Description of 1978 Datsun Z-Series 280Z |
I bought this car in November of 2015. Seems like i have been working on it the whole time i have had it. There has been a lot of work done by both myself and the previous owner. This Z is a very nice, solid, rust free driver. I will list the work below. Skinny Chrome Bumper Conversion. New Radiator and hoses. Six New Fuel Injectors. New Brake Master Cylinder, Pads up front. All Fluids Changed. New Cap, Rotor, Wires and Spark Plugs. New Cold Air Intake. New Fuel Filter. OE PCV Valve. New Door Seals. New Quarter Window Seals. New Rear Hatch Seals, Both. New Tail Light Seals. Replace Dome Light with New OE. Replace Map Light With OE. Repair and Clean Seat Belt Retractors. New Speaker Enclosures with Nice 6x9's. New Body Badges. Clay Bar Paint, Polish, Three Coats of Wax. Lots of Detailing and Cleaning. DONE BY PREVIOUS OWNER' New Driver Quality Paint Job. Not a five footer more like a two. Nice but some flaws. Totally presentable ready to show at the local meet. New Interior including Headliner, Seat Covers, Carpet and Z Floor Mats. Has Nice Door Panels, but not new. Lowered Suspension New Aftermarket Wheels, New Tires. New Battery. New Starter. Kenwood KDC-152 Stereo With MP3, WMA and Aux Input. Engine, transmission, clutch, brakes operate as they should. Everything works with the exception of the clock and power antenna. The AC blows nice and cold. I justdiscovered that the Z will need a new muffler. There is a leak from the oil pan gasket, also the rear transmission seal has a small leak. After being driven I get a couple drops on oil. Neither one of these issues are an emergency and can be done later. I will include and OE pan gasket and transmission seal. None of these jobs are major work and like I said can be done later. I was planning to do a 2 1/2" exhaust from the stock manifold back. I am includingthe 2 1/2"downpipe should the new owner decide to do the exhaust. The sale includes the items pictured, center armrest, Original Air Filter and Box, OE oil filter, some misc. parts and lots of receipts. Jack, tools, spare and inflator, original owners manual included. I havent gotten to drive this car as much as I would have liked to. Our summers are shorter than I would like, and the winter here is cold and snowy. I have only driven the Z locally and not very far. The miles on the OD are not verifiable, but judging by the rust free and solid condition its possible they are original miles. I bought the car in the Los Angeles area. The car is a blue plate California car last registered in 2016. Now located in Northern Nevada. The county I live in has no smog test requirements. All of the equipment is there as far as I can tell. As it was registered in California previously I assume it will pass smog. However, smog test, equipment or any related expense is the responsibility of the BUYER. In my opinion the car is a great driver but the Z is almost forty years old. There are NO WARRANTIES, OR GUARANTEES OF ANY KIND! Please ask questions, I want the buyer of this Z to be totally satisfied with their purchase. I can take better pictures, weather permitting, of any specific areas or answer any questions you may have. Send me your contact information through Ebay and I will gladly contact you to discuss any questions you have. I also have a walk around video. THANK YOU! |
