Overview of 1982 Datsun 280ZX GL For Sale by Owner

The 280ZX represented the evolution of Nissan’s legendary Z-car formula, blending the sporty character of the original 240Z with greater comfort, refinement, and everyday usability. This 1982 Datsun 280ZX GL Coupe shows 76,838 miles and is equipped with the desirable 5-speed manual transmission paired with Nissan’s proven 2.8-liter inline-six engine. Finished in a vibrant orange custom paint job over a beige interior, this coupe stands out from the crowd while retaining the timeless styling that has made the S130-generation Z a favorite among enthusiasts. Combining classic Japanese sports car appeal, rear-wheel-drive dynamics, and a manual gearbox, this 280ZX offers an engaging driving experience that continues to attract collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1982 Datsun 280ZX GL Coupe is finished in a striking orange custom paint finish that accentuates the car’s sleek fastback profile and distinctive styling cues. Long regarded as one of the more refined sports coupes of its era, the 280ZX features a flowing roofline, integrated bumpers, and a sporty stance enhanced by factory 14-inch alloy wheels. Disc brakes provide confident stopping power, while the car’s balanced proportions and classic Z-car design remain instantly recognizable more than four decades after production. The interior of this 1982 Datsun 280ZX GL Coupe features a beige color scheme that complements the exterior finish and reflects the grand touring nature of the model. Power windows, power mirrors, and power door locks were premium amenities for the era and helped establish the 280ZX as a more luxurious successor to the original Z-car. The driver-focused cockpit places essential controls within easy reach, while the supportive seating and spacious cabin make the car equally enjoyable for weekend drives and longer journeys. The current owner reports that the air conditioning system blows air but is not currently producing cold air.

Engine

Powering this 1982 Datsun 280ZX GL Coupe is Nissan’s durable 2.8-liter L28E inline-six engine, featuring Bosch L-Jetronic electronic fuel injection for reliable operation and improved efficiency. Known for its smooth power delivery and longevity, the L28E became one of the most respected engines of its era and remains highly regarded among classic Japanese car enthusiasts today. This example pairs the inline-six with a desirable 5-speed manual transmission, allowing drivers to fully enjoy the engine’s broad powerband and rear-wheel-drive chassis. The combination delivers a rewarding analog driving experience that showcases why the Z-car became one of the most successful Japanese sports car platforms ever produced.

The 1955 Woodill Wildfire occupies a unique place in American automotive history as the nation’s first production fiberglass sports car, predating many of the specialty fiberglass cars that followed. Created by California entrepreneur Blanchard Woodill, the Wildfire combined lightweight construction with sleek styling and was even featured in several Hollywood films during the 1950s. Today, fewer than 25 examples are believed to survive, making the Wildfire one of the rarest American sports cars in existence. Showing just 408 miles, this professionally build example has been transformed with a Corvette C1/C2 drivetrain, a powerful 396ci big block V8, and numerous performance and cosmetic upgrades. A multiple award-winning build, it also includes a professional car show display sign and a fitted car cover for its next caretaker.
