Posted November 27, 201113 yr comment_372941 We have a 1983 280 ZX (naturally-aspirated) with about 180K miles on it, not currently running. It has a 5-speed stick, leather/embossed suede interior, electronic dash, T-tops. I needs restoration. The exhaust manifold has a crack and we have a replacement used part for it. It sounds like a throw-out bearing needs to be replaced. The clutch is new. Body is straight but needs paint. All the glass is intact and not leaking. The car is nearly all-original, including the wheels, and has always been in California.Can anyone give us a ballpark figure or what it's worth? Thanks everyone!-Louie Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/41484-83-280zx-whats-it-worth/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

November 27, 201113 yr comment_372946 Not much, there are running turbo cars in that condition going for around $1500, so I would put yours under a grand.

November 28, 201113 yr Author comment_373055 If it isn't running, how would you know what the throwout bearing sounds like?My son stopped driving it when a loud knocking sound was heard when the car was idling in neutral and the clutch was not engaged. A friend who knew Zs said it was likely the throwout bearing.

November 28, 201113 yr comment_373057 I agree with 5TH. If it isn't running you are almost going to pay someone to come get it. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/41484-83-280zx-whats-it-worth/#findComment-373057 Share on other sites More sharing options...
