I have owned this vehicle for the last 5or so years and i believe its time to let her go. I am very limited on timeand the datsun just does not get the attention it deserves. The vehicle justspends 95 percent of its days sitting at home looking pretty and is lucky to bedriven to work once a month. She is very solid with no rust she starts right upevery time time! She runs excellent and all gears go in properly without grinds. Car has a one of a kind front fiberglass bumper that replaced the big metalfront one. Rear bumper has also been shaved and makes it look very slick, paintis obviously not original. Engine is the fuel injected l28e connected to the 5speed manual transmission. Interior is in good shape in exception of thedashboard which has several cracks on it. All glass is in excellent shape withno cracks and both windows roll up/down car is slightly lowered on eibach sportsprings which gives it an aggressive look. Car has no leaks nor does it smoke. Suspension is also very responsive and feels very solid. Vehicle is a real headturner and gets complimented every time i drive it.

1978 Datsun 280z 29k Miles, 2 Owner, 5spd

hatchback 29,585 gasoline grey

Vehicle description:click the video tab. There is a thorough walkthrough. 1978 datsun 280z 29,585 mile survivor 2. 8l l28e & 5-speed manual 2 owner – p. What we know: this car has been in the midwest since new; it was sold new at russ darrow in wisconsin, then remained with the original owner in wisconsin until 1994, when it was then sold to a gentleman in illinois. Earlier this year we purchased the car from him. He stored the car under a cover in his 2-car garage, and drove it sparingly throughout the 1990s, before parking the car indefinitely in the early 2000s. Since taking possession of the car, we have gone through it in its entirety to get the car back to its former glory; this car is now mechanically well-sorted, and in outstanding cosmetic condition. Buff, polish, and wax exterior. We love datsun zs around here, and have had a few of them. We find this car so interesting because the last z we had was an early 240z, a bare-bones, minimalist car. This one is the polar opposite; this car was optioned with just about everything. The sunroof was dealer-installed, and this car has rear and side louvers, air conditioning, cruise control, mudflaps, body-colored door trim, wheel well trim, passenger mirror…. It sure seems as though every available option was opted for when this car was ordered new. The exterior: wine red metallic paint is original everywhere except for the hood and very top of the front fenders, as confirmed with an elcometer. Paint gauge readings show 3. 5-3. 8 all around, with the aforementioned areas reading 6. 2-7. 0, which would indicate a respray. Wine red metallic is a gorgeous color in person, and suits the car perfectly. Metallic sparkle is nice and subtle. There are very few blemishes or signs of age; blemishes include a handful of small chips that have been touched up and are barely visible. One of these chips is on the passenger’s side of the hood, and there are a couple more tiny chips along the rearward driver’s door crease. There is also a visible shadow on the rear deck lid, left by the russ darrow dealer sticker that the car was originally sold with. All chrome is in excellent shape; the big impact-bumpers present as-new, with no scrapes, discoloring, oxidation, or anything of the sort. Weatherstripping is in fantastic shape, as is all window and wheel-well trim. Hubcaps are as-new, and tires are brand new coopers. There are no dents or dings on this car and absolutely no rust bubbles or corrosion on the body panels, this car is bone-dry and the body is in excellent shape. The interior: while we love how this car looks from the outside, the interior is the real highlight of the car. It’s a true time-capsule. Black seats are leather with cloth inserts, and are in extremely close to new condition. On both driver and passenger sides there are no scrapes, scratches, creases, or signs of wear at all. Even the driver’s outer bolster is free of scuffing. Original wheel is in great shape, dashboard is perfect. No discoloring, cracking, or damage. All gauges are functional, as are all powered systems. This includes r12 air conditioning, fan, heat, front and rear defrost, power antennae, original hitachi radio, cruise control, wipers, all dash lights, fog lights, analog clock, lights and signals. Shift knob shows no wear. All glass and lights are clear and crack-free. Sills show no damage and shine bright. Odometer reads 29,585 and is accurate and functional. Overall, the interior is in extremely impressive shape throughout. Under the hood / under the car: the underbody is in great shape. With the exception of some very light surface rust, primarily on the exhaust, the underbody shows no rust or damage. Floors and frame rails are rock solid. There is no corrosion whatsoever, not even on the inside of the lower corners of the rocker panels. This car is phenomenally well preserved and retains all of its original metal. The car is very clean under the hood as well, with no dry, cracked hoses or anything of the sort. On the road, the car feels excellent. It truly feels like a new 280z. It starts right up first turn, idles cool and steady, stops great, tracks dead straight under both acceleration and braking, and is actually pretty quick. While the handling is part of what makes these cars so enjoyable to drive, it is not at the expense of ride quality. This car is very forgiving, and can handle chicago’s pothole-ridden streets without any fuss at all. Sound deadening is quite good, this car is nice and quiet at speed. Pedal feel and clutch grab are exactly as they should be, and make this car very easy to drive well. Shifts are smooth and quick. There are absolutely no tendencies or noises of concern; this is a very well-sorted, 29k mile car.
