<div> <font>I bought my 280Z new in 1978 for $8500
(included dealer installed AC). I bought it because one
of my friends got a 260Z while I was still in school and
I thought it was cool. Another friend bought a TR6 new
the year before and that's what I decided I wanted to
buy when I graduated but by the time I finished school
the TR6 was gone and it was the first year for the TR7.
Went and looked at a new TR7 but was not impressed so I
bought the Z.<br>

<div>They were about $3200 going up to over $5000 for
the 74 260Z. Plus you had to wait 6 to 12 months for
delivery. Rust in the pressed frame rails was a real
problem. Ran circles around a TR6.</div>

<div> <font>Obviously a tweeked engine and
aftermarket exhaust. Sounds sweet.<br>
<br>
The first new car I ever bought, right after
I got out of college, was a 1978 280Z. By
then they had gotten heavy, went to fuel
injection and had the big bumpers but it was
still a very sweet ride. Loved that car.
I don't see many first gen Z cars anymore
(at least here in Iowa) but everytime I do I
have to take a closer look and go back into
the time machine of my youth.<br>
