Those old 240s were great cars! Glad to see them getting the appreciation they deserve

What makes this company so successful is everybody LOVES to work there. I know they work hard to make it work, but they have equal fun time, and I mean FUN, FUN, FUN. You couldn't run the employees off with a stick. Dennis you are the WIZARD behind all this. Love the videos, keep them coming and several a week if possible. Show us some of the stages of restoring one of the Shelbys, a time frame from start to finish please. thanks.

Hello Mr. Collins, I am a subscriber from Ethiopia and those cars are still a daily driver in Ethiopia. Thank you for bringing quality content as usual.

Original Z cars(mostly)with original owners are a rarity now. I bought mine 9/24/71, a blue (903) with black interior. Now has 44,000 miles on it and is still in pristine condition. It will go to my son when I pass. Exceptional cars, strong except for the bodies, and very easy to work on. I've raced one since 1986 in SCCA.

Leave it to Dennis Collins to find a very unique car all the way from Africa. Always the gentleman to everyone around him. My younger brother had a Honda Trail 90 back when he was in his early teens. Who knew?

Man now that is a rare find Dennis. It's in pristine condition... I really want to see the outcome

My buddy had a 1970 240 and we had a blast in that car. I've always loved them. This is an amazing find in amazing condition. Well done!!!

Dennis You ARE THE Man !! Giving your guys those bikes was just to cool ! Love Ya !! Mean It !!!!

Dennis the Cardealer was in Asmara/ Ethiopia. But the City Asmara belong to Eritrea now.Back then it was a part of the Kingdom Ethiopia. The Region ist Northeast Afrika in the Redsea . Coffee Walk is everywhere 🙌🏽

Dennis in 1972 Asmara was part of ethiopia, now its Eritrea...no wonder I never saw this car growing up there

What a beautiful Z! Great story behind it and the bike, dude must have had a blast in Ethiopia as a young man, love it.

So when Dennis asks you “what’s your favorite local restaurant?” & doesn’t like your answer, he’ll give you one more chance for you to satisfy his picky pallet. When he doesn’t like your 2nd favorite choice he’ll give up on you by not inviting you. Then he’ll lie & say “It was recommended we go to Hurtados.” The evolution to this channel is why I keep watching.

Another amazing find! The backstories on the cars are sometimes more interesting than the car itself. And that food look excellent, and the background music was perfect!

I have a Uncle that was stationed in Ethiopia in the early 70's (Army), they may have known each other! Thnx for the video Dennis!!

Outstanding Friday of Course with Dennis and Crew!! God Bless America 🇺🇸

I drove my boss's 260Z and it was a BLAST! It had adjustable suspension and a cassette player. That was when I was introduced to Pat Benatar. 1977-78

back in the 70's all a/c was factory units but installed by dealer, I worked for a Datsun dealer in 1976

God bless you Alex & Zach for putting up with him.

I learned to drive a stick, in a 78 280Z. My first bike, @ 16, was a Kawasaki 2 Stroke "Widow Maker".

Fridays = coffewalk on My little plot of Denmark 🇩🇰🚗☕

I also own a 1973 240z that is stock, been in the garage since 1996 with about 171K on it. It is more of the beater version than this one Dennis found. You know, driven hard put away wet. I am in the process of upgrading it, had to wait till retirement to do so, time and money is what it takes. Good find and story, thanks for sharing. Go Z!!!!!

The color on the 240 is OUTSTANDING!

I love how you NEVER talk them down in their prices. Your a GREAT guy Dennis! 🤙🏼😁 Love watching your show. You guys do a fantastic job at what y’all do. 👌🏼

WOW!!!!!!! Back in the mid to late 80's when I was in my late teens, one of my friends had a 240Z. It's a good thing that cars can't talk. 🙈🙉🙊😎

Dennis Collins is the ultimate finder of classic muscle and rare automobiles . Love the color of the Datsun.

What an awesome story and history! I don't know if I could ever part with a car I'd had for 50 yrs, and what a car it is. Great episode, thanks 🙂

These bikes are incredible. Nice find

Awesome! thanks very much for sharing with us! I hope you and your dear families have a wonderful weekend!!

i had a 70 when i was young. the displacement in those is phenomenal. you just found a lump of gold in a coal mine...

Real nice catch on all three of those beauties and I came here for the great grub at the end too. 👍

Those cars have been modded in every form to include a Small block Chevy V8! Great to see a stock platform still exists!

I have a green and black 1975 Kawasaki FR175 sitting in my storage unit fully restored. Fun two stroke to ride around on.

It's great to see Junior in one of the videos Dennis Collins

My grandfather was drafted and served in Ethiopia... he sent his checks home to pay for his brand new 1967 427 4 speed Marlboro red stingray.

I owned a '71 240Z with factory air. It was my all time favorite ride.

