Guess what I'm getting?

Everyone I came accross a hell of a find , and I'm getting it for hella cheap. I don't know the year just yet, but I know it's a 79, 80, or 81 Fairlady Z! I'm getting it for 500 bucks! The body is straight, motor and tranny are there, automatic tranny unfortunately, t tops, 1 cracked one and some pretty nice wheels in need of new shoes. Interior is going to need some work though. I will have pictures up around next weekend! I'll keep ya'll posted. L8rZ.

You're way out in Nebraska, or I would trade your cracked t top for a low price. I have an 81 ZXT and I will not be using the body.

Good find..

You don't know what it is though? 79,80,81?

Good deal. I just got the '81 ZXT for $600 in running condition and a new turbo. THe deals are out there right now. Just have to get lucky.

Well actually bro I'm stationed out in 29 palms, CA right now. I don't know the year because I'm getting it out of a junkyard and they don't know either. I'll find out when i decode the vin I guess. lol

Is it a 2-seater or a 2+2? I've yet to actually see a 2-seater Fairlady 280Z. I know of 3 different people with Fairlady 280Zs and they're all 2+2 models.

I wonder if its that same red 2-seater Fairlady we've seen change hands a few times. If so, its a rust bucket. still cool though!

Fairlady's FTW!

K guys here's a bit of an update. It's mine. I'm puttin some payments on it but it's mine. It is a two seater and it has the 2.0 L20. I still don't know how to tell the year. I have the vehicle serial number. It's silver with crappy interior. I'll get pics up next weekend
