Ladouceur Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hey, there is a 1980 Datsun 280zx anniversary edition for sale right near my house, its #143, its the Red and Black one, just wondering how rare of a car is this to find? he is not asking to much for it either, 3,000CAD 210k on the ODO.

Guest duckyz Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I don't know the exact numbers off the top of my head, but the red and black ones are more rare than the gold and black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 If it's in good shape it could be worth a decent chunk of change, but with that kind of mileage and considering your locale I wouldn't expect it to be too great. Usually the anniversary editions are only worth a considerable amount of money if they're low mileage, well kept and original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil280zxt Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Here's someone who's on some serious medication selling one on EBAY for $25,000. You would think for that price, it woud still have the original steering wheel... There were 500 red / black 10th anniversary editions manufactured. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-280ZX-1980-DATSUN-10TH-ANNIVERSARY-280ZX-BLACK-RED-8291-MILES_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6187QQihZ006QQitemZ160184279576QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregkring Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 According to the ad he has the original steering wheel along with most other parts short of the tires and battery. Still don't think it is worth that much right now, but who's to say it won't be worth much more in a few years. There is no duplicating an original low mileage car.

Mack Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I sold a black/red 10th anniversary car 6 years ago for $3500. it wasnt a creampuff, but it wasnt in bad shape either. worht picking up just because its one of the rarest Z cars ever made with only 500 black/red ones being produced.

Pop N Wood Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 IMO not rare enough. That is one pimped out product of the 70's. I like them in primer gray with no interior comforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger.svoboda Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 probably not even worth $3000 us these days. unless you find some seriously deranged collector who just won the lottery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 hmmm, if it was really really clean and well kept it might be worth it, but if you're looking for anything other than an investment I'd skip it. It's the rarest color options (i've never seen it in person, and I see an aniversary 280ZX at least several times a month around here), so as soon as you start modifying it you're gonna devalue it. I guess it's nice for the novelty factor, but I'd puposely avoid them myself as I'm the kinda guy that's looking to heavily modify a vehicle, and there's no point in doing that to a collectable car that'll be worth something someday. And with the way Z prices have been going, the day that those cars are wortha pretty penny should be within most of our's lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
