Used Car of the Day: 1980 Nissan 280ZX
Today's UCOTD is a1980 Nissan 280ZX that's a 10th anniversary edition and wearing the black and gold.
This car has been fully rebuilt, including with a rebuilt engine, according to the seller. It does have aftermarket tires and wheels, but the originals are available.
There's not a lot more to the ad copy -- I didn't even see a mileage -- but the price for this Mississippi-based car is $17,000 obo.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Sooooo hard to get past those awful black rubber US compliance bumpers. Ruined every nice car they were ever shipped with. Mostly cool foreign ones.
I had a first generation 280 Z (1977). I thought this second generation version did a pretty good job continuing the styling, adding more luxury and, notably, power steering, which the first generation did not have. I almost bought one when this model first came out, but the dealer mark-ups were crazy.
