Worst: 1972 Datsun 240Z
Best: 1978 Datsun 280Z and of course 1979 930

I bought a '72 240Z the day I turned 16 and had no idea what rust was. I bought it for $1,600 hard earned dollars and sold it to a junk yard a few months later for $400. A couple of incidents in the car: 1. A front suspension link broke when it rusted through while driving down the highway, luckily I didn't crash. 2. At a high school party some hot chick in a brand new chevy blazer liked my car and wanted to drive it so we traded cars. I was following her in the 240 with me in her blazer when the 240Z driver door flew open as she went through a turn, fortunately she didn't fall out. She must have been pretty drunk because she thought it was hilarious. What a piece of crap that thing was. When I was looking for my next Z car about 10 years later, I swear one of the rust buckets I looked at was owned by the same couple that sold me the rust bucket 10 years earlier!

The '78 280Z was great because I bought a really clean car and had great fun with it for many years. I lost money on it mainly because I spent so much money modifying it but it was well worth it.

And of course any air cooled Porsche you bought many years ago was a great buy.
