1978 DATSUN 280ZPEARL BLACK SPECIAL EDITION
This is a TRUE 1978 280Z Pearl Black Special Edition. [Paint Code 638]. One of the rarest of the early Z's. Only between 850 and 1200 of these cars were made. This is an Automatic making it even more rare. With the KY title reading 70. 38 and The odometer reading a little over 71. 00; it should be considered a collectors car. Not perfect and not a show car  yet. but with a little more work she would be.  
 
WATCH THIS VIDEO OF MY CAR AND THERE ARE OVER 80 PICTURES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS ADD VIA PHOTO BUCKET.  



Body:

-No accident damage anywhere. .

-Body seams are good.

-Car has been painted three times. It was silver when I purchased it. Sanded and returned to original Pearl Black. The paint work is mediocre. 6. 5 out of 10. No dirt or fisheyes in the paint. But the shop left scratch marks in the primer on the top. Left some small dings. and has some dry spray along bottom. There is one “heat blister” on the top about the size of a penny. Tried to photo these but they are very hard to capture. Even with these imperfections the car remains beautiful and receives compliments virtually every time I drive her.

-All trim items are good.

-All glass is nice. new rubber seals around doors and windshield and hatch .

-Original bumpers replaced with MSA Type 2 air dam with bumper trim. Rear shaved. Looks very nice.


 Mechanical:

 -Car drives good. Holds the road good. No bad habits. Tires could be re-balanced.

- The R/T racing Differential mount KYB Struts and polyurethane bushings take away the light toss-able feel in the rear. You can really drive this car fast and confidently with very little effort.

-Power brakes work great.

-Engine starts on the first crank. Idles quietly at 850rpm. and runs very strong. revs smoothly to redline. Has a small exhaust leak you can hear when cold. but diminishes when warmer.

- Automatic shifts smoothly.

- 15x8 XXR Black Chromium Racing Wheels. with New Kumho 225/50 Tires.

-Dash gauges all work fine.

-All lights exterior and interior work fine.

-Came with Factory AC. but compressor failed and was removed by previous owner. All the other pieces appear to be there.  

-Horn does not work.

 

INTERIOR:

 -Interior is mostly original and in good condition.

-New Seats and Carpet. Seats are from England with Embroided Z emblem and white stitch

-Dash looks good. Has been resurfaced in the past. and has developed some small cracks. The car is currently Garage kept

-Headliner is great.

-Original retractable seat/shoulder belts in good shape.

- Pyle Classic Radio. looks close to original. Has usb and sd card slot. The power antenna works fine.

-Blower and heater work fine.

- Comes with Warranty card and Owners manual. Clear Kentucky Title reading 70. 00 miles

-Original Z spare in trunk. has original tools and jack in bin behind seat.

-Comes with KY Tags. and 2 keys.
