Summary
This 1978 Datsun 280Z has been driven only 500 miles since its 2017 purchase, though the 47,561 indicated miles are not believed accurate. It features a carbureted L28 inline-six with dual SU carburetors, Rota wheels, a Momo steering wheel, and has been backdated with 240Z bumpers, seat covers, and airbox. Extensive maintenance includes a new water pump, clutch slave cylinder, A/C compressor (though A/C is currently non-functional), and a resealed 5-speed manual transmission, with over $25k in records.

a410traveler The "240" treatment here is perfect. I really wouldn't change a thing. Pitch perfect exhaust note too.
