This Datsun 280Z got away, but there are more like it here.
This 1976 Datsun 280Z 2+2 was sold new at Boston Datsun in Massachusetts and was imported to Canada in 2019 by the seller. The car is finished in dark green over a black interior and powered by a 2.8-liter inline-six that was reportedly refreshed and fitted with an aftermarket camshaft, individual throttle bodies, and MegaSquirt engine management. A five-speed manual transmission was also installed during current ownership, and additional equipment includes 240z-style chrome bumpers, Cosmo Racing adjustable coilovers, 16″ aftermarket wheels, front and rear spoilers, fender-mounted side mirrors, and an aftermarket exhaust. This S30 2+2 is now offered with factory literature and Ontario registration in the seller’s name.
The car has been repainted its current shade of dark green and was fitted with chrome 240Z-style bumpers, front and rear spoilers, fender-mounted side mirrors, aftermarket headlights, and green-accented badges. The seller states that the weatherstripping on the doors, hood, and rear hatch has been replaced.
Aftermarket 16″ alloy wheels wear Datsun center caps and are wrapped in 205/50 BFGoodrich G-Force Comp 2 A/S tires. The suspension is equipped with Cosmo Racing height-adjustable coilovers and the seller notes the brakes have been serviced.
The seats have been reupholstered in black vinyl and matching replacement carpets were installed along with sound deadening material. Amenities include a heater, a Hitachi AM/FM radio, and an EFI controller located in the glovebox.
A three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and an 8k-rpm tachometer. The five-digit mechanical odometer indicates 27k miles, approximately 1k of which were added by the seller, though true mileage is unknown.
The 2.8-liter L28 inline-six has reportedly been refreshed and modified with MegaSquirt engine management, individual throttle bodies with foam air filters, a performance camshaft, replacement pistons and rings, an aluminum radiator, and an aftermarket exhaust system.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission sourced from a later 280ZX. Additional underside photos are available in the gallery below.
