My Z car Family

My father originally purchased a 1972 240z. My fondest memory when I was a child was riding in “Betsy”. We would often just drive around rocking out to the sounds of the 70’s. I remember the sound the door made when closing, today it still triggers the fondest memories! My father fell so in love with the Datsun 240z, he purchased a new one for my brother when he was 18. I loved riding in his 240z, he had a L28 block and a Monza exhaust system.
He drove fast and the car sounded real COOL! You could hear him from miles away.

Unfortunately, “Betsy” was totaled in a T-Bone accident in 1976. I was lucky, I was dropped off at daycare minutes before the accident. I don’t think a week went by before my father bought a new Datsun 240z, Betsy’s spirit and name were transferred to the new lady in the Z car family.

When I turned 16, my father gave me “Betsy”. She wasn’t new off the showroom floor, but she had a new paint job and new seats. In High School, I took auto shop for 2 years. One of the best memories in my teen age years, was doing the brakes on “Betsy”, my father was so proud of me. Of course, I had to upgrade the stereo and tint the windows! She was my pride and joy!

I started working on Z cars when I was 17. I managed to get a job at an automotive parts business that also had a used car business. I was restoring Z cars and Volkswagons. I was making $5 and hour, I think minimum wage was $3.45! Man, I loved that job! I subsequently learned body work and painting.
Well…Zcars are in my blood to say the least!
