When I was a kid my next door neighbor bought one of these new. I was crazy over the way it looked and the way it sounded. I have never loved a car like that since and I still get the same feeling every time I see one.
Seeing a 240Z does bring back memories. I came across a different one at a car show last night, and spectators were flocking to it. My mother had a 280Z when I was in college. Great car until I rolled it and it was totaled.
I had a 74 260Z and a 78 280Z. They were imperfect (rust issues) but the design is classically beautiful. I think the 78 280Z 5 speed with electronic fuel injection might be the best of the breed.
My first car I bought was a Datsun 280Z that I snagged off a neighbor for $300. Shoulda never listened to the Navy recruiter suggesting to get rid of it...
