THE NISSAN 280Z

THE NISSAN 280Z

The next of the Datsun Z-Cars to launch was the 280Z in August 1978. The new styling attracted interest, featuring the traditional long nose and short deck blended with sharper lines and a grille-less front end for a unified look. The 280Z was available as Z-L and Z-T, the latter equipped with standard air conditioning, power windows, and aluminum wheels.
