This is the twin of the one I bought used in 1982, same color, 2+2 and 5 speed. I had a 260Z prior and the ZX was quite a step up, more comfy for sure. I wanted the 2+2 version so we could fold down one seat for our skiis and still carry three of us up the mountain. I recall that square dot-matrix display would show "OK" during startup but if you pushed the check button it would show 5 or 6 systems, for example wiper fluid or bulb working status. It was slightly high tech for it's day.
I used to have this datsun 1983 when i was a young kid adult around 1995 , i used to hang out in long beach well tdo show and watch youngkids racing...
Odd to see the "pre flight" check system on a 79 as well as not having the highback buckets. Those scoops on the hood too. Great looking car, would be nice to see what it sold for. My guess is 15~18K. What holds it back is the 2+2 and no turbo, but those came later.
i remember when this cars were new and its look like 10 years old car compare to the rest , in my country they look like 10 year old car compares to the rest of europeans at that moment ,,,it was from new allready retro ...amazing car love it
I had a brown one just like this for 14 years except mine was manual. Only probably was having to replace master cylinder from time to time. I learnt how to do it myself so it was not a big issue. I miss the car and would love to have one again. ENJOY
Hi CaptainBigJim, I noticed your comment and happen to have a 79 280ZX Just like the one in this video and it Is a 5 speed. Very good Condition 91,000 original miles and For Sale. Look at my videos on my TH-cam and let me know if You might be interested. Philip Olah.
That car probably came with an automatic transmission as every 2+2 I've ever seen did. Check the VIN code. The transmission change was probably to convert it to the five speed Manual. The dealership is the only place I'd trust to do that work.
Not too much of a fan of the 2+2 280zx. I would,nt want to ride around town with three people or more in a small car like the Datsun 280zx. Just isn,t right.

This car is really immaculate condition my childhood car saw in nissan Showroom in KSA in 1982.

Shame that it’s a 2+2. The coupe has much prettier roof lines
