Background Story of this 1981 Datsun 280ZX

Overview of 1981 Datsun 280ZX For Sale by Owner

The 1981 Datsun 280ZX Deluxe, a proud member of Nissan's Fairlady family of sports cars, stands as a testament to Japanese automotive ingenuity. Introduced for the 1978 model year and continuing until 1983, the 280ZX marked a significant redesign and re-engineering from its predecessor, the 280Z. This particular 1981 model, with a rich history of 166,000 miles, underwent a comprehensive restoration in 2022. Notably, the engine received a rebuild and has traveled less than 2,000 miles since. If you're eager to own a classic Japanese sports car that seamlessly blends style and performance, this Datsun 280ZX awaits your consideration.

Exterior and Interior

Dressed in a fresh coat of black paint, this 1981 Datsun 280ZX Deluxe exudes a renewed vibrancy. The deep shade accentuates every detail of its iconic design, complemented by striking silver alloy wheels that add a touch of elegance. The head and taillamp lenses are clear, and the original 280ZX badging remains intact. Stepping into the interior reveals a new red leather treatment, featuring fresh seats and carpets. The center console, a new addition, houses a Kenwood audio player with Bluetooth connectivity. Enhancing the audio experience is a Rockford Fosgate speaker system. The new gear shifter knob and boot contribute to the refreshed cabin. With the trunk carpet in excellent condition, this sporty car offers surprisingly ample trunk space.

Engine

Powering the 1981 Datsun 280ZX Deluxe is a spirited 2.8-liter in-line 6-cylinder engine, meticulously rebuilt for optimal performance. The fuel-injected engine boasts new seals, performance cams, rocker arms, tappets, springs, and plugs. Equipped with a new 60mm throttle body, pit-matched intake, alternator, water pump, fuel pump, MSD coil and box, and radiator, the engine promises reliability and efficiency. The 5-speed manual gearbox ensures an engaging driving experience. New hoses, brakes, and a stainless steel muffler further enhance the car's overall performance and longevity. This Datsun 280ZX Deluxe presents a rare opportunity to own a classic Japanese sports car that seamlessly combines heritage and modernity.

With its naturally aspirated inline-six and rear-wheel-drive layout, it stays true to the original driving spirit that helped the Z-car lineage become iconic among enthusiasts.

1972 Datsun 240Z

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$29,500

The 1972 Datsun 240Z represents one of the most important Japanese sports cars ever produced, blending European-inspired styling with reliability and affordability that reshaped the performance market in the early 1970s. Lightweight, balanced, and powered by Nissan’s smooth L24 inline-six, the 240Z earned immediate acclaim for delivering genuine sports car dynamics at a fraction of the cost of its European rivals. This example retains its naturally aspirated 2.4-liter inline-six paired with the factory 3-speed Jatco automatic transmission, offering a relaxed and approachable driving experience. Finished in red over a black interior, this 240Z captures the clean, purposeful design that made the model a global success and laid the foundation for decades of Z-car heritage.

1997 Toyota Supra Turbo

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$229,000

A car that enjoys legendary status with petrolheads anywhere in the world, the fourth generation Toyota Supra is one for the history books, in the G.O.A.T section. That’s Greatest Of All Time, in case you’re not well-versed with pop culture. And today, we’ve got a G.O.A.T for sale, in the shape of this 1997 Toyota Supra from Arlington, Texas. Beneath its smooth black body lines lies the legendary 2JZ-GTE twin-turbo six, and it’s been built to a Stage 3 Stroker level by Induction Performance. It’s matched by a Jack’s Transmissions-built V160 6-speed manual transmission and a host of performance goodies. This car has done a mere 32,000 miles and even has ProEFI Flex Fuel (E85) engine management on board. The current owner discloses that the car faced an off-road incident in 2015 with damage to the wheels and front lip, but has since been repaired since no structural damage was reported.

2006 Nissan 350Z Twin Turbo

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$27,500

Remember Need For Speed Underground? The time when this famous racing franchise shifted gears and focused on the whole street racing scene? Well, one of the cars in that game was the Nissan 350Z. A fine sports car, it was highly sought after by players, and could be massively upgraded in-game, just like in real life. If you grew up playing NFS Underground and dreaming of a 350Z in your life, that time has come. Say hello to this 2006 Nissan 350Z from Chino. It’s done 73,000 miles and comes with some rather nice upgrades, including a shift towards forced induction! Better yet, the car still maintains a rather stock outlook on the exterior. So, you can either keep it as the sleeper it is, or give it a new look – the choice is yours once you take over this car.

1993 Honda Civic Del Sol Si Turbo

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$34,500

Now here’s a classic JDM cult hero that’s pretty hard to find these days. This pint-sized 1993 Honda del Sol Si can give you a real thrill, thanks to its heavily upgraded turbocharged powerplant. The del Sol was introduced in 1992 and sold until 1998, as a small sport compact. It’s just 158 inches long and 67 inches wide, after all. This particular car has been significantly customized, making it a definite one-off for those who not only want a del Sol, but prefer one with added bark and bite. We’re told that there’s a custom body kit, the engine has been turbocharged, and a manual transmission awaits keen drivers. If you’re itching to buy this car, it’s up for grabs in Milwaukee.
