  • Arthur Dailey Due to the ease of parts and the comparative lack of complexity, this might be an excellent 'project' to provide a student/young adult with a vehicle that stands out in the parking lot. Rather than adding 'go fast' options put in basic and robust mechanical components and it might be a decent 'runner'?

There is no way a Z, even a NISMO, is worth $84,000 before taxes and fees. I guess if you're in the Kentuckiana area, and have a need for a Z, get the Performance model and the small discount.

And I'm sure everyone reading this can check their hometown Nissan dealers and see the same thing.

Is that a locking ashtray or the glove box in the centre of the dash/instrument panel? And where are the 'vents' for airflow/AC? Are they still located in the footwells? I deeply appreciate the exterior styling of these vehicles, but the interiors are still almost at a pre-war level.
