1983 Datsun 280ZX Turbo review from North America
"Great classic drivers"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced front ball joints and suspension bushings.
Like all Z cars there is some rust.
General comments?
These cars run better overall than most of the collectable classics, in fact they compete very well with many new cars in terms of driveability, and overall performance. The 74 240Z and the 81-83 280ZX turbo are the choice models.
They are much cheaper than a classic Mustang or Camaro, and more fun to drive.
RUST... they all have it!
