I saw that too.  Odd they didn't advertise it as such.

There was one here in Orlando that I was following that didn't meet reserve and topped out at 2600 or so if I recall.  I sent various messages asking if I could see in person with no response. Likely why it didn't go higher.

Yea if you look at the subtitle it looks like he updated it with 83 Turbo.. but I def did some looking it over and noticed it was an 83 Turbo based on the pics

That automatic climate control is scary.

sent them a message asking about the frame damage... and he did confirm it has a clean title

here's his feedback on the frame damage...  i asked him specifically what was wrong with the frame since he apparently has a quote to fix it, but no response.

i know the unibody frame can be pulled and straightened, but hopefully it's nothing that bad

Frame on passenger right side needs repair after hitting a pot hole. 

 

Are you having original Zitis that you want this one? That was the same color too if I remember correctly?

A little bit - mine was dark brown with tan interior and rear louvers.. other than that it's a 1 for 1 Match.

I really want to get it and get the frame fixed then sit on it and let the value appreciate

Don't know how true this is but I've heard the 82-83 Turbo ZX will be the next big boom in Z cars. Hard part is finding certain parts are rediculous.

exactly... I've thought about that because they were a limited production run.  and so unique with the digital dash / t-tops, etc.  The car was pretty quick too!

if the frame is too far gone I could part it out and/or even use the turbo L28 /T5 / rear diff in my Z.  plus black interior 280ZX parts are a premium

one hour left - bidding is at $3,200.

Asked the guy to call me - he never did. 

not gonna pull the trigger on this one

If it doesn't hit reserve then send him email and see if you can get more info. Oddly, the Orlando one guy called me right away. Sadly I forgot it was an auto.
