EXPORT NO PROBLEM!
This is a really interesting and cool 1978 Custom 280Z in very nice condition all around!! This is an original West Coast low mileage Z that I purchased from an artist. He spent 100's of hours and lots of money customizing this car... see last 2 pics! I got it and didnt love the look but didnt have the heart to just paint over his work so I had the car dip wrapped with a material that can be easily removed if desired. The car turned out awesome!!... it looks runs and drives great with a nice blend of his work and my desired look! I will of course include his custom bumpers etc if desired. The miles are said to be original and backed up by the title. Unmolested and well maintained drivetrain and suspension. Has nice details and could be awesome weekend cruiser, daily driver, or addition to any collection.
The body has no rust or collision damage that I can see. It was body worked to fill holes and smooth things but no major damage that I can detect. There are some imperfections and blemishes but overall presents beautifully. Has some mild custom touches... I love the look!! Passanger door opens with a custom mechanism... easily removed but its unique and kinda cool. I do have a set of fender flares and airdam that I was considering installing along with some jdm style custom seats but I like it as it is so maybe not. If it doesnt sell this week I may install those and raise the price accordingly. Frame, floors, and chassis are super solid!! New bronze 15 inch rims with nice tires. It's not a trailer queen... it's a driver! Get's tons of looks and compliments everywhere we roll.
The interior is custom as well... panels, and dash have custom touches... carpet was replaced by custom rubberized matting. Seats are later model cloth Nissan... they are comfortable and in good shape.. they have multiple adjustments and nice support... they are blue and gray. I was going to have them dyed brown or black or replace with the racing seats so for now theyre just covered. Gauges, lights, and electronics all work properly, except the clock (of course lol) Nice aftermarket stereo and speakers.
L28 motor starts idles and runs fantastic... sounds great through custom exhaust.. (I dont like the muffler placement so I'm having the redone this week.) 5 speed Trans shifts smooth and strong through the gears. Suspension is tight and provides excellent ride... brakes stop straight and sure. Strong, powerful, and reliable... freshly serviced and tuned... ready to roll. . definite daily driver capable.
Overall this is a really cool Classic Z in great condition all around. Fun history and options. I am a Z collector. This one makes an Awesome Weekend Cruiser, daily driver, or whatever you like. Great for any enthusiast, collector, or anyone looking for a cool and unique Vintage sports car at a great price.
The car is located in Beverly Hills California... Inspections are welcome and encouraged... serious buyers can call me at 310 850 8980 but no tire kickers please. I'm open to interesting trades (within ebay guidelines) but no projects or junk please.
