Vehicle Description
1983 Datsun 280ZX 2+2 for sale! Motorcar Classics is proud to
present this beautiful, one-owner, 1983 Datsun 280ZX GL 2+2 coupe
featured in black with gold accent stripes and the premium leather
and ZX embossed suede interior in tan. This 280ZX was purchased by
its one and only owner in 1983 from Miller Datsun in Minneapolis,
MN. It has been cherished from new by an enthusiastic woman who
used it sparingly so that it has covered only 30,390 miles.
Continuous ownership is documented and receipts show substantial
recent servicing to assure that it drives and functions as good as
it looks. The GL package includes a full complement of luxury and
convenience features with the only options being the T-bar roof,
along with the original storage bags, and the digital instrument
cluster with audio voice alerts, both of which this car includes.
This ZX has had no rust, ever. It has never been damaged. The paint
is factory original. Period-appropriate matching sheepskin seat
covers have preserved the front seats in excellent condition. The
owner has shown the car in 1995 and 2017, both times earning
awards. In 1995 she had the privilege of meeting the man who is
known as the father of the Z-car, Yutaka Katayama, at which meeting
Mr Katayama ceremoniously autographed the right sun visor, which
has been removed from the car for the purpose. Photos of the event,
and the awards, are included. The car is powered by Datsuns 2.8L
inline 6 rated at 145HP mated to a user-friendly three speed
automatic transmission. This car was highly rated, in period, for
its balance of sports car performance with luxury touring amenities
and plenty of room. It remains a delight to drive today. With its
well-preserved condition, interesting history and provenance, this
car will bring its second owner pride and pleasure on the road, and
on the show field.
