I picked up a 76 280Z earlier in the year. It's in really great shape and the stock 2.8L engine runs strong. Same with the interior. It's not a factory standard color, but I like it. My plan for now is just to clean it up, go with bigger 16" panasports, maybe a new exhaust header, maaaaybe swap the 4speed for a 5, otherwise keep the little things from turning into big things, and enjoy it for what it is.

I had a ‘78 Z. That thing was so much faster than an 18 year old me should have been trusted with. Hit 130+ a couple times because I was an idiot back then.  You could spin the tires a second time with the shift from 1st to 2nd.  
I’ve been digging the new ones that have brought that classic shape back around.  They don’t get the best reviews but I’d own one just for the nostalgia.

Just for a bit of perspective, a 2018 Buick Regal Sportback would blow the doors off it 0-60, 5.6 vs. 8.0.

A 2025 Chevy Malibu with a 1.5L four would run neck and neck with it.
