Description:

Well, it's time to reluctantly let my baby go.
Restored burgundy 1978 280Z coupe in superb condition. Has been garage-kept since 2008 and lovingly maintained. Fully rebuilt L28 engine with approximately 27,000 miles on the rebuild, new Nissan OEM fuel injectors, many other new parts including clutch, AFM, starter, alternator, wheel bearings, brakes, wheel cylinders, struts, full kit of new polyurethane bushings. 5-speed transmission still shifts great, fully working OEM Hitachi AM/FM stereo, rear window louvers that mount underneath the rear window seal, new carpet, soundproofing, the floorboards and every interior piece of sheet metal I could reach were treated with POR-15, repainted 2 years ago in the original Nissan 618 Wine Red Metallic color with all new emblems, original and fully functioning OEM antenna, all gauges work including the clock, which still keeps great time, working factory A/C that blows 42 degrees cold, new heater control valve, interior is excellent condition, new console, headliner, working dome light, door panels are almost like new and still have 95% of the plastic chrome trim, full face dash cover, Motorsport upgraded dash bulbs. The vinyl basketweave seat covers are 100% original and in overall excellent condition. The foam in the driver's seat and back was replaced and feels like new. Black Pearl sport mirrors and more. Yokohama Avid tires still have a lot of tread left.
The only issues are one small rust spot visible from underneath on the passenger side floorboard and a few bubbles on the hatch lid. Like most classic Z cars, the rear window defroster grids need attention.
I have driven her almost daily for the last 2 years and always get compliments and thumbs up. She's always been extremely reliable with the exception of the times the starter and then the original alternator went out. The engine is nicely broken in and she really runs great. Regular oil changes with Castrol motor oil. I have driven her like a Z car wants to be driven but have never ever abused her. She has been well maintained by several excellent Z car mechanics, including Doug Bakke at Awesome Z here in Houston.
It has been a wonderful ride and, as you can tell from all the work I've put into her, I intended to keep her forever. However, my personal situation has recently changed and I need to pass her on to someone who will love and care for her, and keep her on the road for the next 30 years or more.
Please feel free to email me with any questions or if you would like to see more photos. I will also be happy to make the car available for inspection by any local forum members here in Houston.
