HISTORY OF THE 280ZX- -
The Datsun 240Z was a game changer when in debuted in late 1969. Reliable, fast, and a bargain, the Z instantly redefined what a sports car could be. For British and Italian competition, it was like the comet that killed the dinosaurs. Like anything else, however, all good things must come to an end and by the late 1970s the original concept was beginning to run its course. The 280Z was essentially a 240Z with big impact bumpers and fuel injection. Datsun needed something newer and flashier.
Enter the Datsun 280ZX in 1978. Sports car purists who watched the Brock Racing Enterprises (BRE) Datsuns clean up were horrified. The ZX was a GT for the disco era with two-tone paints, T-tops, velour seats, and fancy stereos. It was certainly softer and less sporting, but it filled a niche well and like the 260Z and 280Z was available in a 2+2 body, which the ZX seemed to fill out better than the previous cars. Ironically, the 280ZX was raced successfully too in some cases by actor Paul Newman.
With added weight, performance predictably suffered. In order to deal with this, Nissan offered a turbocharger option starting in 1981 that raised power output from about 140 hp to 180 hp. Brakes and suspension were subsequently improved in 1982 making the last two model years of the turbo the most performance oriented of the 280ZX.
Car’s History---
Bought from on elderly man who is currently my neighbor; he bought this car went it first came out. He held on to this car ever since 83’ which he then took care of it but unfortunately had to sell to help his granddaughter buy a new car. He has always kept this Z in his garage and of course used a car cover. Because of our Hawaii weather there are couple rust spots (nothing major and a little body work wont fix). There is also minor dings and dents of course, because of its age. Minor damage in the front of the hood and the back garnish license plate area (which does not affect the performance of the car). On the front windshield there is a small chip at the driver side top corner and hatch struts do not work. Oil changed every 3000 miles using Mobile 1. Idle is smooth but because of the age of this car, a tune up is recommended (couple of my mechanic buddies at Nissan said it may be running rich). Overall a great car, rides nice, no leaks, all gauges work, shifts are smooth. Will also come with extra parts bought – Clutch slave, Master brake cylinder, Brake pads, Oil filters.
