Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional
barn-fresh (garage really!) find of this rare southern California
1979 Datsun 280ZX 2.8L Fuel Injected 6 cylinder OHC Coupe with its
original and unique 'Atlas Yellow' color paint, reportedly original
42K miles and in the highly desirable rare 2 seat (not 2+2) coupe
body-style! The Datsun 280Z was built between the years 1978-83 and
was the latest incarnation of the 240/260Z with the 240Z having
been voted by 'Sports Car International' the number two car on the
list of the 'Top Sports Cars of the 1970's'! One of the most
appealing Japanese cars ever produced, unfortunately they have
largely disappeared from the roads almost entirely due to
insurmountable rust issues of all the Japanese cars of this era
making this southern California model all the more rare and unusual
in its rust free and mostly all original condition! The 260Z had a
longer stroke of 2.6L from its predecessors and and this particular
1979 280ZX example is the 2 seat coupe version without the T-Tops,
a notably different and more attractive roof-line from either the
T-Top or the less desirable 2+2 models. This is a beautiful stock
example with it's original engine with reportedly only 42K original
miles and with all of it's original factory specifications and
options intact including original 'Atlas Yellow' color paint and
black bucket seat interior! Owned since new by only obviously
mature and fastidious owners. The car has a razor straight body
with excellent paint and the car has obviously always been garaged
and the floor boards and trunk area are all remarkably completely
original and solid condition as one would hope to expect from an
always garaged southern California example. The car has it's
original factory interior which is also in remarkably good and
mostly original condition throughout apart from an after market CD
player. The engine is extremely strong and the 5 speed manual
transmission shifts smoothly through all the gears, a simply lovely
car to drive.This is a rare opportunity to own a very rare and
internationally desirable 1979 legendary Datsun 280ZX 2 seat coupe
model - owned by obviously only very mature southern California
driver/owner's since new and showing only 42K original miles with
the highly desirable 5 speed manual transmission - you will look
long and hard to find a finer example!
