This is a 1978 Datsun 280Z fully restored only 2, 000 miles  ago. The cars exterior is Lamborghini Nero Pegasso with black perforated  leather seats and black interior door panels with perforated accents. As you  can see by the pictures, the car is fully restored and has taken home Best  Classic Nissan at Hot Import Nights Dallas 2016 and Best Old School at Import  Face Off 2015. The car has a CLEAN TITLE, is clean inside and out, and runs and  drives great. This car is a show car, but the V8 under the hood sounds and  performs wonderfully. I have owned twin turbo vipers, 911, and a GTR and this  car gets the most compliments out of all of them by far. I am inactive on the  Datsun forums, but my seller feedback can be found on ViperAlley and GTRLife  under the user name 'Hyph'.
I purchased this car in November of 2013 with the V8 already  swapped with a new Goodwrench Chevrolet crate engine. Since then, the car has been in numerous shops being restored to its  current condition. Initially, the car started as a fun project and soon grew  into a full restoration. No shortcuts were taken in the restoration of the  body. All dents were removed, the interior was stripped out and the car checked  for rust (Rust Free). The fender mirrors were imported from Japan and unlike  the numerous cheap plastic knock off versions you see so often, these are the  OEM metal mirrors from Japan. The fenders flares are riveted to the body with  enough space to allow for a taller tire if the next owner wishes. My vision for  this car was to create a restored Datsun which had was drivable and comfortable  enough to take on long trips. While the car has no A/C, it does have heated  seats, power doors, and windows as well as a full JL sound system. I also had Dynamat  installed on the interior of the car to assist with sound and heat reduction in  the interior. The car has been protected with a Sun Tek Clear bra and the rear  quarter and windshield have been replaced and tinted with 3M tint. The car  originally came with a TH350 3 speed transmission, but due to the short  gearing, I opted to upgrade to a TCI 700R4 4 speed transmission which has no  problem reaching higher speeds due to the overdrive. The previous owner had  swapped in a R180 Differential, but I swapped it out to a stronger R200 open  differential.
The suspension on this car has also been completely swapped  out with the best parts available (Techno Toy Tuning). The car has a fully  adjustable suspension (control arms, camber plates, and coilovers) and can be  used for road racing if desired. The car has never been tracked though, as I  didn't have the heart to expose it to such harsh conditions after completing  the restoration.
Although this car is near perfect, there are some small  issues which I would like to explain. First, the car has no A/C which was  removed by the previous owner when the V8 swap was performed. In addition,  there is one small paint defect on the driver side door (which I have pictured)  and there are a few spots in the interior which have had been over sprayed by  the previous owned in the original orange paint. The car does have a slow leak  from the main seal (typical of chevy 350's) which shouldn't be a surprise to  any classic car owner. While these are minor issues, I like to give full  exposure when selling a car so there are no surprises. All turn signals and  lights work as well as the windshield wipers.
The car has no issues with over heating or any other  mechanical problems. The new carburetor was recently tuned by True Street  Motorsports and made around 260hp/300tq. The engine can be easily upgraded to  support more power, but I ultimately was going to swap in an LS or RB so  focused more on reliability.
As expected, the car is always garage kept and detailed with  show quality materials. It has never seen an automatic car wash since my  ownership.
All body work was done at Pro Auto Collusion in Garland  Texas, Texas Audio Customs in Garland Texas, and True Street Motorsports in  McKinney Texas.
Please don't hesitate to contact me to ask any questions at  all. I am available to show the car in the DFW Metroplex.
