The 1984 50th Anniversary model (where this dash made its debut) was an incredible looking car with some tech way ahead of its time.

Edit: The later model 280ZXs, 1983 models for sure and maybe some 1982, also could be had with digital dashes but they were a little different. I've actually got one in my garage right now that I'll eventually get around to restoring with a transplanted digital dash. Even more rare, it has a dashboard with no cracks!
