Vehicle Description
The survivor label can sometime be used loosely, so make sure that
you read the full info to understand just how truly preserved this
1982 Datsun 280ZX really is. It has only been in the care of one
family, and there is a huge document file on this respected classic
to goes back all the way to its first tank of gas! So while you
love these Z-cars for features like the five-speed, T-tops,
four-wheel disc brakes, and fuel-injected motor, this is also a
two-tone survivor/stunner with a story to tell.
Datsun was going upscale with the Z in this era, and the paint
package here was really proving it. The two-tone medium blue and
platinum is expertly intertwined. In fact, blue and silver
pinstriping are used effectively to draw added addition to elements
like the power bulge in the hood and sporty curve of the profile.
Not only do the records show that this car was born with this
interesting color package, but also we believe this to be highly
original. So it's a solid presentation that you proudly get to talk
about its survivor heritage. The way a coupe like this remains so
well preserved is because it has stayed in the same family. The
consignor bought it off his niece (the original owner) about 20
years ago. In fact, this was sold only about an hour from our
showroom and is believed to be a local car all its life. The
well-respected attitude is seen over every inch. It's everywhere
from the sporty slats of the rear window, to the way the doors
close with the same authority as a new car. And those classic
factory alloys give off a terrific shine.
The interior continues the two-tone style and its highly original
presentation. It's a true premium machine with features like the
leather bucket seats, power windows, cruise control, power
steering, and AM/FM/cassette stereo. It's built to be a true sports
car with tri-pod gauges high on top of the dash, a well-positioned
stick shift, the grippy steering wheel that gives you a clear view
to the large speedo and tach. We know you love those T-tops.
They're easy to take out and secure thanks to details like the
correct storage bags. And because the factory air conditioning is
now blowing cold with R134a, it's easy to enjoy the open-air
feeling of this 280ZX - even in the summertime!
The fuel-injected 2.8-liter motor is the heart of this Z-car's
appeal as a driver's machine. We even have a $4k receipt proving
this original motor was fully rebuilt in 2002. So while you'll like
the tidy setup and upgraded polished valve covers, what you'll
really love is how this feels on the road. The inline-six has a
legendary smooth operation, and the five-speed manual transmission
lets you take full control of its rev-happy nature. Plus, the
four-wheel power disc brakes and fully independent sports
suspension work in harmony to deliver an awesome experience behind
the wheel.
The sale comes complete with terrific paperwork, like the original
window sticker, bill of sale, owner's manual, service manuals, and
a long maintenance record. This is a one-family (two-owner)
two-tone Datsun of true classic distinction. So if you love the
rapidly appreciating Japanese classics, this one really is a true
vintage showcase. Call now!
