1979 280ZX Slick Top

I have a 1979 280zx 5-speed I have to part with. Too many projects now, lol. The odometer says 29,XXX miles. Could be 29k or 129k, not sure. I do know that it runs REALLY well for what it is. I put in on a chassis dyno to see what kind of numbers it was making. It made around 115 HP and 140TQ to the wheels. That is all it was rated at in 1979 when it came out. It is silver with a black interior. The driver side seat has split at the seams, but did not tear. The seats are vinyl. The dash has the normal cracks. I installed a new clutch about 3 months ago. I am going to install new rear calipers this weekend. I have installed the conversion harness and relays just below the windshield on the passenger side. These relays provide power to 2/3 of the fuse box. I will also be installing a new passenger side frame rail. The new frame rail is a NOS Nissan frame rail, not aftermarket junk. I was using it for a daily driver, but a 31 year old car is not the daily driver for me. The car shifts smooth and drives smooth. It has crank windows. the AC does work, I had it working over the summer, but by the end of the summer, most of the r134a leaked out. Probably a bad seal on a line. The headliner is gone, but the backer board is still there. I also installed a new heater control valve, so it does NOT leak, it works flawlessly. The ignition switch needs replaced. I have installed a starter button. You still need to turn the key, but the start position does nothing. The key also shuts it off. I put a full tune up on it over the summer as well. Air filter, distributor cap, rotor button, wires, MSD coil, and PCV valve. The hood has mild surface rust, and the spare tire well has a large hole in it. The original spare is still there, as is the jack and can of air. The only dent I can think of is a small ding by the gas cap(which is original, ignition key works in it). Someone vandalized my workplace parking lot by dumping paint in peoples gas tanks, but mine was locked so they couldn't get it open, so they just dented it The car runs and drives great, gets decent gas mileage 20 city, 30 highway. Probably would get more if I could keep my foot off the throttle, lol. I need to get 1500 firm for this. i'm not gonna say I need 1800, and say, ok I'll take 1500. I'm not like that. I need 1500, period. Car is located in SW Pennsylvania, about 50 miles south of Pittsburgh. PM me for Pics, I will be getting some this weekend. Also, the Title is clean and in hand. It was titled as classic, but I had it reverted to Regular, cause I didn't want to lose my custom plate.
