Vehicle description
1980 280ZX GL Coupe. 5-speed transmission. 80K miles. I purchased from original owner in "05. Since then, I replaced the radio & tape deck out (neither was working) for a Sony CD player/radio, added R12 (probably needs more), and changed the oil at regular intervals.
Other than the stereo, the car is as I bought it.
Runs great. Interior is in great shape. (no cracks in dash). LOW miles. GL package. Always turns heads.

UPDATE 6/4: I have had several questions. . I will add the following information
I"m not a dealer, I"m a car guy. Would love to give this car a "10", but I have to live with myself and sleep at night, so here"s the good and bad (IMHO).
The car has been sitting in my shop for the past 5 years. I keep a battery charged on it all the time, so occasionally I crank it up and let it idle for a while. Always fired right up and NEVER failed to crank.
As I said, I added R12 when I got home and it blew cold. I am CERTAIN without checking, it will need R12 again.
Since I got it, a couple of bubbble/rust spots on the car at the LOWER edge of the windshield showed up. I "popped" the bubbles and scrubbed the rust away and used Rustoleum on those to stop the rust from going further and so far it has worked. Actually turned out better than I could imagine. If you"re just walking by it"s hardly noticeable. Obviously, I drove it regularly so it has picked up a few rock pecks. One on the light bezel is the only one worth mentioning. I will post pictures of all 3 spots soon.
Oil leaks. . Actually, the engine and rear end are damp, but not dripping (which doesn"t bother me, most cars are underneath. There is a wet spot on the shop floor below the transmission, but without jacking it up and looking under it, I going to say the slave cylinder is leaking. Here"s why. . I have for the past couple of years, had to pump the clutch up to "get pressure". Now once it"s pumped up. .take off. It"ll shift like a champ, but I suspect the slave is the culprit.
I am not a carshow judge, but I"d give it 7.5-8 (maybe 8.5 considering the age).
Thanks for checking "BLUE" out. . Hope I didn"t "kill" a sale, just had to be honest. Give me an honest (serious) bid. . who knows!

More picture requests - check them out. .
Took pictures of the rust and pecks.
Just took it out for a quick run up and down the highway. . RAN LIKE A TOP! Good temp, good pressure, good voltage. Camera ran out of battery, was going to show more. Cruise locked in.
Underside pics prior to run. . In my opinion the "surface" rust underneath is from sitting in my shop in So. East Missouri for the past several years. Highway "sandblasting" will take care of that!
Had a little vibration in the wheel between 50-55 (but who drives that slow. .lol).
I have not done anything to this car aside from changing oil & filter, added r12, changed radio, added gas, washed and waxed, and "drove it like I stole it" for the past 14 years (well, except for the 5-6 it was parked in the shop).
ISSUE. . The clock sometimes lights up. . sometimes doesn"t. . It DID NOT light up today when I took it out for a drive. Also, I found a "peck" at the right rear light that I didn"t realize or don"t remember. . either way, it"s been touched up before me and you can check out the picture of that corner!
Also, left rear interior has "pulled away. . So common on these cars. Also the clip that holds the Tire compartment is missing. I have the knob, but the clip it screws into is missing.
Added VIN #
Not sure if I still have the original radio and cassette deck. . was asked - will search my shop and let you know!
Guys. . I"m really trying to be as "forth-coming" about this car as I can. I don"t want to be "ripped-off" and I don"t want anyone to think they got ripped-off by me. . SO ASK ME. I"ll tell you what I know! !
THANKS FOR LOOKING!

I did have the Cat cut off and a straight pipe put in it"s place. Just remembered that.
