Up for sale is a 1978 Datusn 280z, 5 speed that I have been restoring for the past 10 years with my brother and father. She is located in CT and is over 95% complete. She just needs a few things to get her in full working order. She runs great and is ready for the road (currently registered and insured). Unfortunately, I do not have the time or space to complete her as life events have changed. You can have her ready in time for summer fun! Female owned and operated, would love to pass the torch on to another person who loves purple.

Original body has 94,000 miles before restoration.

Here is a list of items completed/modified:
• Rebuilt Engine by Carlquist with only a few hundred miles
• New exhaust, including manifold
• EFI to Carb conversion, Carbs restored by Vinny Bedini
• New tires with used slotted mag wheels
• New shocks, struts, bearing, bushings
• Rust repair on fenders, wheel wells, etc
• New clutch
• New windshield glass
• Removed Engine bay zbart and painted
• New battery and alternator
• Insulation under carpet, new rear deck carpet
• New radiator, hoses
• New speakers
• Front air dam, rear wing

Items left to complete:
• Washer hoses
• Vacuum tank for air vents
• Replace tire valves, didn't get replaced with new tires and they leak a little air
• Brackets for 240z bumper cover that is to replace old 280z one.
• Radio connection, original one works but cuts in and out on occasion
• A few nics in the paint, could use a touch up and buff

I had a second 280z and still have a ton of extra parts from that vehicle. All parts come with car, unless you don't want them. Parts include: 4 speed transmission, windows, dashboard, wiring harnesses, dashboard, seats, nuts/bolts, distributer etc.

All reasonable offers considered/best offer accepted. More interior pics to come.

AJ, which gearbox are you running in the car now? Four or five speed? (maybe I missed that).
