For Sale: 1978 Datsun 280ZX in Torrance, California

West Coast Classics are proud to presents a quite exceptional barn-fresh (garage really!) find of this rare original southern California owners 1978 Datsun 280ZX 2.8L Fuel Injected 6 cylinder OHC Coupe in the highly desirable rare 2 seat (not 2+2) coupe body-style! The Datsun 280Z was built between the years 1978-83 and was the latest incarnation of the 240/260Z with the 240Z having been voted by 'Sports Car International' the number two car on the list of the 'Top Sports Cars of the 1970's'! One of the most appealing Japanese cars ever produced, unfortunately they have largely disappeared from the roads almost entirely due to insurmountable rust issues of all the Japanese cars of this era making this southern California model all the more rare and unusual in its rust free and mostly all original condition!The 260Z had a longer stroke of 2.6L from its predecessors and and this particular 1978 280ZX example is the 2 seat coupe version without the T-Tops, a notably different and more attractive roof-line from either the T-Top or the less desirable 2+2 models. This is a beautiful stock example with it's original engine and with all of it's original factory specifications and options intact except for one repaint in Blue from its original Burgundy factory color paint and with its original black bucket seat interior! The car has a razor straight body and the car has obviously always been garaged and the floor boards and trunk area are all remarkably completely original and solid condition as one would hope to expect from an always garaged original southern California owners example.The car has it's original factory interior which is also in remarkably good and mostly original condition and the engine is extremely strong and the 5 speed manual transmission shifts smoothly through all the gears, a simply lovely car to drive.This is a rare opportunity to own a very rare and internationally desirable 1978 legendary Datsun 280ZX 2 seat coupe model - owned by obviously only very mature southern California driver/owner's since new and with the highly desirable 5 speed manual transmission!
