1983 Datsun 280ZX. This car is not 100% original but it was
lovingly and tastefully updated by the previous owner and turns
heads everywhere it goes. I can't tell you how many compliments I
get in this car. It has new tires and other new stuff that I don't
recall, but I have recent receipts for everything. The previous
owner gave it new upholstery and new paint, plus updated all of the
original badges with gold-toned ones. It even has a gold-tipped
exhaust pipe. This is truly a one-of-a-kind 280ZX. And don't
forget... T-tops! The car is in great shape both cosmetically and
mechanically. It has a 3-speed automatic transmission and low miles
for it's age. Currently registered with Collector Vehicle plates.
I've taken it on roadtrips to Spokane and Oregon with absolutely no
issues. Would easily take it on a long roadtrip tomorrow without
hesitation. I've basically been using it as a daily driver for the
past 6-months. There is one small area with some visible rust (see
photos) but no other trouble areas than I am aware of. The only
known issue that will need attention sooner than later is a 4-inch
crack in the windshield just below where the passenger-side wiper
blade rests. Also, the heat and defrost both work but the AC
doesn't. The engine originally came from a 1981 280ZX and was
pulled from the original car at around 115k miles. I have the
speedometer/odometer gauge from the original vehicle - documenting
the mileage - which I will include with sale (as well as the
original stereo). I also have all of the repair & maintenance
documentation from the previous owner dating back to 2010-ish which
I will gladly include as well. Based on the dates of these
documents I've concluded that he drove it very little during the
first 18-months following the engine replacement - I'm guessing
between 1k to 3k miles max - before it was sold to me with an
odometer reading of almost 118k miles. Therefore, it appears that
the current engine and the current body were coincidentally
