I'm curious if anyone out there has a mint 280zx that they're considering selling. Preferably turbo, but not a necessity. Something that needs no work, and has no leaks or other problems. Anyone?

contact "rif" from kingston, ny on our member site. you will not find a cleaner 280zx with very low miles!

Michael - thanks, I actually did speak with him a couple weeks ago. He was supposed to email me some pictures but never did. Haven't heard back from him since.

I know of another 79zx with less than 25k miles......mint and smells new. Let me know if you would like contact info...price was 12k I believe. I have not seen a cleaner zx yet.

If your looking into a 280zx, IMHO the 82-83 turbos with T-tops is my # 1 choice. There was a white one on craigslist in R.I. or Mass. I forget. Seek, and you shall find.

*(Just a kwik note about RIF's car ~ it took a trophy at last year's Annual Z Car Show, against some really amaZing competition. This is a car worth pursuing if you want one of the best.

Just don't bang it up! )

Hi - Sure, if you could give me his/her contact info that would be great... it sounds much more reasonable than what I've been finding lately.

There is a 10th ann. for sale in R.I. CL, looks mint for $7,200. I would jump on this.

I called about that one last week.. as I mentioned in a different thread, it needs a whooole bunch of work ..and the last thing I'm looking for is a project.

I think its safe to say that any car that old is going to be a project. Or a beater that you're just going to run into the ground (if its even drivable).

Keep in mind, the only advantage of a 79 is the extra window switch and the speedometer that says 120, but can't do it. 79 was a dog year for power, hi emission engine. If you realy want a ZX, try and find a turbo with t-tops and leather, preferably the 82-83. 81 is ok, but comes automatic unless someone swapped it, and a slight bit less luxurios, if that suits you, but what ever suits your needs. Saw some in Virginia CL.

Hi Smashbar:
"Mint" may carry slightly different connotations/meanings for different people. If you are really looking for a 280ZX that is MINT in the Museum sense of the word - and one that carries a very interesting history... how about the prototype for the "280ZX Black Gold" promotional vehicles? All Black with Gold Pin Stripping done by Nissan Motors.

1979 280ZX 2+2 with 7K original miles. Purchased directly from Nissan Motors, by the man that produced several Bob Sharp Racing video's for BSR and Nissan. Bob Sharp gave the owner a set of Gotti Gold Wheels as a present, and they are still on the car.

$20K makes it yours... {if it is still available}.

Sorry for the bad picture...
FWIW,

hi all,

saw this on CL, posted in Pheonix, Arizona, might be worth a look! Probobly get it shipped for $800.....I'm getting ready to get my 300 painted.....fixed all the rust in the rear fenders. Running like a champ, except that my rear caliper is "frozen" shut, and making the car work harder.....got new brake pads and calipers to put on tomorrow...BigGar
