A young man driving a 240 Z in the 70s had something else in his hand..

Dreaming of success and the spoils that came with it...money, women and exotic cars.

Come on let’s stop this nonsense.. Most of us are old enough to remember the impotence these cars projected of their wanna be playboy (without means) drivers.

Most of them hairdressers...

There were not many young men in the '70s driving a 930, Countach or 512BB I guarantee that. Most if not all were bought and driven be an older, very affluent clientele. Also the BBi did not come until '81.

Your reply and /or opinion on the Datsun Z, is simply ridiculous and short sighted.

It was an option in ‘75


All Datsun Zs sold Stateside from late '69 were available with AC, installed as a DEALER option. The bracket is a bit crude but works. 48 years later the AC in my neighbor's AC still works on the original R12, it is not icicle cold but when it is 100F and 99% humidity and you're sitting on Vinyl seats, it does a fine job of making the driving experience much more pleasant.
