1980 Datsun 280zx 10th Anniversary
We have sold several Z cars here in Ebay over the yrs for customers and here is one more, robably the rarest of them all . IN 1980 Datsun only built 3000 25th Anniversary cars total this is 1 of 3000 and out of the 3000, nly 500 came in this Red & Black combo this is 1 of 500, ut of the 500 only a handful came with an auto... this is 1 of those handful ...still left on the planet, ..rust FREE !!! THIS IS # 1384 out of 3000 to be exact. WE Market our vehicles I think BETTER then anyone else's on ebay. The most HONEST PICS available and description. Ive seen other sellers ads and pics, nd I find it hard to believe people even bid on some cars . UP FOR AUCTION: this is what we know about the car below. SUPER LOW FAIR RESERVE !!! BRIEF DESCRIPTION: we got the car basically how you see it... its mostly all original and stock with aprox 99k ORIGINAL miles. The paint is 100% original the best we can tell and other then the dent on the RF fender, he body is really clean. Rust bubbles visible at the bottom of the front windshield and top front edge. If this is typical for cars back east, ts not around here. Im really surprised there is evidence of mild rust there, ut it is. If an AZ car gets this, cant imagine how bad it would be on a car from back east. Check out the pics below of everywhere on the car, p, nder etc !! Its really fun to drive because its a Z car, ut its not been driven much in the last few yrs. I keep fresh gas in it, nd it starts all the time on the first try, ut when its cold, t runs rough. Once warmed up, t runs better but theres still a miss and still doesnt have the power it should. My guess maybe a bad injector, ut not 100% sure. The motor doesnt knock or smoke at all. Its not going to win any awards at the next car show, ut it ALWAYS draws a crowd around it when I take it to local events or even up to the store, eople want to come up and talk to me about it. There is a good chance this car may be sent back to JAPAN and if you need help getting it back there, e can at least help get it to the shipping docks in Long Beach or LA CALIF area. for a fair price. Getting it across the pond is up to the Winner if thats where its going.
DRIVETRAIN: the best I can tell it could be the original drivetrain, posted pics below of the engine but its hard to see the #s on the side of the block. Id almost bet its the original motor etc. It is an EFI car of course, ut not running 100%. The auto trans feels good too. Tires are in nice shape too. When its cold, t starts up right away but idles rough. After it warms up it gets better, ut its not 100% running the way it should be. Could be a clogged or bad injector or maybe air vane meter ? Havent had it diagnosed yet. The motor has no knocks or problems like that and no smoke coming from the exhaust. If it doesnt sell now, ll fix the "miss" in the motor and relist it fixed. Ive driven it across town nevertheless and its made it to the store etc and back whenever I take it out. If it was an injector, was hoping it would clear itself up. INTERIOR: not too bad of shape for its age. It comes with the glove box door and panel under it. Most of the gauges work etc, ut cant say they all do, nd not sure about the radio. I havent driven it that much. Has PW but the dr side isnt going up lately. Overall for its age, ot bad to be honest.
EXTERIOR: the car looks great in pics and actually really nice too in person. Dent on the RF fender, ut its 100% all original paint and decals the best we can see and knowing the cars history. Window tint is showing its age. All the exterior lites etc work too. Some of the rubber and vinyl thru out the car are getting old and dry. Mild rust around the front edge of the windshield, ee pics. UNDER the car I also see no signs of any previous major accidents or damage.. floorboards look great and the car is as solid as you can probably get for a car this old. I could see NO RUST anywhere under the car, ut thats not uncommon for an AZ car like this thats been in a garage most of its life and never seen snow.
SUSPENSION: basically bone stock suspension the best I can tell Im sure most of the bushings are dry out, ut being a minimal rust car it would come apart easier then a rust bucket and making the repairs and restoration in its future again, ore attractive. Car handles great and tires also in pretty good shape.Car rides smoother then I expected to e honest but no weird noises for an older car. Shocks are prob original as its pretty soft driving around. Brakes feel normal and good.
