Owner's Pitch
"Extremely rare one-owner 1977 Datsun 280Z with factory manual transmission. This Los Angeles survivor features a clean black interior, original rims, and fully functional A/C and heat. Showing just 21,000 miles, it starts and runs beautifully. A turnkey investment-grade JDM classic that is increasingly difficult to find in this condition."

Market Highlights
- The Heritage Premium: In 2026, the Datsun S30 chassis remains the gold standard for vintage Japanese sports cars. As 240Z prices move into the stratosphere, the 280Z has become the preferred choice for enthusiasts seeking a balance of classic styling and the improved drivability of fuel injection.
- Southern California Demand: Los Angeles is the global epicenter for Z-car culture. The absence of road salt in the region means local cars are often far better preserved than those in other climates, leading to a consistent 15-20% price premium for rust-free local examples.
- Mechanical Desirability: The factory manual transmission is a critical value-driver for this model. Many 280Zs were equipped with sluggish 3-speed automatics; a genuine manual car with working air conditioning represents the 'ideal' specification for both weekend canyon driving and long-term collection.
