Very reliable 1977 Datsun 280z if you were to use it as a daily driver.

-5spd Manual

-176k original miles on the LE28E. All stock except for a cone filter installed. Fuel injected, not carb'd

-Newer paintjob

-Smogged and registered until November of 2011

-All records and papers since bought from the showroom.

-New speakers installed and amp. Old ones died out long ago. Still has factory radio with a custom AUX hookup for MP3 players. Very clean looking.

-New rotors and drums.

-New radiator. New hoses.

-Automatic door locks

-Has some small surface rust spots that I haven't gotten to take car of yet. Nothing serious and other than that, the car is 98% rust free!

I have taken great care of this car since I bought it. It looks really great for it's age and it's a real head turner. It gets compliments on the road all the time. The first owner was an older gentleman that bought it from the showroom back in 1977 and later sold it to a couple in 1978. The couple then sold it to years later to a lady, I don't remember when but its all in the paper work and records of the car that I have in my possession. That lady kept the Z in storage for most of the time she owned it. *have paper work for proof of storage* Finally, it was sold to an older lady here in San Diego who purchased it, pulled it out of storage, and brought it back to date. She had then let the Z sit for a while before I got to it. I then did the same and brought it back to date and has been running like a champ since. An amazing car but I need something more practical than a two seater. Married, so we need something bigger for our dogs and whatever other chores. I'm really looking for a good owner to take care of it since its all original for the most part.

Thanks for taking the time to look around. PM with any questions and I will get to them as soon as I'm able.
