just as popular in Thailand back then too.
A load of officers had them sent there via the PX purchasing service (so they avoided the 200% import duty and either sold them for 3 times what they paid when they ETS'd or had them shipped to their home FREE.
'68-'71 was my time in SEA also.
