I am selling this car for my uncle. The car is sitting in his backyard. Several years ago, I think 2-3 but possibly longer, he took this to the auto body shop and had some engine work done on it. At that time he was told that, "THE FRAME WAS RUSTED AND THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE." Ever since it has sat in his backyard. Therefore, this car is being sold AS-IS, and anyone that wants it will have to bring a truck or trailer and tow or remove it from the yard. Under no circumstance will this car be able to be or be allowed to be driven off the property.
That said, this was the last year they made the Nissan 280ZX. After 1983, Nissan made the nasty 300ZX, which looked like a cross between a yard Jart and a cylon inspired bottle rocket. The 280ZX had style and class, and this is what you will be trying to restore back into this car, provided the frame can be replaced and/or repaired. Like is said, this is a strip it down and rebuild it to its former glory kind of project.
Guaranteed to have a clear title, or if necessary a rebuild or salvage title. The person I am selling this for is a local official, so you will leave with the car and title--or not at all. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO GO DOWN TO THE COURTHOUSE AND EXCHANGE TITLE, YOU WILL NOT LEAVE WITH THE CAR. No taking care of it later.
Please contact me with any questions. I live about 5 minutes from the car. Please review the pictures. They are fairly representative, although they were taken a season ago. Contact for updated pictures and information, and if you are in the area, then by al means please feel free to make an appointment with me to see the car in person--I highly recommend it.
I will update the auction with as much information as I can, as it becomes available to me.

Worker killed at Nissan Tennessee plant
Sat, 27 Apr 2013A worker has died at the Nissan assembly plant in Smyrna, TN following an accident. According to The Detroit News, the tragedy happened Thursday and involved a large electric panel that fell while it was being moved. The victim was not a Nissan employee, he was a worker for Michigan-based supplier Complete Automation.
Nissan has not released the name of the deceased, but has vowed to cooperate with the authorities investigating the accident. The Murfreesboro Post notes that this is the second death at the plant in recent years - in 2012, a transport truck driver was killed after his rig rolled forward, crushing him between his cab and trailer.
Nissan wants an American driver for its Le Mans team
Sat, 20 Sep 2014
"We'll use every driver development tool we have to take them to the next level, but they will also have to step up." - Darren Cox
Nissan is aiming to put an American behind the wheel of one of its LMP1 racecars in 2016 as part of plans to grow its motorsports program in the United States.
Spitballs flying between Nissan and Fiat
Thu, 06 Dec 2012At the 2012 LA Auto Show, Fiat brand chief and recently crowned marketing genius, Olivier François, attempted to distance the Fiat 500e from other electric vehicles, asking rhetorically, "Isn't ugliness the worst kind of pollution?" Nissan has apparently taken issue with these comments, feeling slighted for what it considers digs at the Leaf's styling. In a recent interview with Automotive News, Nissan's marketing chief Simon Sproule shot back, "Let's face it, Fiat has not shied away from controversial styling themselves," he continued, "many would describe many of their products as visual pollution." Ouch.
Sproule says that while the 500e is a "me-too" product, made only to appease US emissions regulations, the Leaf is a serious effort at producing an EV. The Nissan marketing boss points out that the Japanese automaker has invested billions in EV development and production facilities, while Fiat will lose $10,000 on every 500e sold.
However sales of the Leaf in the US are down five percent. Nissan sold just 8,330 Leaf's so far this year, but Sproule contends that it has less to do with styling, and more with the charging infrastructure. Sproule also thinks that Nissan hit a balance between styling and practicality with the Leaf: "It's still very recognizable as a five-seat hatchback, fully functioning, absolutely competitive with the packaging of the Golf of any other mainstream vehicle." For a segment where efficiency is king, isn't that what matters most?
