My first car is a 72 240z (I'm 17, got it when I was 16) and its lots of fun to drive. I found mine in really good shape with low-rust and running good for $1600. If you've got around 4k to spend you could do alot with the z. I don't drive my z daily anymore although I used to, I've got a 95 maxima as my daily, fun car, just wish it was rwd. One of my friends has a 325is and loves it, so I would recommend either one. If you pick the z, make sure to check it out VERY thouroghly (sp?) I hope I helped.
