Market commentary
There isn't anything that rare or unusual about a 280Z, but the ZZZAP Edition is a rare, interesting marketing gimmick. Nissan/Datsun promoted the car with an arcade racing video game called "280 ZZZAP," in which the player drives a Z-car through a tricky road course at night. This was in 1977, 20 years before the first Gran Turismo game. The cars themselves are seriously rare, but we saw Mecum sell this one two years ago for $42,900. That was more than enough of a premium on top of a normal 280, but this price is excessive for a package that at the end of the day is still just a '70s sticker special.
