Bernie, Boxhead,
This is one of Ian's Ferrari kit's that he brought down to a track day at Wakefield some years back. I don't remember if it was a 240z or 260z



Image is a bit blurry as it's scanned from my photo collection.

You will also see in the background this was before the current pit lane and garages were built.

Ian drives that car as a daily driver and it certainly has stood the test of time and still looks in good shape.

Would be cool with a Gen 111 under the bonnet

Dropped into Shannons the other day (as I always do to dream a bit) and they have one of the Ferrari Datson 240Z there. Really nice unit also and would be interested to see what it goes for. Also have a Cobra there which was a bit tired looking. Interesting reg. label on screen said Robnell but sure didnt look like one.

Boxhead I'll bid for Rhonda no problems, even drive it up for you

I reckon the 260Z 2 seater is the one to use as a basis for the 250GTO kit. They have a stronger chassis than the 240Z. Good original 240Zs are selling for big money these days but the 260Z are a bit more reasonably priced.

An LS1 would be awesome and probably weigh less than the original L26 motor. There have been a few 240 and 260 Z cars with Chevs transplanted into them over the years. I think someone in the US was even selling a conversion kit.

I had a friend years ago transplant a Chev into a 260Z. In QLD you were restricted to a pretty small size, something around 260 cubic inch in these cars. Funny enough Chev make a 260 inch small block and it looks identical to 350 and larger sizes.

Ran auto and diff was upgraded to later model CV joint rear.

These days you would think twice about modding such a collectable car.
