I had a blue 240 in high school, and then a couple of 280ZXs later. I always appreciated the room for a tall driver and loved the cars.
I first saw a 240Z just before I turned 16 (1975) and was amazed at how beautiful it looked. I was with a friend and his Dad. I can remember the Dad saying to me, "Don't bother getting excited about that car, its way too expensive." I can still remember thinking, "So? If I want one I'll have one!" Ha, not much has changed, I owned one a year later.
