Yep! That's the one exactly! Unfortunately mine wasn't in quite as good a shape as yours seemed to be. I paid $1000 for mine and when I got it the engine had 100K miles and the paint was already starting to peel. Then the interior headliner started to sag and so on. But I still got another 150K+ out of that sucker and would have gotten more if my son hadn't blown up the engine. He used it to go rockclimbing while I was out of town once and the the radiator sprung a leak. The engine light came on and he didn't know what to do. He continued driving it for another 50 miles and the engine overheated and the block cracked. And that was that... It looked like hell, and the heater and AC were both gone for the bulk of the time I had it, but I still miss that car a lot!

I used to have a '78 Datsun 510, which was the 200SX's direct predecessor. It had that same weird 5-speed shift pattern. Can't tell you how many times I almost shifted into reverse instead of 5th! It had the old 240Z engine and it was a scream off the line! The speedometer stopped at 120 (about 5:30 on the circular dial), but that needle could go nearly all the way straight down if you pushed it. I'm thinkin' 135 MPH, conservatively. And it was still going that fast at 258,000 miles! Great little car.
