This 1978 Datsun 280Z is said to have been acquired from its original owner by the seller in 1989.
The 2.8-liter inline-six was later replaced in 1994, and work since 2021 involved retrimming the bucket seats in black vinyl in addition to changing the ignition cylinder, alternator, fuel injection control relay, and differential mounts.
