1980 Datsun 280 Zx 10th Anniversary Edition Number 310 Of 3000 on 2040-cars
Chatsworth, California, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1980 Datsun 280zx 10th anniversary edition ID #310 of 3000 made. I purchased the car in August of 2005 and have done some mechanical work. Car runs and handles very well and looks good. The two tone red/black paint and the gold/black pinstripe really set off this car. There were only 500 made of this anniversary color design. It is rarer than its counterpart anniversary color scheme of gold and black. It has 52964 original miles. All the following has been replaced or repaired:
new brakes,
new water pump,
tint window,
NOS coin holder,
A/C-works well and is cold,
New set of 4 tires,
New Gold front Emblem-NOS ,
Side Fender Sticker Decals-NOS,
Rebuild Manifold,
New Front Floor Mats,
Tool Kit-Used,
NOS Dash Duct Sides,
Fuel Injection completely cleaned and gone through,
New top front dash skin,
NOS gas cap ,
The car was repainted at some point in time before I purchased it. There are a few small body "bubbles" that I took pictures of that I believe are small rust spots underneath. That is all I see of any rust. There is surface rust under the chassis which is expected for a car of this age. The dash has some cracks in it which is why I have a new dash top that I never have put on. I also have NOS side dash vent ducts in red which are very hard to find. I have only seen one pair ever on ebay and I bought them for a big price but it will look great once the dash is replaced. The car has seen some sun. There is some fading on the top part of the door panels and in the hatch areas as shown, but neither are ripped or torn. Seats are in clean shape. The rear hatchback carpet is a bit dried. Power steering , power brakes, and power windows all work find. The cruise control light goes on but does not engage. The radio works but there is static obviously the antenna is busted so I can’t hear much on the radio. I never tried the cassette but I will say it doesn’t work unless I try before I place this listing. All the gauges work except for the gas tank. There seems to be some intermittence problem as sometimes it will work and then quit and then go back to working. I just fill up after every couple hundred miles. Have never removed the t-tops but the drivers side inside molding has broken on the right side towards the visor as shown in the pix. There are a couple of fine line cracks in the driver’s side t-tops. There are also some fine circular scratches from the car wash on the hood as also shown in the pictures. The alloy wheels have some pitting in them. Car passed smog with out a problem late in 2009. The car is registered with current tags. Last time I checked, all the tail lights, brake lights and headlights work. Car is complete with nothing missing that I know of except for the 280zx emblem on the front fenders. I have some real nice ones but the back steams have been broken off. There are also clear plastic covers over the recessed headlights. I recently bought a nicer passenger side door handle, a passenger side door handle grip, and NOS door window switch bezels. Exterior close ups. Missing 280 ZX emblem Top Windshield. Exterior door handle. Paint bubbles at gas filler. Scratches in hood paint. Broken antenna. Engine compartment. Interior Dash Seats Door Panels Console Sun visors and front header. Carpet and rear compartment. Seat belt. Wheel. Underside. Parts. A $ 1000 down payment must be made within 48 hours of the auction end by Paypal. The remainder must be paid within 7 days by cashiers check or cash or band wire transfer. Any checks must clear both banks before the car will be released. I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time. |

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.
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."
Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
