Thinking about snagging this one...

1980 Nissan 280ZX

#375 of 3,000

Needs some work... but nothing like I've done to my current S130.

What'cha think?

nice looking, but is it me or are the fenders and doors shinier than the rest of the car? poor back end repair or recent front end repair?

Looks like a good deal. I'd have to see it in real life - pictures can be so deceiving...

I'd say it's been repainted...

Ok... going to see it on Sunday. I took a much closer look at the pics and it seems like there is a lighting issue with the colors. I'll know more in a few days. Keeping fingers crossed!

Well, it sold before I could have a chance to look at it. I guess the mystery will remain.

Looking at the pictures there were some issues - repaint and rust being the main ones...

This is what I've learned - one-in-a-lifetime deals come around about once every six months....
