Hi guys. I picked up a 1981 280zx last weekend in VA. It's my 1st Z-car. It just turned 50,000 about an hour ago and it's really clean. There is'nt a speck of rust and it has the original windshield washer fliud in it! I've wanted one since I was around 10years old. I'm sure a lot of you out there can understand. Just wanted to say hello.

Great find! You should take more pics, inside, out & under and post for those looking to do a restoration. Looks like it just rolled off the show room floor.

Beautiful, beautiful car.

WOW!! That is absolutely the cleanest S130 engine bay I have ever seen before. Holy crap I am soooo jealous.

My friend has the exact same car. Same year, same color, slicktop.. but side by side yours looks like a ferrari next to a pontiac fiero.

Everything done to the Z has been done by my Dad and I. Neither one of us were or are mechanics. We use you guys and books to do everything. Thanks!

That Z is beautiful. I just hope to get mine as nice as that on the outside... let alone that engine. Congrats on the find, I'd say its a keeper ;).
