The Datsun 10th Anniversary 280ZX Black Gold

The Datsun 10th Anniversary 280ZX "Black Gold" kicked off the 1980s in style. This car was so extravagantly equipped that it left virtually no room for additional options. Once you purchased one, the only decisions left were choosing which women to have in the passenger seat and which mustache conditioner to use in the morning.

As for the actor in the commercial, his current whereabouts and activities are unknown. One could imagine him living a lavish lifestyle, perhaps owning a chalet on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. During weekends, he might entertain retired showgirls from Reno, while on weekdays, he promotes his illegitimate sons’ Doobie Brothers cover bands. However, this remains purely speculative.

Warning: The Black Gold song will haunt you after you have watched this commercial and the only cure is a long ride to the Jersey Shore in your 280Z.
