Which is More Desirable? 280ZX 2-seater or 2+2 seater? - Infamous Nissan

XoXSciFiGuy · 05-09-2018, 09:17 PM

Opinion? Which is worth more today, or more desirable? A 1982 280ZX two-seater, or the 2+2 with the extra seats in back?

I recently acquired this type of car in the TWO-SEATER variety. LOL I didn't realize it was a two seater until I tried to pull up the back seats.

There weren't any...

Project log with pictures is HERE, if you're interested in looking.

Is one worth a little more than the other? Or more collectible perhaps?

2 seater is worth more. That and the 2+2 is butt ugly.

Thanks for the answer on that one. I couldn't find anything about this on the internet.

Yeah, if I’m browsing ads I won’t even open one that says 2+2. I don’t care what the price is.

Can't say for value but I agree on the looks. They should never have put backseats in those cars.

for looks, you pretty much have to be familiar with the car to notice the seater... little bigger 1/4 glass, for me... 2 seater

2 seaters are more valuable, and definitely look better. I have a 78' 280Z, last year of the S30 chassis cars.

Go to Bringatrailer.com and search for z-cars. You can then see all the current and past auctions on the site. Read all the comments for each auction, and you can learn a shit ton about all of the Z's. Great site. I bought my Hardbody on BaT.
