IMHU (U=understanding), the regulations in Japan almost force scrapping
of vehicles when they are a few years old, principly as a vehicle to drive the
economy (pardon the pun).
By administratively killing old cars, people have to buy new ones,
this makes for a healthy primary auto industry. [I would guess that it
also makes the second source and after market components of the auto
industry very tough.]
Having scrapped all their earlier cars long ago, any demand for
a real 240Z or similar decade(s) older model car would have to satisified by
outside sources.
