Vehicle Description
1978 DATSUN 280Z BLACK PEARL LIMITED EDITION for sale. Motorcar
Classics is proud to present this very rare and collectible 1978
Datsun 280Z. To honor the tenth anniversary of the Z-Car series,
and to determine if the color black should be added to the Z-car
model line colors, Datsun made a limited run called the Black Pearl
Edition. Like the car we feature, some of these Black Pearl
Editions came with a Sports Appearance Package that included the
following options: Black Pearl Metallic Paint Paint Code 638, Red
amp; Silver Accent Stripes On:Body-side, Hood, Hatch, Headlight
Scoops, Rear Window Sunshade, Dual Racing Mirrors.It is reported
that at least one Black Pearl Edition with the "Sports Appearance
Package" was sent to each Authorized Datsun Dealer in 1978, with
the larger volume Dealers receiving more than one. Thus at least
850 Black Pearl Editions were manufactured. The cars were so
successful that in 1979 with the introduction of the 280ZX Datsun
featured their all Black 280ZX's in their "Black Gold" advertising
campaign. Our car is stunningly correct right down to the proper
factory wheels. Our car has only 12,744 1-owner miles and has a
fresh show-quality repaint. It includes the optional AC and
automatic transmission. It is a delight to drive.
