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. On Oct-04-13 at 11:13:21 PDT, seller added the following information: I forgot to mention, I have the 1977 280z Service Manual on CD ROM I will include. I also had all of the belts replaced last year. From Internet Z CAR CLUB: THE Z CARS:

Datsun reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]
Tue, 08 Apr 2014When Nissan revived the Datsun brand name, it essentially hit the "undo" button on the rebranding it undertook decades ago. But this time, the Datsun name is being used solely as a budget brand for developing markets. The reborn marque launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's back again with the new On-Do sedan.
Launched in Moscow by CEO Carlos Ghosn, the On-Do was designed and engineered in Japan specifically for the Russian market - Nissan's fifth largest worldwide - where it will be built at the AvtoVaz plant in Togliatti. Decidedly budget-oriented, the Datsun On-Do is a four-door, five-seat econo-box measuring 172 inches long, 67 inches wide and 60 inches tall with an 18.7 cubic-foot trunk which Datsun describes as class-leading. Punctuating an otherwise bland shape is a large front grille and lighting front and rear that looks (and very well might be) bigger than the wheels.
Not that the Datsun On-Do needs a big contact patch to transfer power to the road: motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter engine with a grand total of - wait for it... wait a little longer - 87 horsepower. Which might strike you as a reasonable amount of muscle, considering the 400,000 rubles Datsun is getting for the On-Do (but consider that translates to about $11,300). That's a couple grand more than what Nissan gets for the Micra in that other giant northern country, or about the same amount it gets for the Versa in the US (which sells in Russia for 499k in rubles) - both of which are powered by what is in all likelihood the same 1.6-liter four but producing 109 hp. Of course Russia has different tax rates than the United States or Canada, but with such little power, the Datsun would fall into Russia's lowest tax bracket.
Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."
First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.
