280ZX Spare tire Inflator, Rare

I have a tire inflator from a Datsun 280ZX. These came with the spare tire from the factory so you could inflate the spare when you need to use it. These are very rare. This one is in great condition, the paper cover is in decent condition you can still read it. It still has air inside of it, which means it was never used (you can't refill these). This is your chance to get a rare piece for your classic 280ZX (probably came in other 280Z and 260,240Z, but not sure), you can have it for car shows to show off, or actually use it if you need it. Will ship within 2 days. I can get better pictures if you want. Price is $60 shipped or Best Offer. I never saw any rules about how many posts I need to have or how much time until I can post in the For Sale section. Thanks for looking.

As far as I know, no one really carries their spare tire around anymore. Mostly just some fix-a-flat and some tire plugs. But good luck on the sale!

I actually still do carry the spare tire. lol And believe it or not. I have an original Datsun air can somewhere. And I think it is still unused. As for if I get a flat tire on the road. That is what my road side assistance is for. But yeah, good luck with the sale.

Thanks. Alot of guys have full original cars and if you have little stuff like this at car shows it gives you a couple good points. Alot of these still have air, but don't work very well. On this one, I tried it for a second on the spare and it aired up like I had compressed air on it

I hate to break it to ya' man, But that's all these canisters are is compressed air. (130psi if I remember right)

All the years I drove a 280ZX I carried the spare. I even traded up to a better looking spare when I found one. Never needed it though. I carried a small manual and electric air pump.

BTW, I have one of those same cans but I'm just keeping it as a collectible. good luck with the sale

Yeah, did I ever say they weren't? This is a collectable item if anything, and these will only get harder to find.

Not sure if you can ship contents under pressure.

I'm not trying to diss you, but you just made it seem like it was some magical canister for inflating tires.

Ground shipping only, no air.

Well it's a canister with compressed air in it for inflating the spare tire. It's almost 30 years old, and either people used them, threw them away, or it lost air pressure in those years. I would call that magical.

New price $45 shipped.
