Motor Trend Classic

Not sure if anyone has seen this on the news stand, but there is a small article on FBs & SAs in there. I would scan and attached it but I don't have the equipment, and all my searches for the article bring up null. Just a FYI......interesting to seem them gauge the value.

Anyone see the January issue of Car and Driver? On page 36, there is an article about the 10 Cars that Surprised the C/D Editors. The 85 GSL-SE is there. Nice article - small, but very flattering.

You dudes weren't talking about THIS volume of Motor Trend Classic were you?



The Mitty is on the May 1 weekend and it's about 20 curvy country miles from my house.

I think I'll be going.

I second everyone to go get the January 2011 issue of Car & Driver. It is a very short blurb but with poetry that would bring any rotorhead to tears. I won't post it until the Feburary issue hits the stands but here's part of the last sentence:

" ... on a cool night when the world oppresses the spirit, this RX-7 revives the soul."

I always like those 10best issues from C&D. I think I'll grab it next time I'm at the store.

Thanks GOTPAM?, and so true. The 240/260/280Z and the Fb were such great cars with true racing pedigree at a time in North America when cars where at their nadir. It will take years to erase those bad memories before nostalgia kicks in and prices rise accordingly.

yup no problem, sorry it took so long. They actually had a 3 page spread on the 240Z, sorta of a buyers guide almost.
