Vehicle Description
The 1975 Datsun 280Z is a cool and appreciating Japanese classic.
But this one also adds a ton of custom attitude with a performance
upgrade that includes a 383 stroker V8, overdrive transmission, and
a custom look that instantly announces this one is something extra
special.
A nice shade of burgundy and a nice metallic element love to draw
extra attention to this special coupe. But that's far from the only
custom touch. This has a sporty and sleek front end with a custom
front bumper package that looks like it came straight off a
racetrack. There's a similar style out back where the protruding
factory rear bumper has been replaced by a sleeker color-matched
unit with plenty of speedy style. And the wheels have not only been
upgraded to 15-inch units, but they have the polished look of
performance. The idea on this total package is to give you that
classic Z-car look while also announcing this one is something
extra special.
The interior retains a lot of the classic Z pieces that most of us
love. The high-back front bucket seats have a very stock feel,
right down to the European-style venting. The Z has the
occasional-use rear seat that also folds flat for extra cargo
space. The center stack still has the factory air conditioning
controls (will need components and servicing to return the
function) and the stereo is now an AM/FM/CD unit with Bluetooth.
You get the classic Datsun three-spoke sported steering wheel, and
beyond that are the deeply recessed speedo and tach in their own
individual pods. The B&M floor shifter and AutoMeter Sport-Comp
auxiliary gauges are an instant signal of something special under
the hood.
There's nothing Japanese about the engine bay. That's the
unmistakable appearance of an American V8. And it has the hardy
look, right down to those polished fabricated valve covers. This is
a 383 cubic-inch stroker motor that's built with go-fast goodies
like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, upgraded intake, and shorty
headers that add power while contributing to the rumble of the dual
exhaust. And this ultra-tidy engine bay also reveals nice
supporting components, like the ProComp wires and Griffin aluminum
radiator w/electric fan. It's a fully detailed package, right down
to the work light that's still mounted to the inner fender. The V8
upgrade is paired with a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission
that's built to handle the extra torque as well as provide
overdrive comfort. The reason why you use a Z-car for an upgrade
like this is because you get to take full advantage of its
sharp-handling fully-independent suspension. Plus, there's power
steering, power brakes, front discs, and modern BE Goodrich gForce
tries.
Complete with owner's manual, this is the custom Z-car that's
distinct, powerful, and absolutely cool. So don't let this deal
slip away. Call now!
