Very cool find!! Going by memory I have great memories of the 70's Z, from my teens.
However, side by side two strong feelings jump out:
1) Man, that new car is huge!

2) Man, that new car is sweet looking compared to the oldie!

3) Man, they've made improvements in paint science over the last 30 years.

Slightly OT, but after looking at the 240/370 shots I gotta say, is there ANY color the 370z doesn't look good in???

the slanted roofline and angled front window... the side and quarter windows also have an almost exactly similar shape.

What the hell is "almost exactly similar"?

Quoted for the Truth!!! I have yet to see a color that looks bad on Z. I though yellow looked okay, then Stillens exhaust video proved me wrong. Great color selection by Nissan!

I agree. Nissan did a very good job with color selection for this car. The car, however, can't make all colors look good, and I cringe at picturing it in that metallic orange the 350 debuted in.
