1982 Datsun 280ZX review from North America
"Still fun after all those years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems, Had a rust problem. I had an off the frame restoration.
General comments?
The car is blast to drive. It is 24 yeras old and I on a reglar basis outrun 5.0 Liter mustangs. The car is a fast as it was. It is extemely resposive. Everthing it the car is orginal so the Radio is not great. I wish I bought a 24) when it came out instead of my 1976 Olds. I think the style of my 280 is better than to new 350.
