Overview of 1979 Datsun 280ZX Coupe For Sale by Owner

It is the second generation Z-car, known in different markets as the Datsun 280ZX, Nissan Fairlady Z, and Nissan Fairlady 280Z. Produced between 1978 and 1983, this was first time the "by Nissan" subscript was badged alongside the Datsun logo (you'll have to look below the logo and squint though). The 280ZX was crowned Motor Trend's import vehicle of the year in 1979, and it remains one of the most awe-inspiring classics on the market today. You might be able to get one at an affordable deal if you act quickly before the 2023 Nissan Z sparks a vintage Datsun/Fairlady Z restomod mania. This stunning 1979 Datsun 280ZX Coupe is the solution we brought to you today. Located in California, it shows only 61,500 miles on its clock and has received plenty of new components from its previous owner.

Exterior and Interior

First, let’s talk about the exceptional color that this 1979 Datsun 280zx Coupe boast. The brown paint shimmers to deceive your eyes and makes it look like gold when exposed to the sun. The iconic front fascia is easily recognizable thanks to the headlamps that are sunk into the hood, creating the impression of a longer profile. The directional lights are said to be newly added. It sits on new BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires and also feature new wheel caps. Inside, you get a newly carpeted beige interior that retains its original seats. The vibe inside the cabin is very ‘70s, as it feature a radio, cassette player and climate controls on its center console. The driver is presented with a brown steering wheel with the Z logo in the middle and two large analog gauges between two smaller gauges. A first aid kit is also at arm’s reach in case of emergencies.

Engine

Giving this 1979 Datsun 280ZX Coupe the go-juice from underneath the hood is a 2.8L SOHC 12-valve inline-6 engine. It is capable of churning out 135 horsepower and 144 lb.ft of torque out of the factory. However, this particular engine reportedly received new spark plugs, cables, injection system, regulator and fuel pump that might have improved the power figures. An automatic transmission tackles the power while newly installed brakes provide stopping power.
