Datsun 280Z V8 RestoMod 383 Stroker V8 1975

Description
The 1975 Datsun 280Z is a cool and appreciating Japanese classic. But this one also adds a ton of custom attitude with a performance upgrade that includes a 383 stroker V8, overdrive transmission, and a custom look that instantly announces this one is something extra special.
A nice shade of burgundy and a nice metallic element love to draw extra attention to this special coupe. But that's far from the only custom touch. This has a sporty and sleek front end with a custom front bumper package that looks like it came straight off a racetrack. There's a similar style out back where the protruding factory rear bumper has been replaced by a sleeker color-matched unit with plenty of speedy style. And the wheels have not only been upgraded to 15-inch units, but they have the polished look of performance. The idea on this total package is to give you that classic Z-car look while also announcing this one is something extra special.
The interior retains a lot of the classic Z pieces that most of us love. The high-back front bucket seats have a very stock feel, right down to the European-style venting. The Z has the occasional-use rear seat that also folds flat for extra cargo space. The center stack still has the factory air conditioning controls (will need components and servicing to return the function) and the stereo is now an AM/FM/CD unit with Bluetooth. You get the classic Datsun three-spoke sported steering wheel, and beyond that are the deeply recessed speedo and tach in their own individual pods. The B&M floor shifter and AutoMeter Sport-Comp auxiliary gauges are an instant signal of something special under the hood.
There's nothing Japanese about the engine bay. That's the unmistakable appearance of an American V8. And it has the hardy look, right down to those polished fabricated valve covers. This is a 383 cubic-inch stroker motor that's built with go-fast goodies like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, upgraded intake, and shorty headers that add power while contributing to the rumble of the dual exhaust. And this ultra-tidy engine bay also reveals nice supporting components, like the ProComp wires and Griffin aluminum radiator w/electric fan. It's a fully detailed package, right down to the work light that's still mounted to the inner fender. The V8 upgrade is paired with a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission that's built to handle the extra torque as well as provide overdrive comfort. The reason why you use a Z-car for an upgrade like this is because you get to take full advantage of its sharp-handling fully-independent suspension. Plus, there's power steering, power brakes, front discs, and modern BE Goodrich gForce tries.
Complete with owner's manual, this is the custom Z-car that's distinct, powerful, and absolutely cool. So don't let this deal slip away. Call now!

About Datsun
Once upon a time in the mystical land of Japan, there was a small, unassuming car company called Datsun. Legend has it that the name "Datsun" was created when someone dropped a bunch of Scrabble tiles and thought, "Sure, that'll do!" Datsun started with small, quirky cars that made you wonder if they were more suited for a toy store than a car dealership.In the 1950s, Datsun had a brilliant idea: "Let's try our luck in the American market!" They shipped over the Datsun 1000, a car so tiny that even a clown could drive it comfortably. Americans scratched their heads but soon fell in love with its compact cuteness. It was like adopting a small, four-wheeled puppy.
As the '60s rolled in, Datsun unveiled the 240Z, a sports car that could outrun a samurai in flip-flops. It had the speed of a cheetah and a design that turned heads faster than a ninja on roller skates. The 240Z became an instant classic and showed that Datsun was more than just quirky little cars.
In the '70s, Datsun dropped the 510, a sedan with the agility of a ninja and a suspension so smooth, it could make you believe you were floating on a cloud. Families across America hailed it as the car that could carry everything – from groceries to grandmas – without breaking a sweat.
But the real magic happened when Datsun revealed the Datsun 510 wagon. It was like Mary Poppins' bag, fitting more stuff than seemed humanly possible. This wagon was an enigma, a mystery, and America couldn't get enough.
Then, in the '80s, Datsun pulled a fast one and changed their name to Nissan, leaving us all a bit befuddled. But they continued making fantastic cars that were zippier than a sushi chef on a Saturday night.
And that's the whimsical tale of how Datsun – or should I say, Nissan – took over the American market, one quirky yet lovable car at a time.
As for the most influential Datsun models and their specs:
Datsun 240Z: The 240Z was a sports car sensation. It featured a 2.4-liter inline-six engine, producing around 150 horsepower. With rear-wheel drive and a sleek design, it was a blast to drive and a style icon of its time.
Datsun 510: The Datsun 510, available as a sedan and wagon, was loved for its handling and durability. It typically came with a four-cylinder engine, producing around 96 horsepower, and was known for its agile suspension.
Datsun 510 Wagon: The Datsun 510 Wagon was like a Tardis, with a deceptively spacious interior. It shared the same engine as the sedan and provided exceptional versatility for families on the go.
These Datsun models left an enduring legacy with their quirky charm, performance, and practicality, making them cherished classics in the hearts of car enthusiasts and families alike.
Oh, one more thing...years after BMW made a copy or the 510 and decided to call it e30. Strange world!
