1971 240Z Restoration - The Finished Z car is Beautiful!
It's finished!
Upon start up, we discovered a few hiccups with the electrical system and one of the wiring harnesses. A quick swap was all that was needed. We tuned the carburetors to the hotter cam, got the ignition timed in, tended to a few minor drive test bug fixes and polished the new paint job to a shine. Now, we had a car that is everything a Z Car was off the assembly line…and more.
As we prepared to release our latest project, our customer made one final request. This Datsun 240Z and its owner are Arizona residents, and to make this car enjoyable through all 4 seasons of the year, a new Air Conditioning Kit would be the icing on the cake.
Z Car Source builds Air Conditioning Kits in-house for the 1974-1983 Z Cars, with each kit including a compressor, condenser, receiver/drier, and the necessary lines to connect it all together. These kits are designed to fit vehicles that had factory A/C and retain some of the original components of the car while retrofitting it to R-134a refrigerant. While a 1971 240Z did not have factory Air Conditioning, we were able to modify, fit and install an Air Conditioning kit for our customer’s enjoyment. Now she’s ready to go home.
So, we wave goodbye to this 1971 Datsun 240Z, and wish our customer many years of driving fun. While we will miss this project, we won’t have much time to reminisce. Our newest project has already been rolled in and is ready to start…
