This Excellent Condition 1980 Datsun 280 ZX is being offered for sale for the first time since 1980, having been lovingly cared for by two generations of a family who have documented ownership since October 1980. This is a very rare combination with a full Black exterior and single tone Red interior with original velour seats. It was produced in Japan as a GL package, including T-tops and Factory Air. It is believed that less than 10 models with this color combination were produced in 1980 that were not marked as 10th Anniversary Models, and the combination was discontinued in 1981. This car has been gently restored inside and out, the wheels have been re-polished, the window glass was re-tinted by an acclaimed professional who does work for Hollywood productions. All components of this car are original, or dealer options. The Targa-style band across the rear roof section, the metal side moldings, the floormats, trunkmat, aluminum louvers and dash cover are great protective and visual additions to this classic automobile. The car has only 59,003 original miles on the odometer, it runs & drives great with a smooth shifting 5 speed manual transmission, riding on Yokohama tires. The mileage reflects this cars continual usage as a occasional driver several times per month by the owners, keeping it in excellent running condition. The 2.8 Liter L28 Inline 6 Cylinder engine is quiet, cruise control works smoothly, the power windows open and close quickly, the power mirrors function well and the original AM/FM Cassette stereo works like new and the interior is nearly flawless. The ZX was positioned by Nissan/Datsun’s to combine the performance of the original Z-car with slightly more luxurious GT car characteristics. This 280 ZX offers the same 2.8 liter fuel injected straight six and five speed gearbox as the 280z models. The rear suspension went from Chapman struts to a trailing-arm design, which rode softer. The scoop headlamps and three gauges in the center stack angled toward the driver communicate the pure Datsun nostalgia of this car. This treasured classic is being offered with a reasonable reserve price with every confidence that whoever buys this vehicle will be pleased to have it for years to come. It is a truly fun and unique car to own and drive.
