As with the S30, there were three trim levels for the Japanese market (Standard, Luxury and Luxury Plus) but now for the 280ZX two for export markets (Standard and Grand Luxury). 1980 also brought targa-top options to some markets.  Two special editions were available, the 280ZXR in 1979 which came with a large rear wing to (homogolated for SCCA Competition) and the 1980 10th anniversary edition.
