West Coast Classics are proud to presents a quite exceptional
barn-fresh (garage really!) find of this rare 1983 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 last year 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 1983 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 including its original Red factory color paint and
with its original Light Gray 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 example.The car has it's original factory interior
which is also in remarkably good and original condition and the
engine is extremely strong with the automatic transmission shifting
smoothly through all the gears, a simply lovely car to drive. Fully
serviced in recently years at 'Bennett Automotive Services' of
Thousand Oaks, CA where the car received a full recent service at
89,900 miles in 2025.This is a rare opportunity to own a very rare
and internationally desirable 1983 legendary Datsun 280ZX 2 seat
coupe model - owned by obviously only very mature and careful
driver/owner's since new!
