Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely barn-fresh
(garage really!) find of this rare original southern California
owner 1981 Datsun 280ZX GL 2+2 Coupe with its original 2.8L 6
cylinder engine with 50K original miles, desirable 5 speed manual
transmission, T-Bar Roof with sunshade windshield, air
conditioning, original cloth velour seats, AM/FM stereo/cassette,
alloy wheels with 'Z' inserts, power assisted 4 wheel disc brakes,
power steering, power windows amp; cruise control! The Datsun 280ZX
was built between the years 1979-83 and was the latest incarnation
of the 240Z (1970-73), the 260Z (1974), the 280Z (1975-78), with
the initial 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, the
later 280ZX model which was built until 1983 had a longer stroke of
2.8L from its predecessors. This is a rare all original and stock
example with it's original engine and with all of it's original
factory specifications and options intact! Always primarily
serviced at either Nissan dealerships or 'Z' specialists since new
with original sales documentation from it's original southern
California owners who purchased the car at 'Miller Imports, Inc',
the Datsun dealership of Van Nuys, CA on 2/19/1981. The car had
been garaged parked for several years until we purchased it and got
it running again. The car has been well cared but does have some
cosmetic imperfections from use over the years. There are some very
minor paint chips and scratches etc and we would consider the car a
very good running project for either the 'Z' enthusiast to restore
further or simply a fun driver for anyone else as it is. It has a
new clutch and starter motor and all the fluids and oils have been
changed. The car has a straight body with very nice paint and no
signs of any major accidents or bondo. The car has it's original
factory cloth/velour interior which is also in remarkably good and
original condition throughout. The engine is extremely strong and
the 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 1981 legendary Datsun 280ZX, - owned
by obviously only very mature southern California family owners
since new and with only 50K original miles with the highly
desirable 5 speed manual transmission!
