lamp.i.ams 1983 Datsun 280ZX

This is my 1983 Datsun 280zx. It's got a 2.8 liter inline 6 with a 5 speed manual transmission and 217,000 miles on the odometer, still going strong. It's in excellent shape, inside and out, with only a few minor problems. It's a blast to drive!! I bought this car down in Fort Worth, Texas on November 20, 2009 and drove it all the way back to Maine. 2,100 miles, and it made the trip just fine. This is the first car I've owned that doesn't have any rust!

Since winter is just about here, there probably won't be any updates to this page until spring when I can get to work on it. But for now, enjoy the pictures!

The Z is officially put away for the winter. I was able to fix the power steering problem (I thought the pump was bad, but it only needed fluid). I topped off the coolant and took it for one last spin.

It had collected a little dust, so these pictures aren't perfect... but the car cover goes on tomorrow, so this is it until spring  :/   I am really enjoying my new camera, though :)
