Vehicle Description
A terrific color combo, sleek style, fuel-injected motor, and an
A/C interior - this 1980 Datsun 280ZX already has an attractive
list of everything you want in a great cruising classic... and
that's before you dig into the ideal mix of preservation and style
on this loaded coupe.
The factory-correct Alpine White is a great color that still looks
good in modern times. It shows all the right signs of being the
original application, and there is a shiny and smooth style that
knows how to impress. And the straightness of the panels gives the
paint a great canvas and shows that this coupe has led a
well-respected life so far. In fact, you'll see a feeling of
originality throughout this car in key components that could
suggest (although unproven) a true survivor. It has the right look
for those who appreciate a true classic. The clean bumper
highlights the sharper edge front of the second-gen Z-car, the
fastback rear is one of the purest designs ever, and the classic
hubcaps have a unique design we rarely see. It all makes for a
stock icon in a time capsule-like form.
If you were attracted to the touch of red in the pinstriping, then
you're going to love to open the door to the full red interior. And
just like the exterior, this is stock, clean, and exceptionally
presented. Datsun started to really understand what grand touring
comfort meant when designing the ZX. That means high-back bucket
seats that hug your body, an armrest center console, an interior
that feels nicely plush, and a sports steering wheel engineered to
give you a clear view of the full gauge package. And the level of
preservation and care means you'll love this one down to the
details, like how the radio is still the Datsun stock AM/FM unit
and the full dome light package is working - including the
under-dash lights. And while you have the stock air conditioning
control, it has now been upgraded to modern R134a refrigerant.
The engine bay has a cool sense of style. It takes red cues from
the pinstripe and interior to upgrade details like the air cleaner
housing. But this need for red also has a practical side with
upgraded plug wires and an Optima red-top battery. Plus, the
shining newer radiator goes well with the rest of the tidy
components. But overall, you'll also notice a detailed stock
appearance where even the inspection light is still mounted to the
inner fender. At the heart of it all is the 2.8-liter motor. This
is one of the most desirable powerhouses around because the
inline-six has an inherent smoothness, and the ZX had fuel
injection to make it both sporty and consistent. So this classic
coupe has an easy feeling that will make you think about driving it
every day. And this one really has a fully built package that makes
it relaxed yet sharp for any time driving. This includes the fully
independent suspension, power steering, three-speed automatic
transmission, and four-wheel power disc brakes.
Complete with the owner's manual, you have a beautifully stock
example of a rapidly appreciating classic. So if you're looking for
an authentic classic car feeling on a coupe you can both cherish
and drive, you know this is the one. Call today!!!
