To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Datsun 240Z's debut in America, the Japanese automaker released a limited-edition 280ZX variant for the 1980 model year. Just 3,000 examples were produced, including 2,500 in gold and black and 500 in red and black. All came with a tinted glass t-top roof, and each came fully loaded with options like gold or black alloy wheels, headlamp washers, leather seating, surround sound audio and automatic climate control. Anniversary Edition models also received special badging, as well as a commemorative dash plaque with the order number of the car's build. This 60,000 mile "garage find" 10th Anniversary Edition 280ZX, for sale on Hemmings.com, is said to wear its original paint and is described as damage and rust free. It's a five-speed version, too, so its next owner will need to walk a fine line between enjoying the car and preserving its pristine condition. From the seller's description:
