Im looking to find a 280zx. Doesnt have to be in super shape but not a total rebuild either. Must at least be drivable and hopefully in my general area of the country. I live in western Kentucky. My email is dkelsey@hcis.net

Welcome to Zdriver!

Have you looked in the Zdriver marketplace? Also try www.ebay.com , www.craigslist.com , www.autotrader.com or any other local classifieds. Our member Dorifto is tossin his 280zx... but um, he's out here in Utah.

Dorifto

Yeah, umm ...

... you don't want my Z. Unless you want something to tube-frame and put a fiberglass remake body of a Z on it.

Hey thanks Dorifto and NismoPick for the info. 10 days after my post and after several years of looking around for just the right 280zx to rebuild I came across one in Clarksville Tennessee (about 2 hrs from my home). It needs quite a bit of work but is what I was looking for. I will post a picture of it soon. Thanks again for the help. Im sure my weekends will be filled with salvage yard excursions as well as web searches for rubber seals, moldings, t-tops, seats etc.

Is it a turbo? If you can I would suggest finding a Turbo model, unless that is not what you're looking for.

Would have loved to have a turbo but I was delighted to just find one in relatively good condition after a few years of searching around in my area of the country. Might turbo it at a later date.

I found one of my Z's in a junk yard. another is a repair shop. Found two more (N/A, and a Turbo) in another junk yard, ain't got them. But hoping maby some day, That turbo looks great. Found a 77 280Z down the road a bit, (freind now own's it) and found a 80 280ZX slick top at another junk yard, (freind now own's it too) Back when i was searching for a 280ZX, I could not find one for nothin, gave up. about a year later ran into 2 of them. One had weed's growing all around it, and some in it. I now own that one. And love it. No one around me had ever heard of a 280ZX till i brought one home. now ppl around me own them also. I was freaked out when my pearnt's told me they had one back in the day. And I was brought home from the hospital (when i poped out) in a 82 280ZX T-Top N/A.

wow, thats awesome man. yeah I will never forget adam and I were right there on prince st., where main st. runs it to it, and a cop drove by, then the light turned green and we gunned it, I was already past hastings, and adam was still burning out at the stop light! he finally got traction, but the cop got to him before he could get anywhere! haha the last thing he said to me was "CLEVELAND'S CRAZY.... BUT SO IS LUBBOCK!!!" i was like "....okay."

hey do you know Terry and Amanda? I used to hang out with them, and their Evo's. I don't see how I never met you. My best friend (Todd) has a black Z32 twin turbo'd, that we used to race through clovis. thats been about a year ago. We were both @ cannon for a while. I had one of the only 2 350Z's there at that time.
