1980 DATSUN 280 ZX 10TH ANNIVERSARY #310 OF 3000 RED AND BLACK 53000 MILES

Description for Datsun Z-Series 1980

Up for auction is a 1980 Datsun 280zx 10th anniversary edition ID #310 of 3000 made. I purchased the car in August of 2005 and have done some mechanical work. Car runs and handles very well and looks good. The two tone red/black paint and the gold/black pinstripe really set off this car. There were only 500 made of this anniversary color design. It is rarer than its counterpart anniversary color scheme of gold and black. It has 52964 original miles. All the following has been replaced or repaired: new brakes. new water pump. window tint. NOS coin holder. New set of 4 tires. New Gold front Emblem-NOS . Side Fender Sticker Decals-NOS. New Front Floor Mats. NOS Dash Duct Sides. New top front dash skin. NOS gas cap . Fuel Injection completely cleaned and gone through. new fuel pump and gas lines and rebuilt manifold. I recently bought a nicer passenger side door handle. a passenger side door handle grip. and NOS door window switch bezels. A/C-works well and is cold. The tool kit is a nice used one. N The car was repainted at some point in time before I purchased it. There are a few small body "bubbles" that I took pictures of that I believe are small rust spots underneath. That is all I see of any rust. There is surface rust under the chassis which is expected for a car of this age. The dash has some cracks in it which is why I have a new dash top that I never have put on. I also have NOS side dash vent ducts in red which are very hard to find. I have only seen one pair ever on ebay and I bought them for a big price but it will look great once the dash is replaced. The car has seen some sun. There is some fading on the top part of the door panels and in the hatch areas as shown. but neither are ripped or torn. Seats are in clean shape. The rear hatchback carpet is a bit dried. Power steering . power brakes. and power windows all work fine. The cruise control light goes on but does not engage. The radio works but there is static. Obviously the antenna is broken so I can’t hear much on the radio. I never tried the cassette but I will say it doesn’t work unless I try before I place this listing. All the gauges work except for the gas tank. There seems to be some intermittent problem as sometimes it will work and then quit and then go back to working. I just fill up after every couple hundred miles. I have never removed the t-tops but the drivers side inside molding has broken on the right side towards the visor as shown in the pix. There are a couple of fine line cracks in the driver’s side t-tops. There are also some fine circular scratches from the car wash on the hood as also shown in the pictures. The alloy wheels have some pitting in them. The car is registered with current tags. Last time I checked. all the tail lights. brake lights and headlights work. The car is complete with nothing missing that I know of except for the 280zx emblem on the front fenders. I have some real nice ones but the back stems have been broken off. There are also clear plastic covers over the recessed headlights. Exterior close ups. Missing 280 ZX emblem Top Windshield. Exterior door handle. Paint bubbles at gas filler. Scratches in hood paint. Broken antenna. Engine compartment. Interior Dash Seats Door Panels Console Sun visors and front header. Carpet and rear compartment. Seat belt. Wheel. Underside. Parts. 　 　 A $ 1000 down payment must be made within 48 hours of the auction end by Paypal. The remainder must be paid within 7 days by cashiers check or cash or bank wire transfer.
