Vehicle Description
This 1977 Datsun 280Z is the definitive Japanese classic sports car
you love with a ton of investments to make it both a comfortable
driver and a show-stopper. So dig into to all the details, because
this is the coupe that has been done exactly the way you want.
The 280Z did come in silver, but you know it never had the deep
tones you see on this one. That's because this Z car has had a full
professional respray in 2015. That custom color cost nearly $13k,
and it's all part of a serious investment in this car that happened
only a few years ago. And it all continues to look spectacular
today because this one has been treated with the right respect.
Complementing this sleek paintwork is a custom appearance that
comes from the well-integrated competition-style front end, and the
expertly deleted rear bumper leaves everything butter-smooth. It's
all part of another $8k invested in keeping this 280Z fresh and
distinct. But as much as this is a custom look, it does not betray
the original spirit that made this a legend. You can see it on
everything from classic sports car silhouette, right down to the
factory badging. In fact, this enhanced classic appearance is tied
together perfectly on the wheels. After all, we all know the look
of those classic 15-inch four-spoke units, but now they are
polished to a mirror-like shine.
The interior will have familiar feelings to anyone who's been in a
Z-car before, but just like the exterior, there have been all the
right investments to keep it fresh and comfortable. It starts with
the bucket seats that follow a similar silhouette to the originals,
but now they have been re-finished in a fresh and supple leather.
It's part of over $4,300 spent on restoring the interior. That also
means the fundamentals feel great, like on the door panels, dash,
carpeting, and armrest center console. This has the right comfort
features like AM/FM/CD stereo w/Bluetooth for the best in modern
tunes and provisions for R134a air conditioning. Best of all, the
wood and chrome setup on the steering wheel and gearstick feel like
two beacons in this crisp and dark interior that are calling out
for your hands.
Datsun's fuel-injected 2.8-liter motor already has a great
reputation for being both powerful and dependable. It only gets
better with one look at the engine bay, and you know there has been
a lot of time and money invested in this Z-car. During the
restoration there was about $6,700 spent on the motor alone. It
includes new injectors, fuel rail, manifold, aluminum radiator, and
cold air intake. You have complete control over this with a
five-speed manual transmission that was also upgraded with an S1
clutch and 12-lb flywheel. Power steering, front disc brakes, and a
fully-independent suspension already gave the 280Z a terrific
sports car reputation, and that's only enhanced by a $2,400
investment in upgrading the suspension components.
This one has everything you want in first-generation Z - classic
looks, modern unique touches, and a ton of investments. It even
comes with a lager receipt file so you can see all the upgrades.
