Someone got a bit carried away didn't they?
Seconded.
No.
How does a 4 barrel Holley work with a 6 cylinder engine?
Who likes the lights under the rad?
It's all a bit silly and a shame because someone has spent a lot of time and money on it. I suppose it could be brought back to something sensible.

I thought the interior was bad til I saw the engine bay! Gawd ...
America does so like to abridge language which is perhaps a little odd here in the UK. I wonder about the yellow yellow (the repeat is intended) paint.
I do have difficulty with modified and particularly replacement (non original) engines fitted to 240Z's. Is it reasonable to claim that a '240Z' is still a '240Z' even with a different or changed engine? The body of a 260Z or even a 280Z is the same as a 240Z. Is it OK still, even though the engine isn't original, to maintain that a modified 240Z (whatever that may mean) is necessarily worth more than a standard 260Z as the forum seem to suggest?

I try to look at things with an open mind but on this occasion I had to close it quick. We all like different things and shouldn't be able to say someone has done something wrong because we don't like it.........but this is just wrong on so many levels. At least he's kept the bodywork standard so all the rest could be easily "improved".
fuel delivery looks like it involves a dead persian cat.
Hilarious

Preet - that isn't yellow it's in yer face and down yer throat AND back up again !
John - but the body is not standard front and rear......
Cars like this give the Z classic scene a bad name and hold down values and the public/press appreciation of them as stated, some people shouldn't own classics.....half the problem here is that the owner still doesn't realise that what he started with was one !
Worse than the 'tuning' scene which involves people (who mainly don't have much) to spend ludicrous amounts of money making their car 'sort-of-look-like' something out of the Touring car race series and end up with something that rapidly shows it age, is worth nothing (?) and a darn sight uglier than before.........
I see this and despair.....I see the latest Aussie green car and USA silver car imported and those from Rahail too and take comfort.
Here's hoping that Essex has grown up and developed good taste. Cheers guys - no harm intended.

It looks like he ramraided Halfords and the entire "chav" section stuck to the car

I can only hope that this car left Arizona in mostly original form and the "transformation" occurred in Canada. Sometimes, too much money is a bad thing. IMO

That works better (with a turbo era car) than the Z !
