Hey all

I'm mostly a Supra fanatic, but I fell in love with ZXs ever since my friend got this white '79 280. I actually saw the car first, and a couple of days later I went to tell her about the car while she was working, to already find out her boyfriend had bought it.

Not too spectacular of a car... to put it more blunty, it was a rustbucket. But a very fun and durable rust bucket. My friend beat the daylights out of the car, flogging it daily, and it handled the beating better than what I would have expected.

In Nov. 2005 she had to move, and couldnt take the car with her so she gave it to me. Unfortunately, the car was pretty beat up and I couldn't do much with it. The front brake lines had rusted out, and only the rear brakes were working. The clutch was SO toasted, it took about 5 minutes to get up to 45mph. Then WE had to move out of state, and could only take 2 cars with us, and the 280zx was in the worst shape so she got left behind

Enough of the story, here's some pix

car was originally beige/goldish, apparently

passengers floorboard was rotted through bad

pix of her w/ my supra

I definitely hope to own another 280zx again, as they are my favorite body style.

That's a sad story, but hopefully with luck, you'll be able to find another Z car when you are able to take care of it. Older cars can be problematic; but can be so rewarding.

Regarding the toyota, I think that particular model of Supra was the best of the bunch, and wouldn't mind finding a nice one myself for daily driver duty.

Anyway, welcome to the site, by the way, have you checked out our Classified section for a new Z?

Right now I cant afford another car if I really wanted to. My 260,000 mile old Supra engine quit on me in November, #6 con rod snapped and went through the block, so she's down right now and I need to fix her first.

I dont even want to look in the classifieds, as I will be drooling over every car I see and wanting to sell a kidney or something to get one

hey goddess just wanted to say high & welcome. I also have an 84 supra. Fun cars huh.

Totally

Supras and Zs, big rivals but both such great cars to own

if you are looking to fix your supra soon, let me know i may have some parts your iterested in.

here is a link to my supra (my baby)

My z is my race car, and is real rough.

Very nice! Are you over at celicasupra.com?

Only reason my car has been down for 3 months is because we're in a huge financial rut, otherwise I'd be all over any parts you have. Soon as things start going good for us again, I will take you up on your offer
