Datsun Z-Series 280ZX (1980)
for sale

Price: US $7,000.00

Description:

1980 280ZX GL purchased from original owner in '05. Beautiful inside and out. The radio did not work when I bought it, so I replaced with a piece of aluminum plate and fitted a Sony stereo and the power antenna switch into the original slot. Also, I had to charge the A/C when I got it and over the past years, it has leaked down. I haven't recharged it since I'm very 'protective' of what R12 I have left. You can convert it if you would like. I have put approximately 25K on it since I purchased it, and would not hesitate to drive it back in Oregon if need be. He put the tires on it for me since he knew I would be driving it 3000 miles back home and while not bad, they might be a concern (if driving to Oregon). The tread is still decent, but they are almost 10 years old. The ONLY issues I am aware of would be two rust spots (see pic) at the bottom edge of the windshield. As you can see, I removed the paint and coated with Rustoleum to prevent farther damage. Unless you stand right over the car, you won't see the spots. There are the 'normal' rock pecks and such from traveling. Only one at the left headlight assembly that I consider mentioning (see pic). The left rear interior corner material has pulled (see pic). Very normal for these cars. While not perfect, I would have to give this an 8 or 9 out of 10 in overall condition. It never fails to crank and NEVER fails to turn heads!
I am not a dealer. I am a collector and need space. I hate to let it go, but must.
The car is for sale locally, so sale might end unannounced. I DO NOT SELL INTERNATIONALLY. I WILL NOT SHIP this auto. You are more than welcome to have it picked up at your expense or come to my home and drive it, tow it, trailer it to your home.
If you have any questions about the car, please ask. Also I am selling AS-IS. I have been driving it for the past couple of weeks before I have to part with it, so do your research and ask before purchasing or bidding.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my Z
1/20/15 - - - Just went out to the shop to work and decided to warm up the Z... Clock did NOT light up like normal. I refuse to 'bang' the dash since I have no cracks in it and simply turned the car off immediately. When I cranked it back up the clock DID light up like normal. Problem??? First time for clock to not come on immediately. Just wanted to let you know. Thanks for looking.
