I have a friend with a really nice original Black Pearl for $15k in NE Forida if your interested.   

Maybe depending on what happens tomorrow, this one is only 200 Miles away.

Welcome to CZZC @riverstonefly!

Beautiful SC!

Yep---your new prospective mistress will be a less costly lady to keep.

There are quite a few Porche owners, some from this forum, that started out with Z cars. You are going the other way! 

It's a fact---- I've had more Porche owners come over to me at the gas pumps and start a pleasant conversation than any other car owners---another this past weekend----never had a Vette owner do that!

thanks bud, I'm a product of the 70's and 80's my friend. I'm sure that I will always have at least one Porsche in the garage but I think a Z will look great parked next to one! I figure that I'd better snatch one up now before they get out of hand.

Couple of comments:

Porsche owners (I currently own a 981 Cayman S) share the love for 2 seat, nimble, pure sports cars with a definite GT feel. My Cayman gives me the exact same feeling I had driving my new '77 280Z back in the day.

As far as value for that '77 280Z, @riverstonefly2 years ago I paid $18,000 for my 90,000 mile, extremely original, rustfree "78 280Z (no sunroof, impeccable interior) that was only missing the original radio and wheels. Depending on the mechanicals, and the actual quality of the body panels and chassis, I think that candidate is very strong and although a price of 10K would be fantastic, I don't think it's very realistic. I think a fair price would be between 16 and 20K in the current market. That would still make it a good deal since your expenses to bring it to excellent shape would be very reasonable due to the overall condition.

The bonus is that despite the opinions of all the 240Z owners on the forum (no nasty comments please ), the 280Z will provide you with a much more refined drive, similar to your SC ! 

Boom on my way home fellas. This car is absolutely amazing pictures did not do it justice and I was wrong it is a one owner 1978 Datsun 280Z this thing is absolutely crazy fellas. More pics to come once I get home

Congratulations. Looks like a nice open road to test it out and see how fast you can get a ticket in it haha.

Congrats, riverstonefly!  Now, I can't wait for my turn to score a great 280Z!
