June 15, 200817 yr Wow, a total time capsule. 80's cheese did have an influence over the legendary Z, as we can see, but she's still somewhat the stunnah.
June 15, 200817 yr Wow..that's in nice shape. I haven't seen a decent one of those in many years. In the '80s-90s in Arizona, my sister was a real Z fanatic--she had a '77 280Z, followed by an '82 280 ZX, followed by an '85 300ZX 2+2 and lastly a '90 300ZX turbo. Then she moved to Boston and bought a SAAB Turbo.
June 15, 200817 yr Our family car in the early 80s. Nice ride. How few miles???? Enjoy the commercials...
June 15, 200817 yr Nice! Does it have any restoration done to it, paint, interior? It looks so new/clean!
June 16, 200817 yr Fly is alive? And the Datsun is an auto? What a letdown. Hey, it's still fun to drive....
June 16, 200817 yr I just love that car, and the earlier version of that car. The three Japanese cars that I really, really love... First gen 240Z car First gen RX-7 First/Second Gen Miata That Z is an awesome driver, and my kind of car, auto non-withstanding. That being said, I've been looking at a couple of Aurora's. Maybe we have more in common than I thought...welcome back, Fly! Chris

June 17, 200817 yr 1980s Z-cars are cool and I'd buy a cheap one but compared to the early original 1970s 240Zs they are actually quite ugly and disproportioned. Noting says "cheesier than a 1978 two door Ford Granada with a carriage top" than a late 1970s or early 1980s 2+2 Z-car. Although I never was successfull I always wanted to score these rims for my Maxi-pads. Oh-well. My Datsun experience is probably over, unless a ridiculous cheap one comes along I'm buying GM intermediates for my "super-MPG-beaters" from now on, I wish I still had my '62 Buick with its thunder-down-under fireball six.

June 18, 200817 yr Sooo, Fly.... great, Datsun, dealer plates.... wow. Seriously the $40,000 question is: what the heck happened to make you stay away for so long? And with no precedent?
June 18, 200817 yr Author A close personal matter involving my family. I'm not really in the spirit to go into details right now, but suffice it to say that things are on the upswing.

June 19, 200817 yr Damn, that's a nice car! You sold it? How much? Heck, Clearwater Florida.. That's not far from me..... An '83 Turbo ZX. She's so much fun...