Nice car. Beautiful.From the Motherland. Screaming yella nice. The two Kawasakis were cool. What a deal.♥️♥️👍🤑🤑🤑

12:20 min - Hope you kept that! Loved everything about this video.👍

Dennis ya have found. Gold mine buy Datsun 240 n old classic bikes too. Wow ya never know what ya can find with great old school men here. Many memories being shown here. Da Datsun 240 z. Brings me back to middle school days seeing them going down da road . Da 260, da 280, da 270, oh da 300 z. Well ya get da point here am screaming right , lol good times.

The red Kawasaki 100, looks like the 1971 G4TR that I had years ago. It had a high and low gearing.

Is this a dream? Dennis finding one of my favourite cars! 👌

Always enjoy my Saturday mornings having breakfast and watching Coffee Walk.

A very unique story and car. I always like the Datsun Z cars back in the day. I lived in a GM town so anybody wanting to drive anything from Japan was frowned upon but that didn't change the fact that I love the look of that car and finally got to drive one in 1980. Very cool car. I've been watching your channel for a time now first time I've seen Zach the cameraman. You've introduced him numerous times but this is the first time I've see his face. He does a fine job behind the camera.

I love these rescue vlogs! I watched this today and heard that same song on the radio today at work that was playing in the background while ya'll was eating. If you like peanut coladas, or gettin caught in the rain!!

I'm literally drooling over the 240. Glad to know it's in good hands.

Thank You, Sir! I was so amazed by this video. I am from Ethiopia and live in Texas as well. It was very unusual to find such a solid car with long solid history! It is Real Coffee walk.

Daniel Todd ; I one million percent agree with you !! Stay safe.

You never cease to amaze me,,,Sir Dennis Collins.... thanks 😎

Denis is a gent. What a lovely interaction. Selling something so personal is like putting down your dog. Dennis gets it with this other man who loves cars.

after market, not stock mirrors ( OE only on drivers side) no chin spoiler (n/g)on fuel system there was a recall and an electric fuel pump added, plus insulation on fuel line. Another little California tip is to squeeze off the pipe that runs coolant thru manifold and put a distributor condenser in the right angle short hose to the block, this will prevent vapor lock

That car looks new!The food looks good!

Hi there, we are in New-Zealand and love this show of Dennis and the guys, unfortunately down here we have limited collectable mint cars, great work guys !!

Amazing!. I am in Kenya and own a 1976 Toyota Corolla ke25 coupé in great condition, happy to see a car from its generation overseas with its roots in Ethiopia (which boarders Kenya). Great content!. New subscriber.

I used to own a 1972 240Z, 112 yellow green, four speed, essentially identical to this one. I still remember the serial number HLS30-49515. I sold it foolishly in 2008 when it had 89k on it, and would love to have another one!

I had a 100 just like that when I was 16 years old. Wish I could find one. Was a fun bike!

First time I saw a Datsun 240Z was when one came around a corner I was standing on in Staines, Middlesex, UK. It turned that corner like it was on rails. That was 1972 and I was 12 years old. I fell in love with that car then but have never had the opportunity to own one and now the prices are just going up and up. Beautiful. Please show us what happens in the restoration and when it’s completed.

Wow really cool find. I love seeing those cars on the road. Those bikes are really sick too! 👍👍🔥🔥

Dennis Collins is so lucky to be able to buy these cars.

OMG! Love that Z! I had a 240Z that was an early first year car. The number on it was 1995! Would love to get another one

just bought a 1975 280z looks all original even paint. will be here end of week fingers crossed

Wow Dennis another amazing find! Back in 1978 the local Datsun dealer had a brand new T top 280Z in a copper metallic that was something like $8,000 dollars back then! Doesn't seem like a lot now but back then I worked in a restaurant and only made maybe $4.50 an hour. So it was way out of my budget but from time to time I still think about how cool that car was! One of a few dream cars that I was not able to get back in the day. It is really cool of you to let your Guys have the option on the motorcycles rather than just doing a quick flip for the profit on them. You are unusual because you do the nice things for the people around you!

Wow! Looks pristine to me. At least on video. Great find with great history!

First thank you to the gentleman for his service to the country and I can just imagine the stories of driving this car his young wife him being in the military this gentleman has lived the American dream

Back in 1972 some alumni of Knox College in Galesburg, IL where I was a student doing photojournalism for the school donated a harness horse racetrack to the school and sent me there to photograph it. When I arrived I discovered the parking lot was filled with new 240Zs, at least 100 of them. The track wasn’t in use and the parking lot had been rented out for car storage. It was a awesome sight your video brought to mind.

Hey Dennis; I was in the Army at that time , also was stationed in Texas (circa.1972/73) at Fort zsam Houston Brooke Army medical center as a Medicare trainee and my company commander had a beautiful lime green 240z which was always eye candy to me. Great presentation always !! Dennis ! I try not to miss any of your videos but your food stops are murder for me controlling my diet !!.

JACK: Background music, you've outdone YOURSELF!

