looks like some sort of old Z, anyway...RX-7s don't have quarter windows, and you can see the rounded areas where the headlights used to be.

280Z 2+2

I used to own one, but not nearly that ugly!

Ditto. Here's the proof.

Mine was a two seat coupe and relatively pretty.

I'd say 280zx with 90% certainty. Looks totally 733t, btw.

'Tis a 240Z, for sure. Here's one that showed up at a local meet last month:



I like it a lot better (although I'd lose the plastic trim and headlight covers).

It's not a 240z, it's a 280zx 2+2 as mentioned earlier, you can tell by the roof line since the 2+2 had a raised rear section to help fit the rear passengers.

PS. I love Bosozoku, shame on all you who don't know anything about it!

I hate to be negative but that's the ugliest "Mary Kay" car I've ever seen.
