GarageScout Take

This 1978 Datsun 280Z has undergone a significant refresh centered on an overbored engine with aftermarket induction and a manual transmission.

Strengths

  • Overbored 2.8-liter engine with performance carburetor and intake manifold
  • Suspension hardware upgraded with KYB struts and Eibach lowering springs
  • Includes alloy wheels from the later S130 chassis

Watch For

  • Repainted from original red to metallic Leaf Green
  • Body fitted with aftermarket urethane front air dam and fiberglass rear spoiler
  • Interior re-trimmed in black vinyl
  • Replacement engine installation circa 2010 rather than original
