Looks like I've got a guy interested in trading a '71 240z for one of my finished projects I can't get rid of (the saturn I've got in the classifieds). I guess it ran fine when they put it in storage a few years ago and now it won't start. It needs floors (I've never found a rust free one in ohio) and has a few other rust spots but has shiny paint, nice wheels, and is generally presentable. I need to go see it in person but from the pictures it's definitely in much, MUCH better shape than my rusty, twisted, primered, and wrecked a few times '70 and will be a much better starting place.
How do these things do on the track in relatively stock form? I'm looking for a reliable and easy to fix track rat that I won't feel to bad about wrecking (i.e. not my '06 GTI that I still owe a bunch of money on). I'd like to be able to get it running and reliable and just throw a set of good pads and tires under it and drive to the track. Is the stock brake hardware up to this task? Easy brake swaps? I recall the brakes on my '70 being pretty tiny but since I've never driven that car I've got no idea how well they work. Otherwise I'd like to limit mods to a bolt-in roll bar, seats, harnesses, and a good set of springs/shocks/sways. In general, a moderately streetable car I don't have to trailer to the track.
I seem to recall at lest one person on here having a 240z track car...
