That looks just like the one that I used to own. Exact same color! Drove mine until 1990 when it was beginning to fall apart. Lived in San Francisco and, while parked, the Z was the first in a 5-car chain reaction demolition derby put on by an elderly lady who apparently couldn't distinguish the brake from the gas pedal of her Mercedes. The Z was never the same after the rebuild. I would love to have that car again. I'm 6'7" and that's one of the few cars I've ever comfortably fit in. Wow!

He bought it exactly one year before I was born. It tore him up to sell the vehicle about 10 years ago (approx. 20 yrs of ownership). He took INCREDIBLE car of the vehicle, and it performed marvelously the last ride I took in it (Tampa, FL on a beautiful day). My favorite picture of my childhood has me sitting at the wheel of that car. Now, his brother has a white, slightly younger model, which is in the process of restoration. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. My father had a green (with a glitter treatment to it) 280Z. He bought it exactly one year before I was born.
