The Toy Barn of Dublin Presents:
1975 Datsun 280z
The Toy Barn is thrilled to offer this beautiful 1975 Datsun 280z, in excellent condition, and ready for it's new owner! This Z-car is great, and certainly a trip down memory lane. It was a recent trade-in here at our store, from a true Z enthusiast that traded this and a 1983 for the finest '83 Turbo on the planet. Interestingly enough, when I saw this car in person, I was very pleased; this car is a fantastic car to own and drive. The paint and body were redone, the interior was redone and looks excellent, the car runs, drives, and feels awesome out on the road, and from top to bottom the car looks great.
History: This Z started it's life delivered at a Datsun dealership in Richmond, Va in August of 1975. We have a full file of receipts and history, starting with the process of parts accumulation and restoration in 2004-2006, up through 2013 when several thousand dollars were spent on mechanical updates and upgrades. In 2005 (at about 110k miles), the car underwent the largest part of the physical restoration process, where it was sent to Morris Body and paint in Georgia and stripped, repainted, and refinished from top to bottom, including glass, seals, emblems, trim, rust repair, etc. (Over $5000 in body shop receipts). Aside from body work, the car also had a complete interior restoration including seats, door panels, dash, carpet, handles, trim, etc. Over all, this 280z was restored over the 2004-2006 time period, and then driven seldomly until purchased in 2008 by the gentleman who traded it to us. From 2010 to 2013, over $5000 was spent making this car's mechanics in line with it's appearance. The brakes were completely redone, as well as a valve adjustment, fuel pump and fuel sytem overhaul (lines, filter, etc), battery, and MUCH more. Bottom line: from 2004 to 2013, the car was driven only 4k miles or so, with $13k+ in parts and labor restoration. Otherwise it was stored as a seldom-driven collectible in a climate controlled environment. Babied, garage kept, and seldom driven. It still looks and runs excellent!
Condition: This is 280z is finished in Gold Metallic exterior, over Ivory vinyl interior.The paint looks very nice, and is fairly new, with about 4k miles of time on the road, though it's about 9 years old. I'd be happy to walk this car and give you further details, and more information about the paint and body. I've provided several pictures, including the underside of this car as well. The interior is a solid 8.5 out of 10, and is all redone and excellent. The seats are newly re-wrapped, the dash is is new, the carpet is new, the trim is new, and it looks fantastic. From top to bottom, everything you see is very clean. The motor runs strong, the transmission feels great, the suspension is nice and tight. As previously mentioned, over $5k was spent in the last 300 miles making the car ready for the street. We also serviced the car here at our Performance Center, and it's ready for the road. I have a full folder of maintenance and receipts, as well as the owner's booklets, included with the sale.
Though in great condition, this is of course a nearly 40 year old car, as I'm sure you understand. There are a few various nicks, dings, and imperfections, but overall it is really nice. It is being sold as-is. CALL ME FOR MORE DETAILS!!!
