Well here we go pictures of my new car ! A true barn find, as it sat for more than 10 years.. stored indoors under a little cover.

It is a ZXR, and I want to do as little to it as possible to keep it stock .. and that is an awkward thigh coming from me ..
I twill need a respray and decals remade ..
Anyway the pictures !



As you can see the seats are completely rip free, and actually look really good. The odometer has close to 50K miles it might be 150 though.. but I will have to inspect more of the car to give an answer to that.



As you can see it looks not bad at all.. I know it is far from mint… but a very solid base.
It will need a new driver side door as it has a dent.
As it will need a respray and new decals I don’t see to much problems in that



A view in the early morning

It does have some surface rust spots but im not to scared of them .. I will address them by cutting them out and welding in new material!
To me this is a real gem ..


Thanks tony for the pics and all!

You guys can hopefully see it at the MSA

Now guess the prize

 

niiiice. whats with the tow bar? interior looks good. shouldnt take too much to get that baby tip top!

 

It was towed to its current place last night !

 

Thats a great find! its hard to find these cars in such clean shape never mind the fact its a ZXR

 

rare may be key word here, price in toys/projects is a personal thing, is not supposed to be a 6 digit odo? if yes, maybe the original miles..good find anyway.

 

Nope it is 5 digits for 79.. so it wil need closer inspection to reveal !

 

That's TonyD's back yard!! HAHAHA!! I recognize the VW Bus!

Oh, and the Z car 'storage' too...

 

Tony D. from zcar.com???

 

Awesome, those seats look so comfy.



The prize is that you get the vanagan for free?!!?!?!

 

Yup. Evidently, Frank and Tony have a "special" relationship...

 

haha no man he is just a buddy ! a good friend, we ship stuff up and down .. me shipping eurostuff or beers

 

so whats the difference between a 280zx-t and the ZXR?

 

zxr is lacking a turbo .. it is biscally a bare zx with wing and decalls, power nothing

This is pretty funny... ICICE9's 280zx is at the top of this page:

Wasn't the ZXR a pacecar for some race?

 

yeah there is a vid on google ( commercial) it has something like that it has a wing but it is not exactly a zxr

 

holy crap!! that is my car... lol

 

Was that approved by you?!

Wow, I knew you had quite a reputation here in the US but damn Issac . . .
You're Z is international, baby!!!

And where else could a guy with a Z like this be from? THE BAY AREA CALIFORNIA!!!

 

If Cali wasn't so damn overpriced, I'd be livin there too! In Cali, a 2000sq ft house is $800,000. In Utah, $800k will buy you an 8000sq ft mansion of your dreams.

Sorry... off topic rant.

 

That is an awesome find, I wish I could be that lucky!!!

 

yea . . .it is kinda pricey. But hey, look what it turned out!


Nice find on the ZXR, Frank. I'll see you and it next week at MSA.

 

ICE I THINK YOU FORGOT HOW SICK YOUR Z REALY IS ..MOST LIKEY IT IS BECAUSE YOU DRIVE YOUR 350 AROUND TO MUCH ; )...WELL AT LEAST DUDES IN OTHER PLACES STILL KNOW ...MABE THIS WEEK YOU WILL RUN THE ZX AROUND SOME AND TAKE A BREAK FROM THE 350... FOR A BIT HAHAHAAA. J/K


AWSOME PICS OF YOUR ZXR DUDE .SUPER NICE FIND ....CAN YOU TELL ME SOMETHING????..
ABOVE THE SHIFTER ON THE LITTLE PLACK... DOES IT SAY 280ZXR ?OR JUST 280ZX..OR JUST zxR....
I HAVE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT THIS FOR SOMETIME NOW ...DID THEY MAKE A PLACK FOR THE ZXR CARS LIKE THEY DID FOR THE 10th ANNY YEARS?or turbo cars?
