I bought my ZX back on May 5, 2008. I found her sitting in my neighborhood when I was on my way to work one day, and I also happened to be looking for a RWD Nissan to go uber mad doriftoing in (hey, I was a n00b to the import scene still) and I decided I was going to talk to the owner the next day. So the next day I went back to the house, glanced at the car real quick, and went to the door. A little kid answers the door, so I ask him if his dad would be willing to sell the Z. He said "No." I started walking back to my car all bummed out because this was the last car I knew of that looked like she'd be in my price range. All of a sudden, the kid's dad opened the door and told me to come back! It was just like in the movies! haha So long story short, I ended up buying that blue 1979 Datsun 280ZX for $400, and the owner even towed her to my house!
This is what she looked like once we got her home:
Now for the fun part. The story behind the car is that the PO had planned to give this car to his son, but his son got a '05 V6 Mustang Convertible (LOL) instead. The car then sat in the same spot for over a year. He had also taken the head off to have it rebuilt, but he never got around to putting it back on, and that was my first project.
