1978 Datsun 280z 55k miles - $3,250 firm
Name: Zachary Klares
Location: Sterling, VA
Means of contact: PM or email z.klares@gmail.com
Price: $4,000obo
Description:
1978 280z 5spd l28 55k miles is what the odo says but doesn't go past 99,999. The connecticut title i had who's owner had it since the 90's said 44k so it could be accurate. It has aftermarket wood wheel classic, zg flares, MSA lip, alpine head-unit, russell stainless brake lines, new clutch master, new front caliper and pads/shoes in rear. Just did a full tune-up all around for drivability. Cur runs and drives great now. Interior is stellar for its age, new carpet, dash cover. Things that don't work - wipers (isolated it to the column electronics); tachometer (didn't care to look into it).
Also since i know this forum likes to harp on this, yes it has rust. A lot of it. I bought the car to drive and enjoy, not to restore. If you wanted to restore this you would need all new floor pans, rocker panels, shock towers and frame rails. they are all rusty. see here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib0TF...ature=youtu.be

still for sale. didn't see the email, re-send. Would entertain offers but I'm not hurt for cash. Started it up yesterday before the snow storm because i didn't drive it for two weeks and it cranked right up. Very reliable setup for its age.

If it's still around next month, let's have a talk. I'm currently in the middle of a mortgage refinance.
