so as you guys probelly know cuz i mentioned before i have a 1983 turbo z. well i am in a very tight situation and need to get some money. my z is rusty{northern car i believe, frame rust.} it has a good motor. should i try to sell it whole or part it out? i know the snowflake rims are worth something and i figure the block is worth rebuilding. and then things like the t-tops are good and many other parts. i am in atlanta, ga. def a good doner car for building up turbo car.

I have bought 3 280ZXT's for about $300 each, they were all auto's, $4-500 if it's a 5 speed will add 1-200 to that, in parts if you have the patience, you can sell $500-1000 depending on the condition of the parts, as for the engine, the cylinder head is more valuable than the block, from my experience fro good parts you can expectthe P90 heads go for about $150 the blocks generally only about $50the turbo oil pan is worth about $30the turbo if in good condition will bring about $100, half that if it's got shaft play 240mm flywheel $30the exhaust manifold will bring another $50intake with good injectors $50the dist by itself is worth $50-75 if workingand the ignitor will bring about $20harness $50-75ECU $50

if the car isn't running and you don't know the condition of the parts they prices go way down, also trim bits can add up but the turbo parts seem to be the most popular and easy to move, the wheels only go for about $100-150 for the set and the T-tops only have a value if you can find someone in need of one, I have only managed toever sell 2 and one went for $50 and the other for $20, a working digital dash can bring up to $100 and many other parts have value if you can find the buyers, and at current steel prices you can sell the shell to a scrap yard for about $100

I might be interested in a partial trade for the 88 turbo I have. As soon as it is finished from paint I will email you pics. The car did not have turbo wheels but I have an extra set and I have a set of z32 wheels but they will need spacers. After paint I will do the exhaust abd IC set up on it.
