1979 Datsun Nissan 280zx 2 seater 5 spd
a/c cruise one owner 107k mi.
5 speed (79 is the first year a 5 speed manual was available,
and this is the last year for no catalytic converters)
you will be purchasing the car from the original owner,
only 107k miles,
2 seater.
This is a nice solid car. I am listing
this for my brother who is the original and current owner of the car.
He purchased it new in 1979, and has taken exceptional care of it
ever since. It has had a recent re-paint, and is excellent, (I
have pictures of the 35 year old paint before the repaint). The the
interior is excellent, only significant issues are the dash has 2
small cracks. It has a new carpet, and I have pictures of the solid
and original floor pans.
The wheels are excellent (the original
wheel locks come with the car, they were not on when the photos where
taken.) Tires are ok, but it could use some new shoes. All gauges
work, including the very cool monitoring system (it checks lights, and fluid levels). The A/C was converted to 134a a while back, and
works fine. The cruise works about 50% of the time ( I think the
cable to the actuator is a bit sticky, and causes it to switch off).
Overall the car starts, stops, and rides great. Good power, does not
use oil or smoke. Motor, and transmission have never been opened or
modified. Suspension, and exhaust maintained to original
specifications. Transmission and clutch are excellent. (new clutch at
about 80kmi.). The stereo has been modified for an external input, and 2 box speakers added to rear hatch area. (original speakers, and
covers are included.) Rear defogger doesn't work, and it needs a new
power antenna.
If you want a nice solid unmolested 2
seat, 5 spd. Z car, with excellent options at a reasonable price, this is it.
Car is located in Pittsburgh PA.
(This is being relisted because the bidder accidentally did a buy it now. I've removed that option.)
