1975 Datsun 280Z review from North America
"Turns heads wherever I go"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My dad parked the car for a little more than 10 years (he's the original owner). As you can imagine, it came to be quite a bit of work when we finally decided to restore it. The worst part was the dashboard, but back then the plastics weren't as advances as they are now. That was really our biggest problem. Since we've had it restored and on the road, the only thing that we've had to fix are the rubber parts of the suspension as well as the front and rear shock assemblies.
General comments?
Amazing car. I love driving it and it truly is my dream car. Solid engine, solid tranny, solid suspension, solid everything! Amazing Car!
