Overview of 1982 Datsun 280ZX For Sale by Owner

This 1982 Datsun 280ZX presents as a uniquely customized example of Nissan’s beloved long-nose grand tourer, wearing bright red paint paired with a fully reupholstered two-tone blue & black interior. As part of the final years of the first-generation ZX, this model blends classic 1980s Japanese sports-car styling with a comfortable GT character, and this particular car adds its own personality through aftermarket touches such as chrome wheels, updated audio, and vibrant cabin accents. 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.

Exterior and Interior

Outside, the car wears vivid red paint complemented by chrome wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, giving it a period-correct muscle-influenced stance. Original 280ZX body lines, bumper design, and trim remain intact, and the engine-bay factory warning labels are still present, including bilingual hood-stay instructions and coolant notices. Inside, the cabin has been reupholstered in a bold two-tone blue & black theme, paired with red-painted trim that matches the exterior. The dashboard, door panels, and center stack retain their classic 280ZX layout, with a Kenwood head unit added for modern practicality. The bright blue rear cargo area carpets and reupholstered seat surfaces continue the personalized aesthetic throughout.

Engine

Under the hood sits Nissan’s L28E 2.8L inline-six, a naturally aspirated engine known for its smooth delivery and long-term durability. The engine bay shows typical aging of components but maintains its original layout, including the factory air-conditioning hardware and emission equipment. Power is delivered through a 3-speed automatic transmission, identified by the PRND21 shifter pattern visible in the interior photos. Like all 280ZX models, this one uses rear-wheel drive, rack-and-pinion steering, and independent rear suspension, delivering the classic GT feel that the Z-car was known for. Aftermarket additions include updated ignition components and the Kenwood stereo, while the drivetrain appears consistent with factory specification.
