Aww Skib, that's the response he said everyone would have. And he was so friendly... he only mentioned secret government conspiracy theories three or four times but not once did he mention alien abductions.

Hey 541, thanks for the link. I just called the # and talked to the now former owner for over an hour. He sold the car to a guy named Don who lives in San Francisco area. Interesting factoid: Datsun ran out of engine blocks in '79 and didn't have enough to cover orders. They substituted Mercedes blocks to fill the order, but ONLY put that engine in the Citrus Green models since there was a smaller demand for that particular color. Not all of the Citrus Greens have a Benz motor (mine does NOT), but the one 541 posted supposedly did, the former owner tells me.

You know, the rarity and the ballsiness of the color really grows on you. I'm serious! I've gotten such an attitude around high-end frou-frou cars in my area, and only an unaltered Porsche 356 humbled me. When I drive my Honda Oddyssey, it's like being invisible. Did I happen to mention I'd trade it for a light colored Goldwing? I've had a recurring dream about a light colored Goldwing.

So there's one on the West Coast (possibly the Midori?) and mine on the East Coast. Could an upset of this delicate balance be what the Mayans had in mind? The factory colors were Citrus outside and Black inside, so maybe there's a clone running around.

Why can't I find any other Citrus Green 280 ZXs on the net? http://charlottesville.craigslist.org/cto/3234004855.html For that matter, why can't I figure out how to post a photo right here (X)?
