Datsun (now called Nissan) was the first Japanese company to introduce affordable sports cars to the U.S. market. Today, some of the cars from the '60s and '70s are being sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.

    Consider a 1500, 1600 or 2000 roadster. First introduced in 1962, these cars owed a lot to the English sports cars but were not plagued with the reliability (read electrical) problems. These cars bowed out in 1970 to make room for the legendary 240Z.

    Look for a 240Z if you want the ultimate Japanese sports car. This car was wildly popular upon its debut in 1970. It was built until 1974, when it became the 260Z, which many people consider the beginning of the end for the Z car.

    Find a 510. Called the poor man's 2002, this great, boxy little sedan was built from 1968 to 1973. They're rare, but they're still out there.
