Vehicle Description
A cool two-tone exterior, T-tops, loaded A/C interior, and a
turbocharger on Datsun's legendary inline-six...This 1982 Datsun
280ZX Turbo is a well-kept classic with everything you want.
The first impression is both vintage and premium. After all, the
two-tone is an intricate and era-correct presentation where a
silver car has a distinct blue hood that also delicately flows into
the door panels. We believe this was applied within the last 5
years, and so you get a good shine of distinction without anything
getting too fancy to keep you from driving this Z-car. After all, a
vintage presentation like this is meant to be out there in the
world and turning heads. The shapely creased front end, offset naca
duct, clean glass, sport mirrors, and distinct four-spoke factory
alloys are all part of a stylishly detailed vintage
presentation.
The T-tops let you open this one up to the world, and the gray
cloth upholstery is both comfy and appreciated when the sun is
shining inside. It's a very stock style, and so you may find some
areas that have aged. But what you'll also appreciate are all the
classic details from the working door courtesy lights to the stock
AM/FM/cassette stereo. It all reminds you that these Z-cars were
moving into the luxury sports car category in this era. So this
also means you get a long list of desired features, including power
windows, full gauges, a rear defogger, and cold-blowing factory air
conditioning. This is a 2+2, and so there's a rear seat for
occasional use, but in a road-trip-ready classic like this, it's
also great for folding down and carrying extra luggage.
This car's smooth-revving, fuel-injected turbocharged 2.8-liter is
directly descended from the engines that powered the famous early
Z-cars. But when the Nissan engineers bolted a turbocharger to the
silky six, the performance comparisons started mentioning BMWs and
Porsches...yes, this car is quick. This is believed to have been
rebuilt about the same time as the repaint, and it has a
strong-running nature to reinforce this feeling. On the road, this
turbo Z has the sporty feeling of a fully independent suspension
and four-wheel power disc brakes. This is well-balanced with grand
touring features like a three-speed automatic transmission, power
steering, and cruise control.
This is the cool, clean, and turbocharged Japanese classic you've
been waiting for. So don't let it slip away, call today!
