After searching for almost 2 years, I found this 280ZX from its original owner in Northeastern Florida. I was looking for an all original car in this generation with no rust or rot. This is tough to find.
The car was purchased new 6/30/83 from Bradenton Datsun City at 1611 Cortez Rd, in Bradenton, FL. This car was driven and well maintained. It was always garaged which is evidenced by the lack of rust.
I also have photos of the car before and during its cosmetic restoration. (that tells the true story)
The previous owner was very proud to have won many car shows and contests in the original class.
When I bought it, after careful consideration, I decided to have it professionally painted in its original color. We left the jams and engine compartment original so it could be appreciated. (notice the firewall and under side of the hood)
We also replaced the interior, all of the rubber suspension components, tires, fuel filter, and fuel injectors. There are no leaks.
My mechanic loves this car and says he has never seen one this nice.
It runs and drives great, and draws a ton of attention from everyone everywhere we take it. It needs nothing as is ready to drive and show.
Please call or message if you have any questions. 239-410-7796
I have the original window sticker, build sheet, sales brochure, and title that will come with the car.
Bid with confidence. Its not perfect, but about as close as you can get without getting crazy.

Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014If there's a trend in the auto industry we can firmly get behind, it's the small, light and affordable rear-drive coupe. The positive critical reception to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins has encouraged other manufacturers to look at building their own rear drivers, and even a few to show actual concept cars based on the idea. The Chevrolet Code 130R from 2012 and more recently, the Nissan IDx twins that were first shown at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show both come to mind, as does the brand-new Kia GT4 Stinger Concept.
Nissan trotted out the IDx Nismo and the IDx Freeflow for another showing in Detroit and we'll admit to being totally smitten with both cars. Again. The duo draw inspiration from the iconic Datsun 510, a lightweight, affordable rear-driver that remains a cult favorite decades after production ended.
Now, a report from our friends at AutoWeek reveals that we may, possibly, hopefully see a production IDx, provided fans make a strong enough case for it. "It's in the plan," Nissan product boss Andy Palmer told AW. According to the report, Palmer said the IDx is "into the first sage of the development process. The next stage is project validation and then looking at the business case. It's no one's intent to waste millions of the company's money, so obviously we have a good feeling about this one."
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
