Just saw this!  Automatic Z with Jennifer Anniston's fine arse in it.

 

 

I might take a 2+2 if it had that feature...

Movie - The Van - 1977

Prolly been mentioned before but I watched Fast Times at Ridgemont High this weekend. Damone is selling tickets in the parking lot, '76 I think, 280 parked while Forest Witaker pulls up in his Camaro Z28.

Ah, Phoebe Cates

Just saw a commercial while sitting in my hotel. Has a 280z on an add as a guys dream car for $39,995.

Ferg I had to ask the community about that one, I wasn't positive it was a Z.  Gives you that warm fuzzy feeling seeing your car on a money management commercial, makes me think I finally made a good decision.

I knew I made a good decision on July 20, 1973 when I bought my 73 240Z brand new off the showroom floor! That 1973 car was replaced in 1991 with a 71 240Z. I've been a very happy 240Z owner now for 46 years straight. My good decision feeling is based on the fun of driving the car!

Well, I wasn’t 100% sure either but the front of the car made me think it had to be.
I really believe in the coming years these cars will become highly collectible. Why? He’s my rational. 1. They’re beautiful by almost any standard. 2. They’ve become difficult to find and when they were cheap to obtain and modify 15-20 yrs ago many were ratted out, leaving the well sort of dry
3. They’re unique and were quality built cars from the get go. Unlike a Fiat or MG etc. The Z’s were well made cars that started a revolution in the industry.
Recap...Beautiful, Unique, Reliable, Affordable, Nostalgic. What other cars fit those adjectives like a Z?

Just wondering where you draw the line for ratted out?

Hadn’t thought of where the line is. I see a lot of Zs that are beat up and heavily modified. Fuel cells, V8s. Cars they were built to race or with cheap bandaid repairs by people that can’t afford to restore a car properly. Crazy fiberglass and bondo bodies.

This car would qualify.

Those are definite "ratted out"!

Right off the top of my head I can count at least 14 things I've "upgraded", except for the front air dam the body is stock and my motor is a numbers match. I think I don't fall in the ratted category.
