My 1979 280ZX 2x2 was absolutely the best car I've ever had, and beautiful with metallic blue paint and blue velor interior, I called her "Little Girl." So darn dependable. The first car I've ever driven that got 2nd and 3rd gear scratch without even trying.
Yes, the corners to look forward to, a little water puddle in the road to play in. I'll never own anything else.
But alas, rust and a lady changing lanes totaled her. But after my mourning period was over, I now own a 80 280ZX 2 seater, black, gold pin striping, and tan interior 130,000 original miles. I call her "BB" because she is black and beautiful.
Her body is not as long and elegant, but I'm learning to love her differences. I LOVE THE Z CARS.

I have a 1979 280 zx that I have done some re-wiring and replaced the brakes on and just took it on a 600 mile round trip non-stop (except for gas) and she ran like a champ! I've had it pegged out at the 140mph mark and still had tons of pedal left! I love this car! I've been a Datsun fan since I was a kid. The first truck I owned was a 79 Datsun 620 and I also had a 79 Datsun B210, all ran beyond the call of duty!
