FS: 1981 280zx Turbo - $2999 OBO

243,804 Miles. Fair condition. $3,000. Price negotiable.

I'm getting married soon and my fiance says we need a "family car," so I've been forced to sell this beauty. You're welcome. It's easily the best thing to roll out of the 80’s, and is finally back on the market! This limited-edition, adventure-seeking, freedom-driving, 1981 280zx Turbo coupe was forged in the fires of Mordor. One does not simply walk away from this car.

The engine RUNS LIKE A CHAMP. It faithfully waited two long years while I was on my LDS mission and turned over on the first try. Last month it got a full tune-up with all new battery, fuel injectors, exhaust manifold, and muffler. This war-hardened Autobot Transformer from the planet Cybertron purrs with absolute pleasure when you get behind the wheel. Fully registered as a vintage vehicle.

You want features? More like time-proven bonuses. It comes with a custom-faded, All-American, I’ve-bled-on-the-flag-to-keep-the-stripes-red paintjob. Super Sport tires. Yes. Manual transmission. YES. Spoiler. YES! Power windows. Power steering. Power rangers! Cruise Control. Some well-earned rust on exterior and undercarriage. Original AM/FM radio. Tape deck (more for decoration). 35 MPG (a must-have for every zombie apocalypse enthusiast). And a hatchback trunk that can comfortably fit half-a-dozen bikini-clad women. Trust me on that. Good thing it comes with limo tinting too. The heater doesn't work, but did I mention that it has some rad T-tops to blow your hair back on those beach-bound roadtrips? The Most Interesting Man in the World once said, “I don’t always drive, but when I do, it’s with the T-tops off.” I’ve included a pair of matching Steampunk goggles to protect your eyes from the glaring awesomeness of it all.

This brawny muscle car turns more heads than riding a mystical unicorn through Walmart. When driving an eye-catching babe magnet like this expect to get responses like, “Nice Camaro!” Or “Sweet Porsche!” Unfortunately this is the only known drawback to driving such a rare beast. It’s comparable to being the last of the Mohicans. It was made by the legendary company that once hailed as “Datsun.” Recognizing the importance of such a rare breed, Nissan carries all the parts you’ll need for future restorations.

It brags a healthy pedigree with ALL of the previous owners being U.S. Soldiers. Just point this baby in the direction of ISIS and let her off the chain.

Call or text with questions. 435.232.6132 Make an offer. I live in American Fork, UT. Not interested in trading for guns, favors, or time machine. Must sell ASAP.

W00t! Welcome to ZDriver! Always glad to see more locals. I'm right up the street from you in Lehi (I think I recognize your name from UN or Z Club of Utah?). One thing though... this car is not a turbo. Hope you haven't been driving it all these years thinking it was.

Honestly I don't know much about these cars, but when I first got work done on it the mechanic told me it was a turbo, but explained that the "turbo" had the the equivalent power of a hairdryer that pushed extra oxygen into the cylinders. But IDK.

lol. There's an injector "cooler" fan on the top of the valve cover that some car n00bz confuse with a turbo.

Random turbo engine bay pic to clarify (valve cover says "Turbo", various other differences):
