On Thursday we try a new mod the Datsun 240ZG with a trip around Limerock mountain. The Datsun was Officially launched in 1969 and known as the Fairlady 240Z in Japan it was suggested on the launch of the car that for the export models they drop the “Fairlady” name, the thinking being that it was not the appropriate image for a muscular sports car, so most of the world knows it as the Datsun 240Z. It has been called the most successful sports car of all time. It was the car that many car enthusiasts had been waiting for and thought they should have had by then that is, a GT car with a large displacement engine, fully independent suspension; disk brakes with a good enough build and trim quality that it could be used everyday, at a price a normal person could afford. Nissan sold 1000s of them. Details of the event can be found
