Gateway Classic Cars of Charlotte is proud to digitally present
this 1977 Datsun 280Z.The 280Z was the second update of the
original 240Z. The most notable changes included a 2.8-liter
electronic fuel-injection engine, an updated interior, a bigger gas
tank, and different taillights. The updated interior 280Z is a very
nice upgrade over the 240Z, along with the L28 motor. The
fuel-injection system is a Bosch L-Jetronic system seen on Alfa
Romeos, BMWs, Fiats, and Lancias.The real solution to emission laws
came with the introduction of the fuel-injected 280Z in 1975. The
addition of a license-built Bosch L-Jetronic injection to the
inline six-cylinder engine, plus a displacement increase of 200
ccs, returned the Z car to roughly 1970 levels of
performance.However, the 280Z is much closer to the original 240
than most people realize, and it's undoubtedly a more sporting car
than the 280ZX of 1979, with which it often needs clarification.
Aside from the big bumpers, the coupe is a direct descendant of the
240Z, with little change in the interior except for a fully
integrated and effective air conditioner which replaced the
original Z's dealer-installed piece. The electronic fuel injection
makes cold starts a snap and offers enjoyable drivability. Any Z is
a mechanically simple and robust car with good parts availability
and a lot of fun to drive. Of the 420,000 Z cars imported to the
United States, 203,275 were 280Z cars - not counting the 2+2
version.
