Vehicle Description
A cool black/gold style, T-tops, loaded A/C interior, and a
turbocharger on Datsun's legendary inline-six...This 1981 Datsun
280ZX Turbo is a well-kept classic with everything you want.
The first impression is both vintage and premium. That's what black
with gold accenting is all about. The factory Thunder Black was
resprayed later in life to continue to have a good gloss. But it
also has the right aged-in appeal to make some people assume it's
original. That's especially true because the correct gold stripe
package is also quite intricate as it outlines the power bulge in
the hood and zooms down the sides. And this gold accenting goes so
well with the factory 15-inch wheels. All the panels and gaps fit
together with the precision-engineered feeling we expect from a
Japanese sports car. But sometimes the most beautiful parts are the
asymmetrical ones, such as the NACA hood scoop.
The tan leather interior has a high degree of originality. The
280ZX Turbo was not only quick but also comfortable. This means a
long list of desirable features, including power windows, power
rear defogger, and cruise control. The stereo is the factory
premium AM/FM/cassette model. There are so many adapters out there
for modern music players that we think it would be a shame to spoil
this unique atmosphere by replacing this very original integrated
sound system. The car has a very original feel, right down to the
working courtesy lights. So while you may use the ale rive for some
touch-ups or a cover for the front seat, there is an overall appeal
of a car that looks this complete 40 years later. Of course, don't
think we forgot about the T-tops! These are like magnets constantly
attracting you to take out the glass and go for a wind-in-your-hair
drive. Plus, thanks to air conditioning, it's even easier to cruise
with the roof out even on a hot summer's day.
This car's fuel-injected turbocharged 2.8-liter motor is directly
descended from the engines that powered the famous early Z-cars.
But when the Nissan engineers bolted a turbocharger to the silky
smooth six, the performance comparisons started mentioning BMWs and
Porsches...yes, this car is quick. This is believed to be the
original motor, and the whole car has averaged under 2,400 miles
annually. On the road, this turbo Z has the perfect balance of a
sporty suspension, while at the same time offers comfort features
like a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and
four-wheel disc brakes.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, maintenance
records, build receipts, and even the T-top storage bags. A
complete turbo Z like this is the kind of opportunity that doesn't
come around very often, so call today!
