Alright, I have a 1978 Datsun 280Z 2+2.

It's rotted badly, but it runs, and needs a shit ton of chassis/body work.

But I love it.

I mean I picked it up for 250$ and put another 200 into it to get it running (which the previous owner couldn't do) so I'm into it for short money, and really have no problem continuing on with it, because I love old cars, especially Zs, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ITS 2/2 OR NOT.

However, I grew up on musclecars and old skool cars, and I'm really really wanting one.

Hell I almost bought a 1964 Dodge Polara 4 door with a 318 V8 a couple years ago.

I'm to the point now where I can dump a shitload of money into the Datsun, but even after all is said and done, the car really doesnt have mcuh longer to live I think, MAYBE another year or two.

I dunno. I just want an old car other than my beetle, Datsun or otherwise.

So, do I sell the datsun for like 500$ and move one, or do I dig my feet in for the long haul with it and try to keep it among the driven?

and please don't base your decision soley on the fact it's a 2/2, cause it's still a Z.
