1972 Fairlady 240 Z

Lance Lambert from The Vintage Vehicle Show visits the Datsun Heritage Museum in Murrieta, California. Here he looks at a 1972 Fairlady 240Z (same as Datsun 240Z outside the U.S.) with the museum's director, Fred Jordan, who was also the manager of the first Datsun dealership in the United States.

@CeroDignityLeft That's sad actually. But still, they didn't seem to know a damn thing about the Z's judging by this video. It makes me vexed seeing how confident he is in his stupidity.. I'm sure he was an awesome guy though.

[CeroDignityLeft]

@kimgulle The beautiful and terribly sad thing is that you are wrong.

Fred and the others who ran the museum were so nice, helpful and patient with younger folk, that it really helped people like me get into the cars. When I blew up my Z they gave me advice and contacts to help put my car back together.

The reason they shut down, was unfortunately because Fred Jordan(Owner) lost his fight with Cancer.

I kinda wish that it had been annoying kids that had shut it down rather than cancer.

@CeroDignityLeft With the kind of knowledge this old dude has i'm not surprised why they had to close. Every Z lover who would go there thinking they could talk about the Z's with the owner probably got so frustrated by the idiocy that they told everyone else to keep away...
