A collector’s dream!

The Datsun 280ZX launched in 1979 and was the introduction for second generation of Nissan “Z Car.” A more refined version of the previous models, the ZX featured upgraded suspension and steering. While the previous Z Cars focused on more of a performance experience the ZX dialed up driver comfort with a high end audio system and more comfortable seating. The 280ZX was also the first Datsun to feature the Nissan subscript on the badging and was a successful rally car with several being raced by legendary drivers such as Paul Newman. Today the Z Cars are noted with really bringing the fascination of the Japanese sports car to American car culture and original examples are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts across the globe. 

The 1982 Datsun 280ZX Coupe featured here is finished in gorgeous Regatta Red with an impeccably kept original grey interior. This magnificent motorcar is most likely the finest example that can be found on the market today. It was just released from the private collection of the famous Peterson Automotive Museum in Southern California where it has remained since it’s original owner donated it to the museum after over 30 years of ownership.
