1976 Datsun 280Z

Nissan’s fine line-up of Z-cars is widely considered to be some of the best for pure, unadulterated driver thrills. Today’s Z is a fearsome turbocharged beast, but the classics from the Z series have their own charm and quirks. Take this 1978 Datsun 280Z as a prime example. During this period, the cars were being sold under the Datsun brand in the United States. Recognizing that we had strict emissions regulations at the time, Nissan somehow managed to make the 280Z as sporting as possible. Hence, its fuel-injected engine made 170 horsepower (gross), more than what most American V8s could muster! Today’s example hails from Florence, California, and has done only 54,420 miles. Furthermore, it’s got a reupholstered interior, as well as a replaced radiator and ignition coils.

Widely celebrated as the very vehicle to put Japanese sports cars on the map, the Nissan Fairlady Z (sold in other markets as a Datsun) was first released in 1969 after being completed by lead designer Yoshihiko Matsuo and his team. With an effort to compete with European models, the Z was uniquely styled, with some even comparing it to the Jaguar E-Type, one of the most beautiful cars ever made. As a result, the Z series quickly one a positive response from the press and buyers for its beautiful design, reliability, and competitive price, and the car eventually went to become one of the most successful sports car lines to ever be produced. The 280Z as featured here was released for the North American market in 1975. Today, the Z line serves as a time capsule for anyone wanting to experience some of the finest Japanese automotive sports cars of the twentieth century. This fine example is currently up for sale in Massachusetts with no more than 46,000 miles on the road.
