1983 Datsun 280ZX 2+2 T-Top 2.8

Summary:

280ZX, my favourite ride of all time!!

Faults:

The dash is cracked above the speedo, my cold start is failing, it has a clutch fluid leak inside by the pedal area, and worn out shocks.

General Comments:

I absolutely love this car. I live in South Africa, and my dad got his hands on an 1968 Camaro, and that's where my passion for muscle cars got started.

And now I've got an Japanese muscle car, absolutely no complaints except for the above. This car is in great condition, and has no rust on it. I am the youngest owner of the car, previous were 50+ years old, and they really looked after this car.

I have never raced it, and don't want to, because I LOVE this car, I don't wanna mess my baby up. The engine has a lot of kilometers on it, but damn this engine is one tough mother! It is still smooth, and sounds like a 6 cylinder symphony.

The only thing I have changed on her is the stereo; next are the speakers.

Guys, if you have a chance to get one, then do not even think, just do it.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Just a update on my car... fixed the clutch leak, sorted out the dash and overhauled the engine. Now the car is just wow! New cars can't compete. Once you drive a Z, then you will never want another car!

I went from a 1982 280zx to a Corvette C5 6 speed LS1. A logical progression.
