a recent addition to the locl scrap yard is a near perfect 82 280zx turbo 2+2 auto less then 100k miles, now i can get it for less then $700, but the question is. should i? i meen i currently have nothing but the bike for transportaion and i live in a smogless county so no smog for me, ill go talk to the yard operator tomorrow or tuesday and get a price, but it is gonna be cheap.

 

I'd go for it. I mean, yeah, its 2+2 so its a little heavier than the coupe, and its turbo, so gas mileage might take a hit. especially if you're like me and can't keep your foot out of it.

 

A scrapper 280zxt for $700? That's steep... I've bought 3 280zx turbos for no more than $400 each... one was clean as hell, all three had good titles.

 

you have no idea how clean it is, like the motor looks like it just rolled 0ff the assembly line and everything has that light gold colour to it.

 

why is it at a scrap yard then?

 

its a 2+2???

 

and auto. lol. good point.

 

lots of weird **** ends up hear, the junkyard owner owns three different towing companys, so just about everything in the desert eventually ends up here.

 

turbo auto has that rare oil cooler! get it

 

You should get it... did you sale you 300zx???

 

to tof300zx i can get s130 oil cooler all day long, but i was thinking more of turning it into a daily for a while and making it my street demon bitch.

 

Do it broseph!

 

do it bro. 700 isnt bad. maybe u can talk him down to 600/500 then i say get urself an S30 shell, and you know what do do from there... unless this car is THAT NICE where u can tear it down, i mean, it is a 2+2 auto after all

 

$700 is just an estimate, if i can grab it for $200 or even $400 im gonna try my hardest to get it.

 

im gonna go get a price, be back in a couple

 

wwwww000ttt!!!!!!

 

I can't wait to hear what he's asking for it.

My vote also goes into getting it and doing a turbo swap into an s30. Then part the rest of it out to recoup the cost of everything.

Any rust at all?

 

Get it.... if it has the rare digital dash grab it ! run and laugh like a wild man after u get the title in your hands... lol even 700 isnt too bad.. i paid 400 for a digital dash 1983 280zxt 2+2 5 speed... but didint run..

 

^^^ Only 83's had the digi dash option, this one is an 82.

 

ewww...Digital Dash. That thing sucked on sunny days. That sun would hit it and you could barely read it, that and the digital tach is horrible.

 

swap that into a 2-seater S130 with a 5-speed.... BAM!

 

ok, motor runs turbo is nice and tight, 86K miles $250 for a COMPLETE motor. and they will let me pull it, so i know it wont get beet around. the body turns out it was hit in the back last night and well, the body is done....

 

so between when it went to the yard and just now, it got smacked in the back? or the accident is the reason that it's there?
at any rate good deal. you could definately turn around and sell that engine for more then that on ebay

 

my guess is, that they where moving another car and smacked it with the forklift.
