SherryZ — 1972 Datsun 240Z
The Story
Purchased a 1972 Datsun 240Z in 2021. Rusted floor pans and rocker panels but what's a little more fab work?
In 2025 we tore her down and repaired all of the corrosion. She's currently getting built right alongside Donna with the goal of finishing both cars at the same time.
Key Engineering Highlights
Corrosion Repair
Full floor pan and rocker panel repair and replacement.
Engine Build
Same built heads and enlarged valves as Donna, but keeping the original SU carbs and running a hopped up street cam grind. All the character, plenty of go.
Parallel Build
Being built simultaneously with Donna the Datsun — same shop, same commitment.
What I Did
Full tear-down, corrosion repair, and ongoing restoration.
Impact
In progress — the goal is to finish both Z cars together.
Status: In restoration/build
