Garage
While in high school, a friend's dad had an orange (1970/71?) 240 that was in excellent condition and basically lived in the garage. Really liked the wood shift knob/steering wheel. It was even super clean under the hood. The owner was a lawyer and I have no doubt he paid top dollar to have his car expertly maintained. In fact I remember my friend had to run the car around here and there to various shops. Incidently, the father restored and rebuilt old clocks for a hobby and they had all kinds of amazing ones all over their house. Over 30 years later, I'd be willing to bet that if the father is still alive he still owns that car, really.

When I first got into my FR-S the general seating position and outside view through the windows, seeing the protruding rear fenders immediately made me think this was a modern day 240Z. Even the pointed side rear window, a cue from the Toyota 2000 GT hints of the 240Z.
