Vehicle Description
Up for sale this week, Canyon State Classics brings to market a low
mileage, 1 owner, 1978 Datsun 280z in a hard to come by color
combination. This Z is a one owner car bought new in Arizona at
West Valley Datsun here in Phoenix AZ. This car is equipped the way
a true enthusiast would prefer with the L28 170hp 2.8l, inline 6
engine. The car has just over 80,000 original miles. Don't miss out
on your chance to own this rare Japanese legend!!
The following is a list of options as this 280z is currently
equipped:
- 2.8l Fuel Injected Inline 6 Cylinder
- 4 Speed Manual Transmission
- All Black Interior
- Functional Concord AM/FM Cassette Radio
- Factory Functional AC
- Upgraded American Racing Chrome Wheels w/ New Tires
This Z's classic factory code 306 Metallic Silver ($90 dealer
option) paint is is in great driver condition and was just fully
redone before being buffed and hand waxed. The body on the car is
laser straight! The car is arrow straight and shows no evidence of
being in an accident and has been inspected top to bottom and does
not show any rust. All the typical areas that are popular rust
spots like the dog legs, wheel wells, strut mounts and hatch have
been inspected and look straight and original with no a single pea
sized bubble ANYWHERE! All the lights and indicators work as they
should as well. The car is riding on recently upgraded American
Racing chrome wheels that really add to the sportiness of this
coupe. They are all in great shape and wrapped in fresh radial
tires.
The beautiful black interior is very clean and looks amazing for
being 40 years old. The sport seats hold you in place during
spirited driving yet are comfortable enough to take a road trip in.
The seats are cleanly complimented by the sporty, driver oriented
set up throughout. The comfortable seats were in great shape with
no tares or ware in the foam. The steering wheel, radio, and
everything else is original to the car. Everything works in the
car. Lights, gauges, radio, seats, windows, locks, a/c blows,
etc.The car will also include its original manual and keys.
Mechanically, this Datsun is in great condition and runs and drives
great. It has very healthy and very quick. Datsun bored out their
L26 inline six to up the displacement and created the 2.8l inline
six L28. This car boasts 170bhp! The inline 6 makes quite a bit of
power and runs very well. This car runs exactly like one would
expect a 80k mile car to. Compression was checked while the car was
being tuned up and shows 150lb compression across the board.
This car is ready to go! The exterior of this Coupe is stunning in
Silver over Black Vinyl interior and is definitely the rarest color
combination for the 280z. This car is an excellent value and is a
lot of car for the money, and with these low miles...you cant go
wrong! You will be hard pressed to find another Datsun Z as well
preserved as this one for well under $20k.
