S130 1980 280ZX 10th Anniversary Edition
Some mistakes were made in this video: the 1980 280ZX models were not turbo in any form — the first turbo Z was offered in 1981. Also, some specs were incorrect.
Description of the 1980 10th Anniversary Edition
In 1980, Datsun released a limited production (3,000 units) of the Special 10th Anniversary Edition 280ZX. The cars were based on the 1980 280ZX GL package with some additions.
Out of the 3,000 cars produced, 2,500 of them were painted gold and black with tan leather interior trim. The remaining 500 were painted in a red and black paint scheme with burgundy leather trim. Each 10th AE car had a numbered dash plaque.
The aluminum wheels had painted accents in either gold or black. The cars also had headlamp washers, upgraded stereo with surround sound, and came with a special cassette. Other features included automatic climate control, blacked-out exterior trim, tinted T-bar roof panels, and a tinted windshield.
