1978 Datsun 280ZX Coupe Up for auction a nice clean unmolested 280ZX The car shows 71k on it and has really 1 original owner since 78-2012. The original owner kept pretty good records too that come with car. And its a nice original un restored Z. Which with a little interior work, would be a great car. Paint is original Az faded, but for a driver, its fine.The cars been a 2nd car for most of its life which explains the low miles which we think are original . Being an AZ CAR, expect little to NO RUST on or near the body etc. The chrome on both bumpers is in amazing shape. No pitting or rust - and they are straight on. Check out our feedback - feel comfortable buying from someone like us with GREAT large pics in our ads and GREAT FEEDBACK. Ive been driving the car around now for the last week almost daily and it has plenty of power, starts and runs great every time and is a blast to drive. Some things I know the car needs: Hi/low beam headlight switch not working / small dent LF fender / boot around the shifter torn or missing, you get alot of heat from the motor up thru there when driving. / and once in a while I hear a small rattle by the motor. Sounds like either maybe an alternator bearing or water pump ? I hear it from time to time, but havent pinned down whats making the noise. DRIVETRAIN: Original S30 L4 runs great with plenty of power in every gear. ALL stock - un molested just the way Nissan built it. Trans and clutch feel good too. INTERIOR: Showing it age from the Az sun over a 30 yr span but fine for a daily driver and would restore easily enough in a weekend. Headliner gone, dash cracked (cheap cover on it currently) seats and door panels showing wear. But again, this is all cosmetic and you could drive the car like this for more yrs if you wanted to.Glass is good, but the inside glass needs a good cleaning. Think it had window tint on it that was removed yrs ago. AC all connected and worked last summer, but now it is blowing cool, not cold. Unless Im not using the controls correctly. SUSPENSION: All stock original down to the OE alloy rimsFeels good, but Im sure it will need some bushings if you looked hard. But no weird noises , but I the shocks areold and mushy. Tires decent, but nothing special. (We also are a tire dealer, so if you want a new set of tires installed on the car before taking delivery, let us know what you want and we can price it out for you, installed.) BODY: Really nice shape for its age. A few small dents and dings here and there, but some are so small they are hard to see in the pics. Air damn is in good shape, where most are torn or ripped off. Trunk struts work well. overall, this is a great Driver as is or would be an easy car to restore back to original.
