Between '78 and '88 I used a '72 240z auto as my only car.

It only ran on Super and returned about 9.5L/100km normal driving and down to 8L/100km on a trip.

It had cold air-con and was a joy to drive.

 

Now I use an '82 280zx auto as my daily driver.

Running E10, I can get 10L/100km being careful, probably better if I ran Premium. Much better if it was a Manual.

Cold air-con, power steering, a joy to drive for the older me.

 

Yes, it's picked up a few bumps and scrapes in parking lots, but for a daily, you have to accept that .

If you really want to continue the DNA, why not a 280 or 300ZX, both are relatively cheap for what they are and offer a shit load more comfort than a 240/260. Keep the 240/260 for the weekend.

I looked at a 300zx last year, only $8k and would have brought it if the Owner didn't stuff me around with altered pricing.

(originally came with Road worthy then it didn't).

Not sure what you'd pick a 280zx for but it would have to be cheap......
