My Pops bought a 90 or 91 brand new just like the red one in the pic above. It was non-FI but MAN was that thing fun to drive. That car was WAY ahead of its time IMO.

I love the original Zs.

When I went to work just the other day, I saw a CDC officer in a beautiful classic Z with the plate: OLD RICE

I'd like to buy a 240, 260, or 280Z to restore one day.

The 240Z was just a beautiful car!!! And for its time it was a beast on the roads!!! Great power coupled with excellent handling (again, for 1970)
