Amazingly, the wife has finally given me permission to offer our beautiful 280ZX for sale. The "Z-Car" is the best selling sports car of all time. Whenever I take the car out, I always receive many, many compliments. With the compliments of course comes the obligatory "Z Stories!" It seems like everyone I run into has either owned a Z car or has had a friend or family member who used to own a Z. And boy do they have stories! LOL!!!
I am only the second owner, purchasing it in 1995. Although we love "our baby," my wife and I simply don't drive it. It's lucky to be driven 150 miles/year. It just sits in the garage under the car cover way too much. It needs to go to a new owner who will drive it, enjoy it and create their own memories.
This is one of the nicest, cleanest Datsun 280ZX's you'll find anywhere. The car has never seen a winter. It has the preferred 5 speed manual transmission; Approx. 111k miles; and runs beautifully! The car has been adult owned its entire life and has never been beaten on. It has been truly babied.
The car is beautiful, but it's not quite perfect. I mean it is 33 years old. Just a few items to point out, specifically:
1. The speedometer cable just started making noise. It may need to be greased or replaced.
2. Some of the vinyl has started to pull away in the back, rear hatch area (not too noticeable, but it is pulling away).
3. The only blemish on the exterior of the car is a ding on the driver's door. Please refer to the picture of it.
Other than that, the car runs great. The transmission shifts smoothly and everything works as it should. The AC still blows ice cold!!! If you're looking for a nice original Z Car that has been pampered its entire life, this is your car. The car has never, ever seen a winter. During the 18 years that I've owned the car, I can only recall one time the car ever saw rain. And for that I blame the weatherman on a bad forecast!
Should you have any questions, please feel free to call my cell at 585-314-2760. Thanks, Steve
Unfortunately, there are not too many of these cars left that are in this pristine condition. Hurry as the wife may change her mind!

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.
Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.
