That's what I've heard as well. I had a chance to pick one up cheap- a dealer by my house had a 280zx turbo for sale but it was in ROUGH shape (and it was an automatic) so I declined.

In green bay? I kinda doubt it. I think the guy said it took him 3 years to get all the parts together for it but just doesn't have the time for it.
My brother bought a '99 RS from this guy and he had a built fairlady Z (240z?) in the garage and told me he'll sell me his other project he never got around to. I'm not really sure though. I haven't talked to the guy in weeks. I'm debating it yet. Even the engine is in pieces. |

$6000 seems a bit high for that, unless it's straight and has no rust.
Where in the South East are we talking? It's certainly not AZ or CA desert, so I'd be afraid of rust. |

I've always wanted a 240 or 260 so bad, but could never find one in decent shape My SVX was a hard-to-come-by-treasure for sure, but I would consider selling it for a mint early model (pre-280) Z-car...
This made me cream my pants, though: |

BTW, I'm pretty sure the 280z is better across the board than the 260z- IIRC there were some fairly serious flaws with the 260z. I want to know: WTF happened with the ZX? I love the styling of the 240/260/280z, but the 280ZX is so friggin ugly IMO. It's like they hit a 280z with an ugly stick. A lot. |

The posters in this thread are right, I love the way it looks, but don't think i'd be truly happy with an automatic. Mostly i'm just dreaming. I'd like a cool older car...maybe even one to replace my daily driver and it's hefty monthly payment. |

in truth the auto's in S30 cars truly suck. And I like almost all Z's. The power loss must be close to 30% and the gear ratio is horrible.

AH! yeah sorry, I get my Z's mixed up, I liked the early Z's before the 300z of the 80's. I'm not really a fan of that thing. And yes, the 280ZX is an ugly bitch, the roofline ruins everything. I got mixed up and also thought that all 280z's looked like the ZX afterwards, now that it's cleared up I love every Z before the 280ZX |
