1983 Datsun 280ZX

Now for sale in Gateway Classic Cars of Houston is this awesome and powerful 1983 Datsun 280ZX Turbo 2+2 finished in a beautiful and fitting red with gray and black interior. The Nissan S130 is a sports coupe that was produced by Nissan in Japan from 1978 to 1983. You will know that car as the Datsun 280ZX here in the USA but other countries know the car as the Nissan Fairlady Z and the Nissan Fairlady 280ZX. 1983 marked the last year for the car as it was then replaced by the 300ZX the following year. Both 2 and 4 seat options were offered and this happens to be the more spacious 4 seater option. This turbocharged version offered a considerable boost in performance over the standard, naturally aspirated version of the car. The naturally aspirated 1982 Datsun 280ZX boasted a 0-60 mph time of 9.1 seconds, 1.2 slower than the Corvette of the same year. However, the 280ZX Turbo manual had a 0-60 mph of 7.4 seconds while the automatic managed to turn out 7.1 seconds. That compares to the Aston Martin Volante with a 0-60 mph of 8.9 seconds and almost seven times the cost and the Ferrari 308GTSi with a 0-60 mph of 7.9 seconds. The only cars in 1982 to beat the Turbo ZX were the Porsche 911SC and the BMW M1, which were considered by most to be exotic cars. In this car, you will find many modern features such as air conditioning, AM/FM radio with cassette, spare tire, T-Tops, cruise control, power steering, power brakes power locks, jack, seat belts, kill switch and aluminum wheels. The air conditioning blows cold and the heat blows hot! The CarFax shows 3 owners since new. It started life in New York and moved to Arizona back in 2002. It then moved to Texas in 2010 where it has been ever since. The car is ready to drive home. Don’t miss your chance to own an increasingly rare and desirable Japanese legend.
