Datsun 280z Black Pearl Special Edition

1978 Datsun Z-Series

This is a 78 280Z Black Pearl Special Edition.Rare car. The black pearl was first available in 78 as a test color. Approx 1400 were made. Half in automatic and half in manual. Most of them were 4 speed. Only a few were optioned with the 5 speed. This car has the 5 speed manual transmission.The cars does run and can be driven but it does smoke when driven so it should be trailered when transported.The car sat for several years. I believe the valve seals got hard from sitting so I think that's why it smokes, but not sure.The body has some rust on it. On the outside, I replaced the driver side rocker and lower fender with patch panels from Tabco. They need to be finished. The passenger side rocker doesn't need replacing but I bought one anyway which will come with the car.The right front fender needs to be replaced. I bought a used OEM fender and is included. On the inside, there is one rust hole on the driver side floorboard. The rest of the inside is in good condition. No rust by or under the battery tray. No rust by or under the spare tire area.I put new brakes on it front and rear. I removed the center console to remove all the original carpet to inspect for rust. The carpet in a plastic bag. The console is included but not in the car at the moment.
I have a clean Idaho title in mu name and it's currently registered.
If you have questions just let me know. It's on a no reserve.
Thanks for looking.
