1978 Datsun 280z 2+2 - 2.8L Inline 6 Cylinder - 5 Speed Manual
Transmission - 47k Miles - Light Blue Paint Over Black Interior -
Enkei Wheels (Please note: If you happen to be viewing this vehicle
on a website other than our main website, it's possible that only
some of our many photographs of this car are presented due to
website limitations. To be sure you access all the photographs,
please go to our main website: Garage Kept Motors.) Offered here is
an extremely clean and garage-kept 1978 Datsun 280ZX 2-Door Coupe.
The car has been maintained locally for many years and it's now
time for a new home. It is powered by the original 2.8L Inline
6-Cylinder motor mated to a 5-Speed Manual gearbox with RWD. As the
240Z market continues to climb, we feel the late 280ZX Datsuns are
the next collector cars, and you won't get much more collectible
than this. The Z's silhouette is unmistakable. Fastback body style,
long hood, sugar scoop headlight buckets, simple bumper treatment -
it's a thing of beauty. This Z car is finished in the factory
original color of Light Blue Metallic paint, which looks great
thanks to a recent repaint. This car is extremely clean, as you can
see in our photos. The underside photos are something to see, very
clean and rust free under this car from the body to the suspension
components. This Z has another trick up its sleeve - it's a 2+2.
That's right, you can squeeze two more people in this car, maybe
your children who want to partake in the fun of a Japanese classic!
The interior is classic Z: driver focused, and comfortable. It fits
like a glove once you're seated and ready for a drive. It is in
great condition with highlights being; three spoke steering wheel,
leather covered sport seats, original AM/FM Radio, tachometer,
speedometer and 3 openings in the dash housing auxiliary gauges.
The interior is in great condition, which goes right along with the
great condition of the exterior. Under the forward canting hood, is
a 2.8L inline-6 mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. To maintain
a connected driving experience, the car does not have power
steering. It's light enough that this is not an issue, but pair the
5-speed, rear wheel drive setup, and the lack of power steering and
you're sure to have an awesome driving experience. Modern versions
of the classic Enkei 92 wheels are wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza
tires, which provide grip when pushing this Z to it's limits. This
is truly a fine example of one of Japan's most recognizable sports
cars. The Datsun Z became legend with the 240 and this example will
surely be the next one to climb in value. Be sure to check out all
the photos and video on our main website: Garage Kept Motors. Call
