Vehicle Description
T-tops, five-speed, low-mileage, and one-family owned - this 1982
Datsun 280ZX already has an attractive performance classic car
pedigree... and that's before you dig into the ideal mix of
preservation and restoration on this loaded coupe.
The factory-correct Dark Brown Metallic represents the era so well.
With a full respray, it has a great luster to make it absolutely
attractive in modern times. Plus, this Z-car gets its details right
with the full pin striping package that highlights the power bulge
in the hood and the kick-up in the rear fender. And those factory
alloys with the gold inserts do a great job of standing out while
blending in with the total package. We are really beginning to
appreciate how sporty these second-gen Z-cars look with their
sharper edge profile and dual NACA scoops in the hood. This one
does it particularly well, because it has been under the care of
the same family all its life, and it has averaged less than 1,900
miles annually.
Open the door to a terrific pair of bucket seats. This is the
optional leather and suede package, and low mileage means it still
looks great. The sports steering wheel gives you a clear view to
the large speedo and tach, so this is a great place for grand
touring comfort. A sports car like this came with plenty of factory
options like power windows, power locks, alarm system, cruise
control, and AM/FM/cassette stereo. Everything works, right down to
the Z-car's iconic tri-pod gauges in the middle of the dash. The
T-tops even still have their factory storage bags. Since the air
conditioning is still blowing nice and cold, feel free to take the
roof panels out all summer long!
The fuel-injected 2.8-liter motor is what will make it so hard to
resist adding extra miles to the low odometer. This original engine
is one of the legendary smooth and rev-happy motors that helped
establish Datsun/Nissan as an exciting brand of cars. It looks like
there's a lot going on under the hood, but the SOHC inline-six is
easy to spot and makes a wonderful baritone exhaust note that's a
big part of this Z's allure. The good care means the motor is in
outstanding condition, and all the factory stickers and markings
seem to still be in place. If you do to choose to enjoy this 280ZX
on the road, you'll be rewarded with the perfect harmony of the
five-speed manual transmission, fully independent suspension, and
four-wheel disc brakes.
Complete with owner's manual and service manuals, this coupe is
looking for a new family to cherish it. Will it be you? Call
