1976 Datsun 280Z

For Sale
ASK: $30,799
Miles: 39,994
Estimated: $305.38/mo

The Datsun Z-car helped redefine the affordable sports car market in the 1970s, bringing Japanese engineering, European-inspired grand touring styling, and engaging six-cylinder performance to enthusiasts around the world. Following the success of the original 240Z, Nissan continued refining the S30 platform, introducing the 280Z in 1975 with increased engine displacement and electronic fuel injection to maintain performance amid increasingly stringent emissions regulations. This 1976 Datsun 280Z 2+2 Coupe, showing just 39,994 miles, is finished in distinctive Green Leaf Metallic over a Black vinyl interior, a classic color combination that complements the Z-car's elegant proportions. Described by the seller as a remarkably original example, this 280Z retains much of its factory configuration, with American Racing alloy wheels and a Pioneer stereo among its noted modifications. Its 2.8L inline-six engine is paired with a desirable five-speed manual transmission, offering the engaging driving experience that established the Z-car's reputation among enthusiasts. The extended-wheelbase 2+2 configuration provides additional rear seating without sacrificing the recognizable fastback silhouette, while the seller reports no evidence of rust or previous accident damage. Combining appealing originality, relatively low indicated mileage, and classic Japanese sports car character, this 280Z offers an attractive opportunity to experience an important chapter of Nissan's performance heritage.
