On the block: 1980 Datsun 280ZX 2+2 with NH title. Back seats have enough room to fit or fold down for extra storage room. 2.8L Straight 6 accompanied with 5 speed manual transmission. Car runs and drives strong: nice enough to save for the weekends and durable and reliable enough for everyday driving. Car has extensive paper work including original sales sticker, original manual, and original warranty and service manual. Car had many repairs in 2004 as well as the paperwork to back it up. Car is in great shape and is easily one of the best 280's out there. 


The Good: Mechanically the car is very strong, all electronics work especially door light and bell when door is ajar as well as working engine bay light. A/C is cold, and the heat works great. Power windows and power mirrors all operate with out flaw. Dashboard is un-cracked, and interior is impeccable. Gear box and clutch are tight and deliver plenty of power to the rear wheels. Handling and braking are very sensitive and have all the power to take tight runs or bring the car to a fast halt. Extensive paperwork dating back to 1985. 

The Bad: With all 30+ year old cars it has some minor issues. Seeps oil and some leakage through moon roof. The moon roof is inoperable and chalked closed. The starter can sometimes be fiddly in the cold weather but a roll start is usually the answer. The car has some rust that was resulted in a poor paint prep. Some rust along roof line where windshield meets the roof as well as some rust on the cowl. 

I am the third owner of this vehicle and this car is nothing short of amazing. I always get looks and compliments and most of the time people think its a Porsche. I am listing this car with all aspects that have been presented to me and my knowledge; there may be unseen issues I am not aware of. Please use caution and do research before placing a bid on this car. Good luck and good bidding.

This car is being offered and posted to the best knowledge of the seller. Please ask questions before bidding if concerned. This car is being offered with no warranty guaranteed or implied. The buyer is responsible for all shipping related to the car.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.
