This car is not DOZR’s, he is selling it for a friend. [FONT=Tahoma]1978 Datsun 280Z, Silver with Black interior. The car has only 80,000 miles on it. It was last inspected two years ago which it passed. [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma]It will need brakes and drums. It will also need a new driver’s side mirror, as the one I have now is broke at the base. It runs well now, and everything is in good working order (mechanically).[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma]I have never had a problem with it, even when it was my daily driver for a six month period. With a tune-up I would be confident driving it across the country, if I had to.[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma]It has some bubbling around the gas tank (common problem), and the two rear fenders. It also has a ¼” deep baseball circumference size dent in the roof. It has both the original stereo and a nice alpine head unit installed. I also had a cold air intake kit installed, with a K&N air filter.[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma]It underwent a frame off restoration in the 90’s by the second owner (old guy), and has been stored in a heated garage (no winters) by all of the owners. (First owner was Mike Barney’s, of Mike Barney Nissan, wife)[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma]I have almost all of the maintenance and repair documentation for the car. I don’t really want to sell it, but I haven’t driven it and don’t have time to do anything with it.[/FONT] Asking $4000 obo[FONT=Tahoma][/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000\_0716.jpg[/FONT]](http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000_0716.jpg%5B/FONT%5D) [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000\_0711.jpg[/FONT]](http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000_0711.jpg%5B/FONT%5D) [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000\_0710.jpg[/FONT]](http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000_0710.jpg%5B/FONT%5D) [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000\_0709.jpg[/FONT]](http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000_0709.jpg%5B/FONT%5D) [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000\_0708.jpg[/FONT]](http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000_0708.jpg%5B/FONT%5D) [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000\_0706.jpg[/FONT]](http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000_0706.jpg%5B/FONT%5D) [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000\_0705.jpg[/FONT]](http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000_0705.jpg%5B/FONT%5D) [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000\_0704.jpg[/FONT]](http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000_0704.jpg%5B/FONT%5D) [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000\_0711.jpg[/FONT]](http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000_0711.jpg%5B/FONT%5D) [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000\_0712.jpg[/FONT]](http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000_0712.jpg%5B/FONT%5D) [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000\_0713.jpg[/FONT]](http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000_0713.jpg%5B/FONT%5D) [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000\_0714.jpg[/FONT]](http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000_0714.jpg%5B/FONT%5D) [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000\_0719.jpg[/FONT]](http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000_0719.jpg%5B/FONT%5D) [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000\_0720.jpg[/FONT]](http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/connorkolb/000_0720.jpg%5B/FONT%5D) [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][/FONT] ---

most people worry about rust on datsuns. i saw pictures of the frame and everything on the car being restored properly to take care of all of that :tup: however it did run a bit funny, hope it was taken care of
