What kind of car was thi back in the day?

Was it a collectors car,mom car, etc...

Answer 1

that's an old car, and probably something you wouldnt want as a first car.

Sporty, but those Datsuns rusted prematurely

Answer 2

Dave 87 is right. Finding one of those old Datsun's without serious rust problems would be rare.They were fairly quick and pretty reliable ( I've seen them have some electrical problems) Fair gas mileage.Back in the day and now they're pretty cool cars. Very collectible if no rust problems. Unless you have some extra cash to keep it together i don't think it would be a good choice as a first car.I really liked them, but a really nice one will cost a bundle to buy and maintain.Most mechanics today won't touch them.

Answer 3

im not familiar with the 240z, but on every 280z ive seen the frame has been severly rusted out. Also, most 280z ive seen have had 80mph speedometers, so that should give you some clues to how fast they are. I would not recommend a datsun to anyone

Answer 4

Is it a good teenage car? NO

Is it fast? NO

Realiable? DEFINATELY NOT

How's the gas mileage? AVERAGE

What kind of car was thi back in the day? THE SAME CAR IT IS NOW BUT LESS RUST
