I sure do miss the 80's. Just look at all those adjustments on the stereo. I bet a cassette tape never sounded so good, maybe some Jackson Brown or Tom Petty.

Wait, 80s, Tom Petty and Jackson Brown. You sure sound like my dad. Scary.

Hey, we didn’t have phones to distract us back then so we needed to do something . Messing with the stereo was the best we could do, short of a CB radio.

Love the dash on my 88 300zx. So uncluttered. Though the previous owner did replace the stock radio with a CD player (w/aux jack). I still have mixed feelings about it. Wish the original was there, but glad I can use CDs and plug my phone in. Also, this is one beautiful 280, but way overpriced.

I see circles. Not 80's.

It’s a fun mash up of 70's and 80's though. “Shit, we need to update, but we can’t afford a new dash design.”

Seriously back in the mid 90's you could have bought this exact car used for about $3,500 at most.

My old Z31 had the same dash effectively. Trying to fit a decent stereo was a nightmare with that irregular hole. But I miss those tunnel gauges like nothing else. Those things were on every Z except the Z32, which was very modern inside but also fairly plain.
