Even though the 1978 280Z is showing its age, and it is around 30 years old, the outside of a preserved car looks as though it could have been built yesterday. With recessed headlights, a very aggressive front bumper, swooped windshield and chopped off back end, the 280Z was ahead of it's time in 1978, and it still looks amazing today. Few modern cars have the potential to match the Z in terms of looks and appearance. It looks sporty yet professional, just as at home on a track or going to a business lunch. This particular 1978 280Z is a one owner car that purchased the car new in 1979 for $8700. It has 144,000 original miles. Engine and Transmission was completely rebuilt in 2005 and was in storage until 2007 then the garage burned in the fire. The clearcoat then baked with the tires in the Southern California Sun and has peeled down to the basecoat. Always started her on the weekends to keep the fluids moving and starts right up with a charged battery (not included). All parts were ordered striaght from Japan. Exterior was done at the same time. Clearcoat on black paint job blistered. Original paint was light metallic blue #610 Engine Runs very strong, car has been registered as a CA non-op. No major dents or dings in body. (see pictures two small ones on passenger door and one on front bumber) Needs New Battery, Paint job and some fresh Tires and you are rolling in a $16000 ride. Automatic transmission and Fuel injection were dealer options. Nice black interior with diamond stitching on doors and headliner. All the electronics work, lights gauges.Black carpet. No cracks in dash or seats, door skid plate's vinyl is worn see picture. Only Body Rust is around the radio antennae base and is minor see picture. All Stock Engine Transmission Suspension Original Wheels. However, what really makes the 280Z so special is not the inside or outside appearance of the vehicle, it is the way in which it drives, which it commands the road and the degree to which the driver commands the car. Quite simply, no modern car can provide the experience of the 280Z. With it's small size, low ground clearance, and two seats, the 280 makes the driver feel as if he or she is in complete and total command of the car. A couple minutes spent driving the 280Z is all it takes to make one feel as if the driver and the car have become one. WHY WAIT USE BUY IT NOW.
