Back in the '70's - 240Z


Recommended Posts

A friend & I got into waxing cars back in our high school days.

We got to do a lot of interesting cars (BMWs,Maserati Mistral,Ferrari-

Daytona,etc).We specialized in 240Zs.

The first one we did was from a guy who sold ads for the

Yellow Pages phone book.He dropped it off at the neighbor's house

(my partner in the car waxing business),& we told him that we'd drop

it off at his work (downtown). I didn't even know how to drive a clutch.

I drove it downtown,& parked it in a parking lot & heard a cracking noise.

Turns ot that I hit the spoiler on a wooden parking stop.I ended up pay-

ing $5 more for a new spoiler than we made from the job.

I also got to stay with the owner,who lived up by the Twin Peaks

area in San Francisco.He let me drive the car all over - I put about 200

miles on it in one day.Gas was cheap.
