Very nice looking and running 280z, great silver paint job (looks to have been white originally) interior looks great, brown seats and door panels, black dash, all interior and exterior lights work. Engine runs great with lots of power and 5 speed trans shifts good and all gears sound good. This car handles great and is a blast to drive on the curves. New air flow meter, and front pads were replaced with nissan pads, although still sometimes squeal which means rotors are glazed over and need to be turned. This car has been used as a daily driver and has proven to be very dependable. As for what the car does need most are the universal joints in the rear axles are extremely worn and will need to be replaced before driving alot. The clutch master cylinder will leak some fluid after about two weeks, just have been toping off. The windshield wipers seem weak and work sometimes and others not. Car is equipped with a/c. Does not have belt on compressor but pully and clutch both turn by hand so may just need freon and belt or could need more work. Has dealer installed to panel sunroof. Glass will come out but I have only removed once due to not wanting to rip seals. Sunroof does not usually leak unless in major hard rain and it will drip some, also seal around drivers door is in pretty rough shape. The rest is what you would expect for a 32 year old vehicle. If you know about z cars than you know how they are prone to rust. This car is a very straight and solid car, frame rails are very solid. There is some rust in floor pans, one place toward back that you can see carpet. There is some rust in hatch area that you can see with hatch up which these cars are prone to. I have been as honest as possible and this car is sold "as is", please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. 256-566-8698 This car does get attention and comments everytime I drive it. Good luck bidding on a great classic car. Note: Vehicle is for sale locally; therefore, I reserve the right to end auction early if someone offers "buy it now" price. Buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping of this car.
