1977 Datsun 280Z
1977 Datsun 280Z " 5-Speed Manual, 2006 Restoration Classic Cars of Sarasota is proud to present this 1977 Datsun 280Z, a classic Japanese sports car that represents the final and most refined evolution of the legendary first-generation S30 Z-car. Finished in Light Brown Metallic with a Brown interior, this 280Z combines timeless sports-car styling with the mechanical upgrades and drivability improvements that made the later S30 models so desirable. Power comes from Datsun's proven 2.8-liter inline-six, producing 149 horsepower through Bosch L-Jetronic electronic fuel injection. The engine is paired with a desirable 5-speed manual transmission, giving this Z the engaging driving experience enthusiasts expect from a classic sports car. Air conditioning, power-assisted front disc brakes, and a comfortable bucket-seat interior make it equally enjoyable for weekend cruising. The 280Z's styling reflects the original Z-car design language, with long flowing lines, a long hood, short rear deck, and unmistakable sports-car proportions. The S30 was heavily influenced by European sports cars such as the Jaguar E-Type and Porsche 911, while Datsun engineered the Z for a combination of performance, reliability, and everyday usability. This example received a restoration in 2006 and has recently benefited from new brakes and new tires, making it an appealing classic driver. With its 5-speed transmission, fuel-injected inline-six, sunroof, and iconic S30 styling, this 280Z offers an excellent blend of vintage character and usable performance.
