I think you just sold me on the anniversary edition. I love dark grey cars... so glad they finally have that color. I've been Z'less for going on 2 years and I may have a large cash stream coming my way soon, hopefully to bring my love back.

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice photos! Congratulations on the 40th edition and having the original Datsun 240Z. Those are the current bookends to some exciting history!

Yummy color. Will it be a magnet for swirls? Congrats on your new and old Z.

ZPirate · 03-15-2010, 09:52 AM

Wow! Very nice pair of Zs.

One from the first year and one from the 40th year (a 40th Anniversary too). How cool is that!

Very nice man!

Those are some of the best photos of the 40th Ed. I've seen yet.

It's hard to capture the Quartz Black color; in some lighting conditions the "purple" comes out too strong, in others (showroom) it looks silver. These look just right!

Such a nice looking comparison! I love both of them! Good job on those photos and thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the comments everyone.

I love the color and I am so glad I waited (I was pretty tempted to buy an early 09!)

djpathfinder · 03-28-2010, 12:12 AM

That 240Z looks great! Love the 40th anniv 370Z too...as you can see.

Picked up the 40th anniversary edition this week and finally had a nice day and some time to take some pictures.

The 240Z is a 1970 (one of the first 500 Z cars ever made) VIN # HLS3000387.

Too many toys....but so much fun!

Hey man, your pictures are the main reason i got hte 40th.......back in April i was seconds away from purchasing a blue 370z and then I saw your pics and pulled the trigger on the 40th---OHH YEA

Yes the 40th Anniversary color is HOT! I wish I had waited just for the exterior color.

I would love to see a Nismo in the 40th Anniversary Quartz.