My father was stationed in Asmara in 1972, I was 5 or 6 when we lived there. I'll have to check the family photo album and see if I have any pics of the car. They used to have a race around the city, I wonder if he raced this car in it. We left our early 70s Bronco over there when we left. Would sure like to have that now.

Great find !! I absolutely love the old 240’s especially that color !! Outstanding !! And killer find on the Kawasaki’s

That Tamiya model is phenomenal !!!!!!!!!!

I had a 72 Kawasaki G4E 100cc growing up as a kid that my dad and I turned into a dirt bike and the 100cc you bought reminds me of it! Now I want one again! Awesome video Dennis

FYI @Dennis Collins, I used to spray Imron. One of it's characteristics is that it is glossiest as sprayed. If you try to cut and buff Imron, it is never as wet looking as it was before buffing. The rule of thumb was if you messed up the paint job somehow, (run, orange peel, dry spray, etc) sand it back and re-spray. Awesome paint otherwise except the isocyanates in the hardener were/are deadly. Probably the first paint that could kill a painter. Great video. Your lunch scene made me hungra.. Time to go make dinner.

This has to be one of the coolest cars with an awesome story and looks amazing

Amazing fine Dennis I bought a 1972 Datsun 240Z black on black in 1982 with 30,000 MI for $600 awesome car

Japanese craftsmanship is absolute Absolutely the best

Love the old Datsuns. Back in Australia a long time ago my father had a 240K. Same 2.4 6 cylinder engine in a different 2 door body with a 4 speed.

Imron paint was a industrial paint for the most part. We used it quite a bit in the 80s to paint pressure vessel's

11.49 - naughty Dennis not knowing Ethiopia is more than a fair distance away from South Africa lol

I bought my 240 in '92. I've loved them since before they were cool! BTW, I have 5 hubcaps.....

What an amazing find. You guys have a nack for this stuff. Pleasure to watch. Thanks to all for the hard work and epic camera and editing work Zack. God bless you boys.

Kawasaki KV100, what an outstanding find. 100cc two stroke, they had a high/low gearbox making it a ten speed. it was my first bike and I went everywhere on it. It came without the muffler in the exhaust pipe so I designed one when I was in class in highschool only to find out I designed what was already available....

I had a 65 Mustang painted in red Imron back in the late 70's. Dennis was right, it was called fleet paint, because it was used on buses, airplanes, trucks...the stuff was tough! I was told that you couldn't cut n buff Imron paint, but I did it and it looked awesome. The Z had an amazing back story too.

Can we take a moment and talk about how cool Alex is? " Alex, are you here?" " Maybe". He is a man of few words. Ha!!

Thanks Dennis! I had a KE 125 until I got a 73 240Z in 1982. I loved both and would love to have them again.

Drove a Fairlady Z while serving in Yokosuka, Japan in 1980s. What a fun car!

All I can say is that you absolutely hit the jackpot with the Z! I’ve been looking for a fixer upper but can’t find nothing that isn’t a bucket of rust and over priced! My first two cars were Z’s 260Z and a 280zx. Loved both of them! Congrats!

Still watching from San Antonio. 🌹

Nice find, FYI series 1 was from 69(Japan)-mid 71. An easy way to tell is there will be 2 vents on the hatch and 240Z badge on the C pillar. Cheers!

I'm 75 yo, and i had one just like it, mine was Hunter Green, but no AC. they were a rust bucket but I'm in Canada . Cool Dennis hope to see it running

I had one, had a fiberglass one piece front flip clip, Cam upgrade, 3 2 barrel webers,magnesium amreican racing wheels.

Great fan there Dennis very clean 240Z your two guys I'm sure they highly appreciate those motorbikes as always Dennis you take care of you guys that's why you keep going forward in life you got to give back take care

when you were playing around with the peppers, the top of my head started to sweat like crazy!!!! lol

I vote that you have ‘Rupert Holmes - Escape’ playing in the background of every video .. who doesnt love piña coladas🍹 ps. love the datto

I have always wanted a 240Z. Beautiful cars. Very nice.

Cool. I learn something with every episode. Very interesting. Thanks Dennis.

OMFG!! What an amazing survivor!! WOW!! WOW!! WOW!! 😲Gorgeous!! 💓💓💓

I love the Kawasakis. My first bike, back in 77 was a G5E. Such a great find.

Hurtado's is fantastic and you need to go through the Alley right now to get there. There is one over in Little Elm now so a little closer to you.

Dennis gambles with cars and trucks ! Wins alot.

While in Arlington did stop at the Hill's residence? Hank likes to hang out in the alley and drink with his buddies. Anyways a great story like most you show. Thank you for sharing.

I had the same color ‘71 240z, great car and at 6’6” the legroom was amazing. Still one of the funnest cars I ever owned and working on it was a breeze.

Love the vlogs with great music from the 70’s 🇺🇸😎👍🏻🦅
