:yesnod: I've always liked the 280 when I was younger.
Once in a while I'll see a 240 running around in mint condition and want one.

Then I remember what Godawful rust buckets with poor handling they were. :lol:

Would be fun to find a clean one and bring it up to current tech with an FI 6 though. :cool:

I knew someone who had a 280. It still ran like a top but the body rusted away until it was junk.

A 300ZX was my dream car through most of grade school. Off to craigslist...

Oh yeah :Jeff '79:

Those little motors were durable though.

Back in '71, one of the guys in my HS showed up in a new Dk. Green 240Z. The car had minilites and a rear spoiler, otherwise bone stock. I thought it was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen. A year later, I had a chance to drive one in the Swiss alps- and it was as fun to drive as it was to look at. For all of it's quirks, the car was magic.

Always liked the 240's and the later 300Z's that also gave us the best tv ad.

I remember that commercial. I didn't know it was for Nissan, though. Of course, I was only 8 in 1990 so I probably thought it was for a toy. I wasn't exactly wrong.
