10 Year Anniversary 280ZX
Well today is the day.
Back on December 4th, 1996 I test drove and purchased a 1982 Datsun 280ZX in Lynwood, Washington. This purchase forever changed the direction of all our lives.
This 280ZX was my first Z-car, but not my first car.
I had previously owned a 1981 Datsun 310GX and a 1985 Isuzu truck.
Spring 1997
Summer 1998
- paint job done in 1997, cow seat covers were in this car for the next couple years: I purchased my 2nd Z-car that summer; a 1975 280Z for $140
Summer 2000
- Changed wheels and installed the MSA air dam
Summer 2006
- Changed wheels
Bought at 132,000 miles and now it has 241,000

Right on Bleach, congrats on your Z ownership. I haven't owned a Z for that long yet. But not far from it, here is when I purchased my 3 Z's
1981 280zx: Bought in May 2000; have had it for over 6 years. Wrecked it in 2004, but will fix later.
1982 280zx: Got it in October of 2003; had now over 3 years. Got it on the road in February 2006. Currently my daily driver.
1983 280zx: Got it September 2006; Had it for 3 months now. Going to hopefully get it running here soon, after the first of the year.
Well I figured since it was an anniversary thread. I would share my ownership of my Z's. Anyway you definately have come a long way Bleach. Congrats on owning a Z that long.
