Winner of Senior First Place at the AACA National car show in 2023, this 1982 Datsun 280ZX in Regatta Red demonstrates the purity of original Japanese engineering. The hatchback coupe features clean proportions with original panels that have received professional repainting while maintaining factory specifications. Chrome trim accents the sporty profile, complemented by 14-inch wheels wrapped in 195/70R14 tires. Glass surfaces remain clear throughout, and light lenses maintain excellent visibility and clean appearance.
Black vinyl bucket seats anchor the interior with original components preserved throughout the cabin. The center console houses a floor shifter for precise gear selection, while the AM/FM cassette player provides entertainment. Air conditioning keeps the cabin comfortable, and power steering reduces effort at the wheel. The dashboard maintains its original configuration with clear gauge visibility.
The 2.8-liter inline-six engine provides power through electronic fuel injection to a 5-speed manual transmission. Four-wheel disc brakes provide stopping capability with power assist for reduced pedal effort. Factory exhaust configuration with single outlet maintains original specifications. Recent comprehensive maintenance includes fresh oil, new spark plugs, and complete servicing of transmission and differential components. Power brakes complement the overall mechanical package for operation.
