I'm a lucky man
Holy smokes folks I am in 7th heaven. I just purchased my dream car a 1981 Datsun 280zx Turbo in mint condition. Hey I LOVE my SVX but I grew up wanting a 280zx after owning a 1972 240z while going through University. Now I have my 280zx for my summer toy and the SVX for everyday use. Can you ask for anything better? The 280ZX is a black and gold with beige leather interior, T-tops. And I thought my SVX was in good shape, this thing puts it to shame. Will post pics soon....
Oh I'll be looking for a top notch car cover for use outdoors. Any suggestions on brand names... or good places to buy one....

Re: I'm a lucky man
That car looks awesome! Glad to see you got your dream.
My dream car is the SVX... Though not the one I have currently, lol. I want a Claret just like Mikes... He has my total dream car.

Re: I'm a lucky man
You just need the turbo light bar for the rear.

Re: I'm a lucky man
Thanks guys. It is sweet isn't it. Now I just have to make sure it stays in that condition. No winters and a car cover whenever it's not in use....

Re: I'm a lucky man
I'd definatly keep it in the garage covered and away from rain, winter and other wet conditions as these things are known to ROT heavily and flake like a potatoe chip. There is one of these exactly the same model,color about 10 min. from me and it's been sitting on the grass threw all seasons without a cover and not drivin. Don't ask me what it looks like.Yours on the other hand looks awsome!
