looks very tidy mate! what a great example

the only thing i would do is get rid of the wheels so the hubcaps are gone, and get some fatter tyres hehehe but thats just me

love the blind in the back window great work, love it

Howdy Denz,

Great lookin 78. I am thinking about purchasing a 77 or 78 280z to drive daily, since I now drive my 72 daily and would like to 'semi-retire' it to save it for my son in 20 years.

Tell me your opinion if you would, on how you like the 78. If you are knowledgeable, besides the 5 speed, does the car's refinements help/not help it in comparison to the 75/76 280z's?

Thanks,

Hi Brandt, that is one very nice looking Z car. It appears to be straight & rust free! I agree with Brycey, though...those hubcaps gotta go!!!!

dogma420, remember that the 5 speed is an optional item on the 77-78. The 4 speed was standard.

well yeah blake, I'm not trying to be so specific; you don't have to waste your time with trivial stuff. I've been in the Zed loop a long time and its assumed that the 4 speed was standard and the 5 speed an option.
