WTF Bleach?
Someone has the exact same car as you and they are trying to sell it!

Seriously though why are you selling?

well, as long as you sell it someone who will NOT destroy it. IF they look shady, or maybe young, then pass. Make sure itll get the treatment it deserves. Or don't sell it. Either way haha
its still a SWEET car.

Funny, I sent him a message the other day because I saw a similar zx on Seattle.craigslist. Just had a stock nose and different rims. Thought that one was his and he was keeping the good parts, now this. He DID say his wasn't for sale...YET... Hmm... Maybe I'll have to take a trip to Des Moines. I gotta head out to Kent this weekend anyways...
lol

^ Are you really selling your ZX? You have put some much time and work into it. I know it would be hard for me, to sell a car. I grow an attachment in a short time with cars. Good luck with whatever you decide man.

Yes I'm really selling it. After a lot of consideration I decided to sell both my 280ZX and my truck. I'm going to replace them with one small economy car. All my car hobby money and time will then be focused on the Fairlady Z and I'll only have two cars to haul around instead of 3 total. I'm not even settled down into a house yet. All this moving around is tough with 3 vehicles and spreading my time between 2 projects is getting me nowhere. I also want something that I can haul kayaks with. I did consider keeping the 280ZX only but putting a trailer hitch on it or a roof rack. That would turn my Z into a sport utility.
...even if I did that, I'm limited to a 2-seater. My truck doesn't do that well on gas considering it is only a 2wd 4-cyl. I would expect more than 18/25 for a setup like that.

Dad keeps gripin about it, but thats jsut too bad!

Sell the CRX project and you'll solve two problems at once!

Well I can totally relate. Sometimes having too many vehicles can be a burden....especially now that you're a home owner and will have a bunch of other responsibilities/projects. I recently sold my 350Z...it was hard to do, but I was neglecting it and only putting 2K miles on it a year. It will be this kid who bought it's pride and joy. Sometimes downsizing and simplifying is good.
It'll get driven once a month to Kent and back. Lmao.

Plus 1, I would offer to store it. If Bleach wasn't so far away from me. I have plenty of yard space. Oh well, good luck to him. And hopefully he changes his mind, and keeps it.

Those Canadians will flag my ad if I place it in "their" craigslist.
Yes, it is the 2nd 280ZX I've sold in 3 years but I still have the Fairlady Z going on 9 years of ownership. Part of this change is to assure the Fairlady gets time and funding to completion.

I'm sticking with the old plan, as close to stock as possible.
I'm throwing on some aftermarket wheels but thats about it. I can also throw on some stock wheels for a show if the class i'm entering it in requires that.
