Why even compare it to a 944?
The Z car is what it is. You caught a nice one.
Please forgive me for talking about me, but my pal, recently deceased around Christmas, kept this Z in his humidity controlled garage since 75 or 76. I don't know the year exactly. Someone here will. Sub 20k miles. Smells new inside. He collected everything from bugs to beer labels. Eccentric, but a hoot. Why he bought a 2+2 is beyond me.
Here was his pride and joy. A 68 2000 Datsun Roadster (SP 311) on the day the buyer took it away last week.
RIP, Bruce. You were my best friend.
