This 1980 Datsun 280ZX shows 101k kilometers (~63k miles) following history in British Columbia, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, and it is said to have remained with its initial owner for approximately 40 years. It has been refinished in silver over blue and silver upholstery, and power is provided by a 2.8-liter inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission. The car has 14″ steel wheels with covers as well as an aftermarket air intake, a front spoiler, and a Sony CD stereo. The seller purchased the car in 2024, and subsequent service is said to have included replacing the radiator, accessory belt, fuel filter and pump, and ignition system components. This S130 280ZX is offered in Canada at no reserve with the owner’s manual, spare parts, a repair manual, and Nova Scotia registration.

The car is finished in metallic silver and was repainted circa 2020 along with the bumpers and side mirror caps. Details include a front spoiler, a vented hood, and a rear window wiper. Rust is noted near the windshield and fuel door along with a dent on the rear window trim, repaired chips in the windshield, and a cover plate for a previously installed right fender mirror.

The 14″ steel wheels wear covers that have been repainted black and silver, and the wheels were mounted with 195/70 Certified AllTrek tires in 2024 according to the seller. Stopping power is provided by power-assisted discs at each corner. The seller reports service in August 2024 included replacing the front brake calipers, pads, and wheel bearings as well as the lower ball joints, tie rod ends, and sway bar links.

The bucket seats are trimmed in blue cloth and silver vinyl and are joined by color-coordinated carpeting and door panels. Amenities include a rear window defroster, a Datsun-branded shift knob, and a Sony CD stereo. The center console lid and emergency brake boot were re-upholstered. Scratches on the center stack trim, missing screw covers in the dashboard, and faded dashboard trim are noted, and additional interior flaws can be seen in the photo gallery.

The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 210-km/h speedometer, a tachometer, a dual-scale fuel-level gauge, and a coolant temperature readout. A quartz clock is mounted in the center of the dashboard along with gauges for oil pressure and voltage. The six-digit odometer shows 101k kilometers (~63k miles), approximately 500 of which were added under current ownership.

The fuel-injected 2.8-liter L28E SOHC inline-six was fitted with an aftermarket air intake, and factory-rated output was 135 horsepower and 144 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. Service in August 2024 is said to have included flushing the coolant, rebuilding the fuel level sending unit, and replacing the radiator, thermostat, accessory belt, fuel filter and pump, battery, distributor cap and rotor, ignition coil, and spark plugs. The radiator fan shroud is missing.

The vehicle is being sold on its registration, which serves as the ownership document in Nova Scotia, Canada.
