This is a very nice ORIGINAL (35100 mile) RUST FREE example of a 1980 10th Anniversary 280ZX. There were 3000 individually numbered Anniversary models.2500 were gold and black while only 500 were red and black.Any article that I have come across call these ULTRA-RARE AND VERY COLLECTIBLE! This is #529 of 3000 and is in exceptional condition. The original owner lived in Oregon and she owned the car until early 2006.In 2007 the car was shipped to PA. where it has been stored in a heated garage and driven to local car shows (The car has traveled 1000 miles in 7 years).
The exterior has all original paint and is in EXCELLENT CONDITION !There is NO RUST on the body or underneath( NO BUBBLES).All rubber gaskets (door, window) are in excellent condition.The bumpers have perfect chrome and the rubber/plastic are not faded.There is a two inch cut in the black rubber (corner) on the drivers side front bumper its hard to see but its there and is the only flaw! The interior is in excellent condition.The leather is nice and soft with no tears,cracks or fading. The carpets,dash and door panels are equally as nice! All gauges,power windows,wipers.cruise control,lights,AC work as they should (even the clock works).The radio works perfectly but the power antenna does not go up and down. The glass is all perfect including the T-tops.I have the shade protector and the carry cases for the T-tops (both in great condition). The engine and 5 speed transmission work flawlessly and is a pleasure to drive.Last week I replaced the original thermostat (it was like new). I also had the original clutch replaced by the family that owned the original Datsun/Nissan dealership in the Northeastern PA.I had Automobile City replace the clutch disc and pressure plate and release bearing.All hydraulic fluid and transmission fluid are new.The engine oil/filter is new as well.Invoice for all work will be included.

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The 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.
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.
