Dave Scholz’s friends tell him he’s lucky when it comes to acquiring Datsun Z-cars, and it’s easy to see why. Not one, but two classic 240Zs have wandered into his life with minimal effort on Dave’s part—and for very little cash.

Aaahh, I know this has been around for a while, but it's a new article to me. I thought I recognized this car from a Petrolicious video--one of my faves--and it turns out to be the same car.

LOL!
