I've had probably 30 different Datsun Zs, actively drove about 5 of them for many years, and parted out about 20 of the rustier ones. The one car I wish I could have kept was a low VIN # 71 240Z that was in excellent shape (painted dark blue), that I had later 280ZXT turbo wheels on. I loved that car, and would buy another one in a heartbeat.
The Indy mechanic I use exclusively for all my cars used to have an import shop. He would make regular runs to California for different races he was competing in (Datsun 2000 roadster race car), and would bring back clean, rust free 240Zs to have for buildups. After getting flooded out several times in his former location, he now has all of these nice rebuildable cars in his barn at his home. At some point, when I can gather up some scratch, I need a new project car before he retires completely.
