It is listed, but i'd say wrongly. The windscreen's a bit too vertical to balance the curved body shape

Now Datsun 240z - got it right

For me it was the early 80s 300ZX that was the prettiest of the series..but then I was in love with the 66 Corvette Stingray too.

Had serial #2138, bought new. Pukey nonmetallic gold color. Dealer-added alloy wheels, the ones with bean-shaped holes.

Datsun dealer installed an aftermarket A/C system in it—first 240 A/C done in Phoenix; what a mechanical and functional mess!

Used to run out to LA, driving not by the speedometer, but by the temperature gauge.

Learned some serious driving in it (not just the Highschool driver training stuff). But it was really costly—to the machine, that is.

Yes, but the embarrassment of having to admit you drove a Datsun......

I'll go with that, and the 260Z was nice too. I really enjoyed mine (many years ago).
