I will answer absolutely any questions with honesty and full disclosure. I will attempt to describe the vehicle with as much detail as possible in this post. Thanks for looking and feel free to ask questions. -Mark History of Vehicle: My father bought it from the dealer in 1976. It was un-modified and driven ~80k miles and garage kept until 1987. It was stored in a garage from 1987 until around 2000 when I resurrected it. Has been garage kept ever since. Reason for Selling: I'm a married 34 y/o father of 2. Just found out we have a 3rd on the way. Even though it's a 2+2 I can't put all of the boys in it and want to sell it to clear garage space and possibly get a more practical vehicle. Swore I'd never sell it. Current Condition: Electrical - Wired for MSnS but currently does not run. I burned a transistor on my MSnS board a few months ago and haven't gotten around to repairing the board. Since it's wired and has all of the sensors, you can use virtually any aftermarket fuel/ignition. If this is a big issue for a serious buyer I will replace the MSnS unit. Mechanically - very good. The turbo, motor, exhaust, transmission, suspension, and drivetrain are all in good condition. Climate Control - heater core bypassed and AC removed. Open the windows and enjoy the fresh air. ;) Cosmetics - Does have rust bubbles around the wheel wells and some rust on the rear bumper. The floors and frame were repaired and are in very good condition since the re-paint in ~2000. I ripped out all of the carpet, but have a full 2+2 carpet kit that will be included in the sale. The dash is cracked, but I have a full dash cap that will be included with the sale. The center console has a small crack. New Datsun shift knob will be included with the sale. Motorsports auto arm rest with cup holder included with the sale. Small dent in front passenger fender where something in the garage fell on it. No front bumper but will include a 240z bumper (used) for retrofit. Extra Parts: Other than what I've listed within the ad I have a spare N42 (I think) head that will go with the sale along with a factory service manual and any other spare part I can find. Location: Mohnton (19540), PA Specs: 76 280 2+2 Currently has a clean antique Pennsylvania title (no inspection needed - ever) Konig Rewind 15" wheels in excellent condition and Kumho summer performance tires with ~90% tread Tokiko lowering springs and non-adjustable shocks Motorsports auto front and rear sway bars Energy suspension bushings all around James Thagard Garrett T3/T04E (I forget the trim) MSnS Extra PLX Devices wide band O2 Autometer Tach and Boost Gauge 5 Speed Manual Transmission (original 4 speed manual will be included with the sale - works perfectly) 3.90 Rear (I think. Bought it as such but never measured the rotations) Spearco 2-221 IC 440cc Supra Injectors Big Bosch Fuel Pump 1G DSM BOV 2.5" DP to 3" exhaust (all mandrel bent) 60MM Throttle Body MSD adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator MSD 6A Ignition Hall Effect Crank Trigger Wheel ACT Street Clutch Ran a 13.3 @ 108MPH at 14psi and 2970lbs Performance: Video of the first and only time I took it to the track (Maple Grove, PA).
