Here is a blue one, minus the front air damn, which is only like 200$. The paint actuallly looks nicer than mine.

Here is one I found in your area, everything looks great. Except the rust scares me a little, if its only surface rust u can grind it off. Otherwise ur looking at welding new panels in. The front air damn and headlight covers can he had for around 250$

^I like that blue, really nice shade. The white one looks to be in better shape bodywise. Did they make these cars in a charcoal, or black? I really like the interior of these for being a 70's auto. Impressive. You should post some pics of your interior.

I've always liked the pre 92 Jaguar XJS's a lot, unfortunately they only came with auto tranny's. A lot of people drop Chevy 350's in em, but I wouldn't want to do that. If I swapped anything it'd be the transmission. But honestly the car is so beautiful to me I'd leave it as it is. Here's a couple:

Special Edition that is very hard to find:

I know I want to get a classic auto to restore and work on eventually...just not sure what. But you've definitely opened my eyes to the 240. I'd heard of them before but didn't know much about them.

I always liked these too (saw one in an old bond film for the first time):

Holly crap, that "240z" in the superstreet magazine you see is NOT a Nissan/datsun. Its a 1969 toyota gt. That's hilarious.


But yeah, if u want the poor mans classic sports car and dont have to sacrafice quality. Get a 240z, they're light and very fast. Their engines are bullet proof. I have a nissan pickup with the same engine design minus 2 cylinders and it has almost 300,000 miles on the original engine. Still runs great!

That's why i always believed in old nissan craftsmanship, the new ones are a different story. I hope they improve back to their old standards...



See look, its a toyota GT 2000, the other one just has a nissan engine swap.

Yeah I didn't want to use that site, but it had the best photos of the 2000GT I could find. Love that car.

I would agree that Nissan's QA has gone down a bit. I'm currently renting a Sentra and the interior materials have decent fit and finish, but the console panels rattle and hum over anything not newly paved. There is a lot of wind noise and some other hums coming from the rear wheel wells. Aside from all that, talking to the rental agent, this car has been serviced too many times for a car with 6000 miles on it. My friend's Maxima has some similar issues that shouldn't exist in their top of the line sedan. Can't hang Nissan for it, a lot of other makes have similar issues.

I still see a lot of Nissan and Toyota pickups similar to yours.

Anyway, I'd like to see more photos of your interior if you got any. If not it's cool.
