Testing the waters 83 280zxt
I have a black 83 280zx with a 81 turbo swap in it. The car has 108k original miles, ttops and the body and has the normal rust on the pans/wheel wells.
The car runs fine & is all put together.. but while replacing the manifold gasket I noticed the prior owner of the engine broke a manifold bolt off on the far upper left bolt under the thermostat and broke a easy out in it, as I was unable to drill through the bolt.
I'm completely out of patience with this car and don't desire to drop another dime in it..
How much are these worth now & what should I charge? It will most likely come with the original n/a motor that came with it, which runs perfectly fine too.

might wanna add that it is a 2+2 but for price 0-1500 Depends who wants to buy it. You might have to end up taking offers. Not alot of people want a 2+2 but it does have a turbo swap so that is a plus. But overall from the pics interior looks good. You have any shots of the rust and underneath? what about suspension is it all stock (ex: still old bushings)?

Everything is still bone stock short of the engine, boost controller, exhaust with a flowmaster muffler, boost gauge and stereo.
The pans are still solid, but will definitely need to be cut out and replaced at some point if a full restoration is done.
It Also has a 3 inch to 2 1/2 exhaust ran on it, but the weld job is painfully messy from the catback on. Whoever did it needs kicked in the *****, but it's still solid, doesn't leak and sounds nice.
