Hi I'm Mike Kendrick from Detroit Michigan and here are a few photos of my baby. I've told the wife that she'll leave before I get rid of the car; LOL. All jokes aside, few women or people in general for that fact understand the love affair between a Z-car and it's owner. It's like when she's running right, there's nothing on the road that can touch it. She can squat down real low and shift her weight when you dive into that curve; and be ready to explode out of the end for that next straight-away. But enough about me and more about the car.

As you can see, she's a 1973 vintage 240Z. I'm not the original owner, but I am the second owner of the car. The guy I purchased it from, bought it new and kept it for 6 years before selling her to me in 1980;  to buy of all things, A VETTE!!! I haven't changed much on her other than the carburation and exhaust systems. I went from the British SU's to the Bob Sharp 4 Barrel conversion kit because I'm lazy and didn't like trying to keep them in synch all the time. The kit turned out to be a winner. I had the head and valve train redid and also installed the Bob Sharp Header and muffler kit which gives it a nice growl and a real kick in the pants when you jump on her from the line. The engine really can breathe with this setup. The only exterior changes I've made have been to the front and rear fascias. As you can probably tell, I removed both bumpers to give it that Ferrari look. I had both fascias rounded off to give that smooth European feel. I'm currently experiencing some electricall problems in the engine area and will eventually replace it. The original 4-speed trans is there but I did opt for Mulholland shocks and struts and I beefed up both swaybars slightly. There you have it; My Z-car, My Baby.

Isn't she sweet ?????
