Hey all, I wanted to post up a few pictures from a few weeks ago. I bought my 280zx in January after selling my 240sx a year before that. I never lost my soft spot for 240s though. So, when a guy right by me put his 240 up for sale, I thought it would be cool to take some pictures of our cars together and see the similarities/differences in Nissan's design in cars 10 years apart. These are the result. Hope you enjoy!

I love that whorehouse red interior! Is that an original working tape deck?

Glad you guys like them! I don't think the lights go down but I didn't ask either. PO did some janky electrical things to his car. It is an original tape deck, not sure about the "working" part of that though. I missed the cassette craze (I'm 18) so the only one I had was an Ipod converter tape and the deck kept trying to reverse the tape. The interior is startlingly red haha but it does grow on you.
