Description

Up for sale is my super-cool, manual shift, 1983 Datsun (Nissan) 280ZX 2+2. It has a complete title and current registration and is ready to go! I have really enjoyed this car and I’ll be totally uncool without it but circumstances require I part with it. The car is in the Minneapolis area and I can meet to show it and test drive. If you need the car shipped, I can meet the truck and help get it loaded but you will have to arrange shipping yourself. It’s just not a process I’m familiar with.

The car is black with a tan interior that I was converting to black. Some interior pieces have already been replaced and I have more that will come with the car. The car starts and runs very well and has a “very healthy engine” according to a vintage car guy who checked it out for me recently. The great thing about it is that, ESPECIALLY for a car that has been in Minnesota for a while, it is NOT a rust bucket. When I first got it less than a year ago, my mechanic put it up on the rack to check things out and told me that the underside looked like it was about a five year old car. There is superficial rust of course but NOTHING destabilizing. There are a few small rust issues that I will get to. The guy I bought it from had it garaged for ten years but started it regularly. When I purchased it, I drove it away with no problem. It has never failed me. Here are the details:

VIN: JN1HZ06S8DX507536

Original miles: 82,116

Model: 280ZX 2+2 (Has a small back seat)

  • Black end vents for the dash area

  • Black bezels (trim) for the speedometer area and three center gauges

  • Black glove compartment door

  • Black steering column shroud

  • Black wheel well/strut tower covers (also very expensive pieces)

  • Black caps for strut towers

  • Chrome replacement trim for T-top (one piece is rusted and needs replacement for sure)

Car needs:

  • Valve seals most likely need to be replaced (compression test was done – all cylinders were at 120. Engine is solid and diagnosis was valve seals)

  • Rusted dent should be repaired (shown in pictures)

  • Windshield should be popped and rust dealt with around windshield

  • New dash and other interior parts and cargo carpet need to be installed

  • Might be time for tires though I’ve had no issues
