I bought my 70 'Cuda at the BX in Saigon, and picked it up stateside. Drove it for 11 months, and when I went past the Datsun dealer, I saw a Japanese Racing Green '71 240Z. Well I turned around, and went back to the dealer and traded the Mopar Machine for my Z. My Dad said "you paid $4000 for a Datsun?" We'll when I made it back home for a visit he loved it. 4 yrs later I had to sell it, and my 1960 Austin Healey "Bugeye" Sprite. Had to have room for the wife and kids. Fast forward a few decades, and I was shopping for a Spec Z to fix up and race. Found one, but the dealer wouldn't sell it, as he wanted to race it. I looked around for a few more weeks, and then one day checking my bank balance I had an ad for a car loan. Eh, what the heck. I looked at the 370Z, and found one I liked. Stopped by the same dealer, and he made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Love my 2012 Gunmetal Touring Sport. Have 12000 miles on it and three track events
