Highlights
- The attached Carfax history report starts in 1990 and lists no accidents since, though it contains several gaps. It also shows that this coupe has been California- and Arizona-owned since at least 1990.
- A partial list of notable equipment reported by the seller includes removable T-tops, cloth upholstery, air conditioning, and a cassette player. Notable modifications reported by the seller include aftermarket exhaust headers and an aftermarket exhaust system.
- An invoice pictured in the gallery shows that a rebuilt engine was installed in April 2017 at 181,562 miles.
- Datsun released the second-generation Z (known as the S130 internally) for 1979. Called 280ZX, it arrived as a more upscale coupe that leaned towards the GT side of the scale thanks in part to a long list of available features; it was also wider than its predecessor in order to offer a more spacious cabin. Production ended in 1983.
- Power comes from a 2.8-liter straight-6, rated at 145 horsepower and 156 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 3-speed automatic transmission.
