Hi my name is Andrew and I am going to look at a 82 280 today. The guys basically said the only thing it will need eventually is a new starter (works right now but has been acting up? said it would be about $60 bucks) and the cruise control doesnt work and just needs a chip?

I have loved Z's ever since my brother has a 300 back in the day but never got one. I know nothing about the 280's. it has 138K miles and looks to be in good shape, although its a tan/black combo which I am not a big fan of. He said He could do $2500. Good deal?

Any advice would be welcome as this will be my only car, aka things to look out for. Just looking for a fun daily driver, and I am a fan of older cars. I just sold my 83 Alfa Romeo Spider which had been my daily.

Thanks for the Help.

 

look for rust. floors, batt tray, spare tire well, frame rails, ect.

2,500 is a high if its not a really nice stocker car

 

Thanks for the help. Here are some pics if they could help price it.

 

looks clean

check for rust and as long as its runs well id say go for it

 

WOW! it does look really nice, like skib said look for rust...that would be your biggest concern. If you get a chance get more pictures, like the engine bay and the rear? and welcome to Zdriver!

 

If it's as rust free as it looks, it's a good deal...to me anyway..lol
