This 1977 Datsun 280Z pairs classic Z-car styling with thoughtful updates and recent mechanical attention. Powered by the 2.8L L28 inline-six with Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection, it delivers smooth performance and improved drivability over earlier carbureted Z-cars. A manual transmission and 3.90 gearing keep it engaging from behind the wheel. It rides on 16-inch Konig wheels, giving it a period-correct but slightly modernized stance.
The driver-focused interior reflects the model's blend of sport and comfort, with supportive bucket seats, clear instrumentation, and a cockpit layout designed to keep controls within easy reach.
Recent work completed by Ian's Speed Shop in Scranton, PA, ensures the car is ready to drive and enjoy. Updates include a new alternator, battery, intake, distributor, and long-tube headers. The braking system has been thoroughly refreshed with new lines and fluids, new front pads and rotors, and new rear drums and shoes.
A well-preserved example of a true Japanese sports car icon, this 280Z combines period-correct looks with refreshed mechanicals - ready for its next chapter on the road or at local shows.
