1981 Datsun 280ZX
Part of the legendary Z-car lineage, the 280ZX blended sports car performance with grand touring comfort. Powered by a 2.8-liter inline-six, it delivered smooth performance and helped carry the Z legacy into the 1980s.
The 280ZX was also known for its sleek wedge styling and T-top roof options, making it one of the most recognizable Japanese sports cars of the era.

Old Datsuns have a style that never really goes out of fashion. Simple lines, lightweight feel, and that unmistakable vintage Japanese car look that helped shape the early JDM scene.
There’s just something satisfying about seeing an older Datsun still out on the road doing its thing.

Here’s the story of the Forty Five Original Mile Datsun: The car came to me through an estate. The original owner was a Datsun mechanic who bought it new for his wife. She took one look at it and declared it the ugliest thing she’d ever seen. So he quietly parked it in their garage—and there it sat, untouched, until this year.
I found it online, where most of the comments were about racing it or tuning it. Instead, I called the seller and shared my history designing for the brand, my love for the model, and my intention to treat it not as a project car, but as a piece of modern art.
I like to think Mommalou sent her to me. Pastel yellow was her favorite color. 💛 @nissanusa #datsun200sx
Here’s something you truly don’t see every day: a 1978 Datsun 200SX with just forty-five original miles.
Andrew and I found her about a month ago and had her transported to Peter—the same brilliant restoration expert who rebuilt my Tercel Wagon. While she’d been stored in a garage since new, never filled with a full tank of gas and never even wearing a license plate, she still needed a careful cleaning. Peter’s been gently bringing her back, honoring exactly what she is.
Now she’s clean, preserved, and ready to move into the Holly House with the rest of our family.
We’re making our collection personal—built around our dreams.
Let’s build. @nissanusa @rewevans5 #datsun200sx #NissanSilvia @japaneseclassiccarshow
