condition MotoeXotica is pleased to introduce another amazing
Classic Datsun 280Z that is in amazing preserved condition. Yutaka
Katayama, father of the Z car, would be proud to own this
particular 280Z with its extensive documentation and history! This
early manufactured 280Z was sold brand new with only 135 miles on
the odometer on June 29,� 1978 from George Grubbs Datsun in Bedford
Texas. Recent professional respray of correct color,Wine Red
metallic (code 611) and still in new show quality condition. All of
the panels fit well. The doors open freely, do not sag and shut
without problem. �All the Chrome on the bumpers look great and also
include the rare original accessory bumper overrider bars. All the
aluminum trim is there, in great shape, dent free, including the
surrounding windshield. The chrome light bezels in the rear
taillights are excellent with no hazing or pitting. Matter of fact,
all the lenses and other lights are great shape, and defy showing�
their age. The wheels are a vintage set of 14 inch polished
aluminum wheels, wrapped in a nice set of 195/60-14 tires with deep
tread and even wear. The interior gets even better. The well
preserved Black vinyl interior seems to be the original as all the
textures and materials are correct. The seats, still retaining the
metal back breathers, looks as if normal wear and tear forgot about
them and moved on to a different car! The carpeting fits well for
an older car and shows no signs of shrinking, eroding or
discoloring. The headliner appears original The door panels are
clean, and the top sills are not dried out, torn or ripped from sun
exposure. The dashboard is completely crack free, which is unusual
for a vehicle of the era and is extremely telling on just how well
this Z was cared for by Ms. Corcoran. Nestled nicely in this
extremely tidy engine bay of this Datsun comes equipped with a
Bosch L-Jetronic injection 2.8L inline 6 cylinder number matching
engine, with all the Zinc pieces looking �factory fresh. Coupled
with a optional 5-speed manual transmission, rear wheel drive, 14
inch alloys with B.F. Goodrich tires, power brakes, air
conditioning, rear defroster and Jensen AM/FM cassette stereo. Also
included is the original owners manual, stamped service booklet,
and pre-delivery inspection. Probably nowhere in the country will
you find a more original 1978 Datsun Z as this Texas dry, one owner
example. With styling influenced from the seventies, this S30 will
delight even the most discerning Import collector or enthusiast.
Manual transmission 280Z's with factory AC are rare and it being a
2+2, you can travel along with the in-laws or kids in tow... GET
OUT AND DRIVE!!! Current mileage on the odometer reads 40,559. The
car is being sold as is on a clean & clear title. VIN: GHLS30118602
