so its up for $4k, ill take $300 for the parts car. sound fair? I really need to find a buyer.

Included in some of the pictures I posted is a written estimate from a respected body shop. I'm about to go through all of the listings i have posted and lower the price again... I started off asking $8k for the car. My father and I have close to $20k invested in the restoration and maintenance. It was a labor of love now realized to all be in vain. First i crashed it and now a young family. I guess you make plans and God laughs.

so you think i should take the 4 grand for her?

Calhoun Georgia. a long way from you lol.

Haha, no, the roads were wet and I straightened out a corner, busted through a big decorative concrete rock. Completely shattered it going about 30 in a 25. I dare a person to hurt my baby lol.

I have gotten many offers through other sites, three offers of $4000 but I turned them all down. This car was the love of my life before i met my wife. We've been through so much together and i hate myself for betraying her but part of being an adult is making sacrifices for your family though... So here I am.

Asking $4999 i have a written estimate from a local body shop with a good reputation. I'm not trying to hide anything about the car, i know shes straight, just needs some body work. here are some detailed pictures of the damage, if you want to see more just ask.

For Sale my 1980 280zx 10th anniversary special edition. #1862 of 3000. It is a 5 speed. I have owned this car for 6yrs and 10 months. I repainted the car the original colors about 4 years ago, installed new seat covers and carpet as well as put countless thousands of dollars into this car restoring it back to stock as close as i could (except for the stereo). I have meticulously cleaned and maintained this car, quite frankly it has been my baby. a year ago i slid into my neighbors yard and put some damage on the rear side of the car. It has been checked by a local body shop to make sure the frame isn't damaged. i dont want to sell this car but i must because i have a new family.Parts car is included.feel free to call or text me anytime with any questions or for more pics, I work on the weekends so just leave me a voicemail and ill call you back asap. 404-791-onethreesixfour.

update: i tightened my thermostat bolts and haven't had a problem since. thanks for the help guys.

FI, I haven't let it run long just 2 min with the steam. It smells like coolant to me because it doesn't smell like smoke.

My reservoir has a hole in it and hasn't held fluid the whole 6 years I've had the car. It doesn't look like my radiator is low on fluid though, still at the top, she started this yesterday when I started her. I drove her home from work Sunday, and she had a hard time starting which isn't normal. I keep a close eye on everything so I would've noticed.

When I start my car steam comes out of the side of the Motor, looks like it's coming from the same area as my exhaust manifold. Is my head gasket blown? I keep checking my oil and my oil looks fine, I did notice some antifreeze around my thermostat and valve cover gasket too. What do you think is going on?

Hey guys. Just thought I should let you know that I now have the emblems and they look great on my car. Zcarsource finnaly got some in.

I checked the 3 that I could get to without taking off the fuel rail. They seemed to be fine.

The state and of idle is rough, when I can get it to idle at all. It backfires, quits, looses oil pressure and dies, other than the backfiring it sounds just lime an L28 should.

How do I check that?

Over the summer on a trip to Panama city beach I put 87 octane in my tank. When i got to the beach my tank was almost completely empty. Recently I took the same trip but filled my car with 93 octane and arrived at the beach with 1/4 of a tank left.

I've been trying to restore my brothers 1981 280zx it seems that the mass air flow meter has went bad. (well im guessing thats the problem.) I've cleaned the gas tank, put a new fuel pump in it, new fuel filter, rubber gas lines, sparkplugs, cut out the catalatic converter, adjusted the timing, new coil, and a new air filter, but it still wont idle and run right. ive ran a full tank of gas with injecter cleaner out of it so im pretty sure its not the valves or injecters. somtimes it backfires and sometimes it just quits. doesnt have the power to climb the hill to get it out of my driveway witch is a shame because i just put new tires on it. Can someone confirm that this is the problem? And if it is is there anyway of replacing it with a more modern/cheaper alternative? thanks in advance for all of your help.

I removed the carpet and storage compartments out of the rear deck. Laid the carpet over a piece of plywood then traced the layout of the carpet onto the plywood. After I cut the plywood I had to cut two 6x9 holes where the storage compartments were then trim it in a few places to get it to fit inside of the car. Put the carpet back in place, cut out the 6x9 holes in the capet to match the plywood and put 2 Kewood 6x9s in. I just took the wires that went to the original speakers behind the seats and connected them to my 6x9s. I also added some subwoofers for extra bass but their just in a box back against the hatch.

best pic i could find

I would love too.

I was sitting around thinking and I realized that i have never posted the story of how I acquired my beautiful 10th Anniversary edition 1980 280zx. It started when i was 15 years old, my dad and I was on the desktop searching craigslist for an affordable Jeep Wrangler. (At the time I thought I wanted one.) As we were scrolling through the listings there happened to be a candy apple red 1977 280z. It was love at first sight. I immediately dialed the number listed and scheduled a meeting with the owner at the local QT. That night I got down on my knees and prayed "God please please please let me have a Z car." The next day after school my dad and I met the owner and test drove the car. Needless to say it was a complete peace of junk. The motor rattled, sounded horrible, and the underside of the car was orangish brown with rust. After coming home disappointed I prayed again, this time thanking God for the Z car I knew he was going to give me. The very next Sunday at church my dad found out that one of his friends had a brother that owns Z cars. I got the mans number and called, asked if i could come over and see them, he agreed and I was once again filled with hope. My dad and I went and saw his small collection, and of course I had to ask if he would sell me any of them and to my surprise he said yes! I cant tell you how much I paid but what I can tell you is that It was only a deal that only God himself could of arranged. I bought three yes three 280ZX's! Two of which ran (one being my car) and 3rd car being a parts car. (it had been totaled.) Every time I look at my car it reminds me of how awesome God is and how he really does answer prayers.
