Vehicle Description
Among the myriad categories of performance vehicles, one of the all
time favorites is what is affectionately known as the sleeper. A
sleeper is a car (or truck) that is much more than what it looks
like at first glance. Often the vehicle will be as non-descript as
a taxicab, but it packs a punch under the hood. This 1975 Datsun
280Z takes the sleeper concept to another level. It's bright red
paint and sporty looks invite a challenge, but there's much more
here than meets the eye. 280Zs were and are popular cars with many
fans due to their clean sporty lines and spritely performing 6
cylinder engines. But this one is packing a built 350 Chevy. Sure,
that's been done before, but the engineering, workmanship, and
appearance of this build is truly outstanding. The engine
compartment has been painted and detailed. The engine is
resplendent with Billet Specialties valve covers and air cleaner
for a modern, professional appearance. The underhood presentation
is top shelf all the way. But with engines, as you know, it's the
hardware that counts. This one has been done up with Edelbrock
Performer aluminum heads, an EPS Performer intake, and Edelbrock
4-barrel carb. An MSD ignition lights the fire and the exhaust
exits via Hooker ceramic coated headers through custom pipes and
Flowmaster mufflers. You can count on 400 eager horses to be at
your beck and call at any time. The 700R4 automatic provides
reliable performance and consistency in a straight line, with a
shift kit giving you authoritative shifts and extra control for
track work, autocross, or spirited street performance. The third
member is an R200. For handling, the suspension has been restored
with new components where necessary. No true performance package is
complete without the right braking system, so this Z has power disc
brakes all the way around. Custom bucket seats with red stitching
and adjustable bolsters are really comfortable and look great. A
MOMO steering wheel also looks great and gives you the ultimate in
control and feel. Air conditioning and a custom sound system keep
you comfortably entertained. The high quality of the build is
certainly evident outside. You'll notice the fit and finish is
excellent throughout and the paint is smooth and shiny. Subtle
touches like LED headlights, custom molded rear bumper and spoiler
kick it up a notch visually. You'll know as soon as you fire it up
that this 1975 Datsun 280Z is indeed something special in terms of
looks, performance, and quality craftsmanship inside and out. Get
it now. Before it gets you.
