Can someone please share their views about this exterior color. Haven’t seen it yet but plan to do that tomorrow.

Someone described it to me as having some blue in it, or a blue tinge. Would you agree, or, disagree?

Thanks.

For me it's slate gray or dark silver. Depending on the angle of the light and the type of light it could look like it has a slight blue'ish tinge in it.

For me... the metallic speck in the paint are much smaller than I am used to which gives it a flatter gray look.

It reminds me of my dads 1980 280ZX Turbo, Slate Gray

There are blue flecks of metallic if you view in bright light. I wouldn't say that it comes through but it provides a nice sheen on the grey. I personally love the color and wouldn't change it

I think it is sharp. My first pick was Cloud. Go look at one.

It can't be a 1980 if it's a 280ZX turbo, the 280ZX turbo came out in 1981. I bought a red & silver T top with red leather interior, it had an inline turbo charged six that I think was about 180HP. One of my favorite cars and have been looking for one for about 20 years, they were never collector cars so just about impossible to find.
Nice looking car!

Yes and No.... my father brought his home July 13th 1980.

Remember the "louvers" on the rear windshield???

This is starting to get off topic. I had a brand new 78 280z rear louvers front and rear chrome bumper protectors appliance wire wheels wine color. Miss that car.

Off topic, yes but I wish Lexus had my NX and I had my 81 ZX turbo.

Yes, I had the black louvers and the plastic headlight covers. If remember correctly the car cost around $17,500.

My '78 was $10,000. Not many option available.

Yep, 1982 the 280ZX turbo was made from 81-83. How about those 205/60 15 tires and cassette tape-----------------I actually still have about 50 cassette tapes and a cassette player.
I was going to bid on this last year but just couldn't get past the 2+2 which in my opinion looked awful and 116,000 miles on an early turbo is not good.

Ugh, the 2+2 was hideous.
