West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional barn-fresh (garage really!) find of this original southern California all original 1977 Datsun 280Z 2 Door 5 speed manual Coupe apart from one very good quality repaint in its original 'Light Blue Metallic' Color Code 305 color paint, 5 speed manual transmission, rare working factory air conditioning in the highly desirable rare 2 seat coupe body-style (not 2+2)!
The Datsun 280Z was built between the years 1975-78 and was the latest incarnation of the 240/260Z with the 240Z having been voted by 'Sports Car International' the number two car on the list of the 'Top Sports Cars of the 1970's'!
One of the most appealing Japanese cars ever produced, unfortunately they have largely disappeared from the roads almost entirely due to insurmountable rust issues of all the Japanese cars of this era making this 1977 model all the more rare and unusual in its completely rust free and original condition!
The 260Z had a longer stroke of 2.6L from its predecessors and and this particular example is the rarer and much more desirable 2 seat coupe version with a notably different and more attractive roof-line from the less desirable 2+2 models. This car also had the desirable 5 speed manual transmission and factory air conditioning!
This is a beautiful stock example with it's original engine and with all of it's original factory specifications and options intact including original 'Light Blue Metallic' color paint and Black vinyl interior! The odometer reads 42,930 miles but is believed to have turned over once as it read 9,234 miles when our physical records begin and when smogged in 10/2009 and has been consistent through all the years for the the records on file since that time. From looking at these extensive service records it is clear that at no time was any expense spared on this particular cars preventive maintenance, literally thousands and thousands of dollars spent on anything even remotely required to be attended to over the last 16 years.
All original owner's handbook, thick file of service records and recent CA smog certificate. The car has a razor straight body with no signs of any accidents, and super rare for these early Japanese cars, no bondo or rust!
This is a rare opportunity to own a very rare and internationally desirable 1977 legendary Datsun 280Z 2 seat coupe model - owned by obviously only mature southern California owners since new with the highly desirable 5 speed manual transmission and air conditioning!
