1975 Datsun 280z???

Whatever you do, search EXTENSIVELY for rust. Early years of Datsun were clearly a year that Datsun did not know much about rust prevention. I have worked on quite a few in my restoration career and they take the cake for the "Most Rustworthy Automobile".

They can be fast little buggers though. Lots of fun.

Had a 79 280ZX 19 years ago, I agree with the above. MAJOR rust, rear fender wells were the worst (basicly gone). Ended up replacing with fiberglass quartes and front fender. Ran like a bat out of hell though (130+).

The first car I owned was a '76 280z 2+2 Fast, fun, gave my upper body a workout (no power steering). 2 cars later '81 300zx turbo. Die hard Z fan and for $600. not much concern about rust. Buy it and have fun!
