Datsun Z-Series (1982)
for sale

Price: US $510.00

Description:

Over the years I have owned quite a few classic sports cars and none has garnered the attention that I receive when I take this Z out for Sunday drives. I get thumbs up and compliments everywhere I go. It has been a pleasure owning and enjoying but it is now to pass her on to to someone who will appreciate this beauty.
I would like to start off by saying that this car is fully documented, maintenance history dating back to the original owner will be included along with the original dealer invoice, both sets of keys, manuals, and extras that I have accumulated such as clear headlight covers that I never got around to install.
The Z was purchased new in 1982 from Carbone Pontiac Plaza in Syracuse NY. It is the rare slicktop model that I find more desirable than the t-top version that was prone to leaks and rattles.
Upon delivery, the owners had the undercarriage completely rust-shield sprayed by Centurion and the certificate of that lifetime warranty is also included. The Z remained a garage kept vehicle in Syracuse NY until I purchased her last year and continues to be kept indoors.
Upon purchase, I had all fluids flushed. Next was a complete tune up, NGK wires and plugs, distributor cap and rotor. The timing was professionally adjusted, new fuel filter and K&N lifetime air filter. The Firestone tires have less than 1k miles on them. Please note that I also have a full size rim that goes with the car along with the factory spare.
Next, I replaced the clutch, throw-out bearing and flywheel with the OEM Exedy/Daiken parts. Complete job, no corners cut.
From not being driven much, she needed a new battery and because of low voltage readings I also decided to install a new Hitachi Alternator. Receipts for everything I have done will be included.
Everything under the hood is original and unmolested. Everything works as it should and there are no funny noises or rattles when driving this car on the freeway.
The engine is very responsive and the 5-speed trans shifts on a dime. This is a very very tight car and holds the road well. Straight as an arrow.
The AC system was revamped and is ICE cold. Most are surprised at how well it works along with the cruise control that also works as it should.
Sometime in the early 2000's the previous owner decided to swap out the original radio for an Alpine CD player and also installed 2 pioneer speakers in the rear storage compartments as seen in the pic.
This isn't a $15k showroom example but surely a headturner that gets attention everywhere she goes. There are a few paint chips here and there but nothing that takes away from the beauty of the car. If you look at the dash pics, there is a hairline crack near the cluster and the passenger side of the dash by the speaker is also a crack.
There are no surprises here, this is a turn-key classic and I would be more than happy to answer your questions via eBay or call me directly at (201) 515-2476.
There are not many 280's out there. Here in the Northeast, rust free examples such as this are hard to find and a rare slicktop is even more difficult to get your hands on. The new owners will be very pleased with this purchase.
If you would like to make an offer, I can add a buy it now price so just call or text me at the above listed phone number.
There is no doubt in my mind that this car will make a cross country trip anywhere so if you would like to fly in and drive it home, (EWR) Newark International Airport is closest and with proper arrangements I can pick you up there. Should you wish to have a carrier transport it home, those arrangements would have to be made on your own but I will work with the company to facilitate pickup.
Thank you for looking at my car and feel free to contact/call me with any questions you may have. I encourage serious local buyers to come, inspect and take her for a drive. You will not be disappointed.
