Such a gorgeous car... the 1970 Nissan S30 Fairlady Z (aka Datsun 240Z outside of Japan) 😍

...and the 1976 Datsun 280Z model (North America only) too. Swit-swoo.

@stokes I was literally thinking last night, "if my BRZ were to have an engine problem, I wonder if I could find an old 280Z or 260?"
@chipmcdonald I'm sure you could. The real question is, how much cash would you be willing to part with! 🙂
@stokes Well, as I said, I thought about it... may as well get another BRZ/GT86 for what 280s are going for.
@chipmcdonald BRZ is a nice car by the way. *hat tip* Looks great and I'm guessing a lot of fun to drive?
@stokes Without a doubt, the BEST daily driver car for the money. I've never been more pleased with a purchase.
It is so balanced, does not need more hp, gets 28mpg. Miatas feel clunky and nose heavy in comparison. Torsen diff probably catches people out, which is why so many get wrecked, but is so satisfying in tight corners.
It feels "very sorted out" in stock configuration, road feel, shifting... ultra confident feeling, predictable, super fun. No mechanical issues... If there is something better I'd like to know, but I'm sure there isn't.
