This Datsun 280Z got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1977 Datsun 280Z was repainted green prior to the seller’s acquisition in 2014, and its 2.8-liter inline-six was subsequently fitted with an AMP EFI electronic fuel injection system and ignition coils, a ProTunerz intake manifold, a cold-air intake pipe, and an MSA tubular header. Shifting is via a four-speed manual transmission, and additional equipment includes 16″ Konig wheels, Koni shocks, Eibach springs, four-wheel disc brakes, HID headlights, slim chrome bumpers, black vinyl upholstery, a leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel, and a JVC CD stereo. This 280Z is now offered with a repair manual, a car cover, service records, removed parts, and a clean Wisconsin title in the seller’s name.

Previously finished in blue, the car is said to have been repainted in its current green with white over-the-top stripes in 2006. Exterior details include aftermarket front and rear spoilers, HID headlights, slim chrome bumpers, hood vents, a gray tail panel, and a single polished exhaust outlet. Rock chips are visible on the front fascia and the left door has chipped paint. A cloth car cover accompanies the car.

The three-spoke steering wheel wears an aftermarket wrap and frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,400-rpm redline. A centrally mounted clock is joined by auxiliary gauges, while an AEM air/fuel ratio gauge is placed adjacent to the parking brake lever. The five-digit odometer shows 77k miles, approximately 20k of which were added under current ownership.

The 2.8-liter L28E inline-six is equipped with an AMP EFI electronic fuel injection system and ignition coils, a fuel pressure regulator, a ProTunerz intake manifold, a cold-air intake pipe routed behind the front grille, and an MSA tubular header. A 2016 dynamometer report taken before the fueling and exhaust upgrades were fitted is pictured in the image gallery below, and an oil leak is noted by the seller. An oil change was carried out and the battery was replaced in September 2023.
