1979 Datsun 280ZX review from North America
"Hell on wheels"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering went out.
Had to replace relay circuits many times.
Speedometer cable was way off.
General comments?
Once I got it running, it ran like a bat outta hell!
Great handling.
Performs like a mini-corvette.
