Looking to purchase a 280zx
Im looking to find a 280zx. Doesnt have to be in super shape but not a total rebuild either. Must at least be drivable and hopefully in my general area of the country. I live in western Kentucky. My email is dkelsey@hcis.net

Hey thanks Dorifto and NismoPick for the info. 10 days after my post and after several years of looking around for just the right 280zx to rebuild I came across one in Clarksville Tennessee (about 2 hrs from my home). It needs quite a bit of work but is what I was looking for. I will post a picture of it soon. Thanks again for the help. Im sure my weekends will be filled with salvage yard excursions as well as web searches for rubber seals, moldings, t-tops, seats etc.

Would have loved to have a turbo but I was delighted to just find one in relatively good condition after a few years of searching around in my area of the country. Might turbo it at a later date.

I found one of my Z's in a junk yard. another is a repair shop. Found two more (N/A, and a Turbo) in another junk yard, ain't got them. But hoping maby some day, That turbo looks great. Found a 77 280Z down the road a bit, (freind now own's it) and found a 80 280ZX slick top at another junk yard, (freind now own's it too) Back when i was searching for a 280ZX, I could not find one for nothin, gave up. about a year later ran into 2 of them. One had weed's growing all around it, and some in it. I now own that one. And love it. No one around me had ever heard of a 280ZX till i brought one home. now ppl around me own them also. I was freaked out when my pearnt's told me they had one back in the day. And I was brought home from the hospital (when i poped out) in a 82 280ZX T-Top N/A.

My best friend (Todd) has a black Z32 twin turbo'd, that we used to race through clovis. thats been about a year ago. We were both @ cannon for a while. I had one of the only 2 350Z's there at that time.
