My dad originally got this a few months ago from a friend who gave it as a gift/ he kind of owed my dad some money but it was more of a token of grattitude. It is pretty restored, runs great, AC believe it or not works, completely bone stock except the Tokico blues i replaced inturn of the blown shocks... has new tires, radiator etc but amazingly the car retained only 56k miles and is actually the 10th anniversary is a limited production of the 1980 Datsun 280Z with a plaque 772 out of only 3000 made which came in either a 2tone color like ours or i believe black or burgundy. It was garaged kept for most of its life by some old grandma who gave it to her son in law who gave it to my dad.... it would make a good project car where you could throw in an RB or Sr20det motor but the mileage and condition of the car is pretty much almost flawless or great condition considering the fact it is over 26 years old, original paint and no cracks in the leather seats etc
- inner roof lining needs to be repaired
- oxidation of paint on rear hatch
- muffler piping leak which im going to fix probably this weekend

only reason we are selling it because we have 6 cars for our 2 car garage house, no room

thanks
$5500 obo

 

soon to be collector's item if it isn't already since the 10th anniversary was limited production with only 3000 made

 

sweet car.. i'd buy it if i had the cash

 

Not bad for a 26 year old car....

 

Wow. Cool car

 

Seriously, i smell an investment.

 

you should EBAY IT

 

dammm.....dats 1 saweet ride! i wish i hav the extra dough now

 

8 track player FTW!!!

 

believe it or not i thought its a tape deck haha i thought it was an 8 track at first

 

i would ebay it but honestly i tried ebaying my Supra too many flakers which wasted my time i did see a 1983 one with like 31 bids with 79k miles @ $5k wanted to give my Z fellas dibbs before i start posting it out autotrader and maybe ebay...

thanks though i might probably in a week if its not sold on here

 

problem with autotrader you get way to many Spam phone calls for companies "offering to sell your car for you"

 

yeah your're right good looking out

 

theres some many damn salvages on there from dealers

 

I would contact the local (so cal) Z clubs (the ones with the old farts) and see if you can list it in their mail outs.

like these guys
ZCSD

Im actually a member with them if you would like me to list it on their site for you.

 

cool ima check em out bro good looking out again

 

Wow -- I've been bitten by the nostalgia bug: my father, who passed away last year, used to race the early Zs back in the day.

Any pics of the oxidation? any signs of rust in the wheel wells? How bad is the T-Top leak?

 

Pretty clean for how old it is man. I could just picture ur *** driving that thing!

 

I remember my uncle had one that has a 2+2 seater. Remember he paid something like 13k for it when it was new.
