GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this highly original, 2 Owner
1979 Datsun 280 ZX for consideration. This car was purchased new at
Roberts Imports, Inc right here in Grand Rapids, MI on June 4 1979
and remained with the original owner until a few months ago where
it was purchased and titled by the second owner and recently
acquired by us. The car remains highly original including all
original interior, original paint, original wheels, original
engine, transmission etc. The car was originally purchased as a
second car and was never driven in the winter and hardly driven in
the rain and the condition original condition of the car verifies
this and is a testament to the car it has received throughout its
existence.
Highlights include power steering, power brakes, power windows,
cold ac, bucket seats, console, 2 seat configuration, etc. The
interior is in excellent original condition throughout, the seat
material is free from tears, the dash is near perfect, the gauges
all work, the panel upholstery is excellent and of course it shows
some slight patina as it is 40 years old. The same can be said for
the exterior paint. Overall, it shows lots of life, shows
consistent care, but there are some chips and patina in expected
areas. The engine bay is outstanding original as well as the
underside.
The car is powered by its health L28 2.8 liter inline 6, desirable
5 speed manual transmission and rear wheel drive. This car flat out
drives awesome, pulls strong in all gears, tight suspension and
brakes straight.
