Is my 280zx rare?

My 280 is a 83 with the turbo hood rear disc brakes black and tan leather seats and it has a digital dash and different tail lights and aluminum and gold rims. I can't find any thing on the car other then the fact that it's the way it came form factory. Ps the car is not the turbo

Uh, nope. Just a normal ZX with some nice options.

Or maybe... "Black Goooooold!!!!"

A 280zxr or a citrus green 280zx is rare, all 82-83 280zx turbo and non turbo had the same hood. All 79-83 280zx had disc brakes. There was only 2 different types of tail lights including the ones that were a 3rd piece in place where the license plate goes.

yeah I had one just like it. you may be confusing the 280zx (s130) with the 280Z (s30)
similar but two different animals.

Don't let them get you down. It's been months since I've seen another 280zx running around town, our cars are rare enough. To try to exclaim that you own a rare car in a group of already rare cars is kind of silly!

Agreed! I can't remember the last time I saw one of these on the road. Enjoy the car OP!

Just remarking on the not unusuallness of the 280ZX - not that the 280ZX is extremely uncommon on the roads now adays...
