Classic Cars of Sarasota is proud to present this 1977 Datsun 280Z,
a classic Japanese sports car that represents the final and most
refined evolution of the legendary first-generation S30 Z-car.
Finished in Light Brown Metallic with a Brown interior, this 280Z
combines timeless sports-car styling with the mechanical upgrades
and drivability improvements that made the later S30 models so
desirable.
Power comes from Datsun's proven 2.8-liter inline-six, producing
149 horsepower through Bosch L-Jetronic electronic fuel injection.
The engine is paired with a desirable 5-speed manual transmission,
giving this Z the engaging driving experience enthusiasts expect
from a classic sports car. Air conditioning, power-assisted front
disc brakes, and a comfortable bucket-seat interior make it equally
enjoyable for weekend cruising.
The 280Z's styling reflects the original Z-car design language,
with long flowing lines, a long hood, short rear deck, and
unmistakable sports-car proportions. The S30 was heavily influenced
by European sports cars such as the Jaguar E-Type and Porsche 911,
while Datsun engineered the Z for a combination of performance,
reliability, and everyday usability.
This example received a restoration in 2006 and has recently
benefited from new brakes and new tires, making it an appealing
classic driver. With its 5-speed transmission, fuel-injected
inline-six, sunroof, and iconic S30 styling, this 280Z offers an
excellent blend of vintage character and usable performance.
