Summary
This 1978 Datsun 280Z, recently out of long-term storage, features a 3.1-liter stroked L28 straight-six with Weber carburetors and a 5-speed manual gearbox. A 2000 refurbishment included a silver repaint, custom black leather interior with yellow piping, a body kit, and lowered suspension on 16-inch HRE wheels. The odometer shows just over 12k miles, though the seller notes a clunk during shifts and recommends new tires.
