S130 magazine article/ads list?

Just wondering if anyone had a list of what Road & Track, Car & Driver, etc that the S130 (or any of the Z cars by chasis for that matter) appears in as an article or advertisement? Anyone? Beuler?

I grabbed a super street at the gas station on the way to work, and at the back they had a three page article on Rocky Auto's S30Z.

No real advertising tho =/

And I thought the only Z I'd fall in love with was my own... (Don't tell her tho)



I do love Datsun's commercial of the 280zx, where the Z is just chilling on a rock, with no physical means of it having got there...

I have the Madonna Playboy (circa 1980-something) and inside is a fold out ad of the 280zx and the "AWESOME" split between the fold outs. It's a 4 page fold out ad, if I remember right.

I'd use that as ammo when the chick at work says her Scion is a better car than mine.. but I really don't care what a Scion owner thinks.

Isn't that what Scion was made to compete with? Hyundai and Kia?

Madonna issue was 09/85 - seems a little old to have a 280ZX add in it...
