This is a rare original 1977 Datsun Special Edition 280Z with 80K of which around 1000 were produced. I am the third owner and have owned this car for seven years. The car was in the arid climate of Brownsville, Texas for 30 years and moved to Austin, TX 7 years ago.
Datsun called it the "ZZZap Z". Offered only in Bright Sunburst Yellow paint with special decal package, rear window shade and dual racing mirrors and side stripe decals. The Zap Z model was used as the pace car for the 1977 Long Beach Grand Prix.
The ZZZap Z also received "Top", "Side" and "Deck" stripes, and I have an EXTRA SET OF DECALS/STRIPES (see Photo) to go with this car. I chose to keep the car as a "Survivor" with original paint (slight normal fade, please see photos) and decals, but with the extra decals you could make like brand new if you choose. The decals are from a set of 12 made a few years ago by an after market dealer.

Car has a strong Engine that runs smooth with matching numbers and Automatic Transmission. The car passes Texas inspection every year without a problem.

I have maintained the car as a survivor and have only done things that preserve it's original condition including over the last seven years: most of the work was performed by the renowned Z Clinic in Austin, TX.

Valves adjusted/sparkplug wires/cap, R12 AC new compressor (Blows COLD) and muffler (2013) 4 like new Michelin Z-rated tires with low miles (2011) Minor Body work and paint where necessary to preserve including rear deck decal. Carpet Kit with original 280Z floor mats. New shocks and suspension rubber replaced where needed. Brake booster and master cylinder replaced, wheel cylinders rebuilt and new brake pads. Valves adjusted/sparkplug wires/cap.

In addition:

Had dual mirrors and Louver powdercoated in 2012

I have an EXTRA set of matching hubcaps I will include with the car.

The car still has its original spare tire (never used) and jack with air can in back.

Working AM/FM cassette (auto reverse) period radio with original speakers.

Working Power Antenna

EXTRA set of 280Z ZAP decals in excellent condition.

This is an amazing hard to find collectible survivor 1977 280Z ZAP. Only a few have come to market in the last few years and only a couple with this low mileage and condition. It is a blast to drive in the city and on the highway. Everywhere I drive it, someone will come up and start a conversation about how cool it is.

I am selling this car as is and representing it's condition as clearly as I can. I have made a video of the MY ACTUAL CAR over audio from a 1977 280Z commercial for you to see the car in action. Please cut and paste this link: http://youtu.be/MqVhIB3-dQg

Please feel free to contact me with questions or if you need me to send you a link to the video.

Buyer is responsible for picking up and shipping the car from Austin, Texas.

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:

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.
