When the 240Z came out I had such lust for that car. I had a small savings and a serious need of more reliable wheels. I sat down with my Dad, in our living room, I can still picture him looking at me over the top of the paper. I built my case for that beautiful car. Ferrari inspired styling cues, the well balanced chassis, a resale value that would surely be so strong that I was assured I would double my money in 10 years. I thought I had him. He asked, "How much?" "$2,400" "And How much do you have?" "$1,700" And with that he said, "You don't have enough." and he raised the paper back in front of his face, ending the conversation. 2 months later I had a brand new 1970 Fiat 850 coupe which was I believe $1,600.
