1977 Datsun 280Z Red RWD Manual

Description for Datsun 280Z 1977

This is the classic barn story. My dad purchased this car in about 1999 and it ran and drove great. He stripped it all down to begin a very detailed restoration but kept it drivable. He had a professional mechanic go over the engine and drivetrain and replace anything he recommended. He slowly lost interest and then he gave it to me but I didn’t have time to mess with it. I would drive it every now and then to keep the battery alive and just make sure it would stay driveable. I then moved away and it has lived in this barn for about 10 years. It has been covered and the paint is actually not bad, those are patches of dust on the roof and hood from holes in the cover or something. Mice have definitely been on the inside but could probably be cleaned up pretty easily. I have new iron cross wheels for it and a mountain of parts for it. I’m not sure about the condition of all of the interior pieces because most of it is boxed up and may have had mice get in them. I have not opened it all up. I have 2 more hoods as well. I also think there may be 2 transmissions as well. I don’t know much about these cars but I will be happy to try and answer any questions you may have. I forgot to look at the odometer when I took these pics so I don’t know the mileage and I don’t live at the location that the car is at but next time I’m out there I can get the mileage. Feel free to message me with questions or for more pics and I will get back to you. 2 tires have air and 2 are flat I have not tried to add air yet but I may just put some used ones on to make it easier to roll. It has no battery in it at all now and I have not tried to start it.
