This should keep you busy for a while.

Remember, rust eats more than the car, it eats your money. Only buy rust free cars, even if you have to go to Arizona to do it.

Well i can tell you right now a 240Z will be a money pit. If i can find a nice one its going to cost an arm and a leg and if you find a cheap one its going to cost an arm and leg to fix it up. Id say try to find a decent 280ZX(ZX is 80-83) Their nice inside, have plenty of power and great styling. (Gotta cut this short, knocked a coke over on the mouse)

bahh thats what everyone is saying. looks like its gonna be a 510...

Well, needless to say, I completely disagree with Bandit240. If you shop around and don't sucker in on "pretty" without checking for rust, it will get expensive.

Wise shopping, in an area that has rust free cars, will turn up a nice '72-'73 240Z for $3500 to $4000. People are not pulling the $8K to $10K you see in the want adds. A low milage '70 or '71 in 2+ condition might get $10K. A '72 in 2+ condition might get $6K in the right market.

I have a '73 with an '83 drive train, an MSA body kit, modified suspension and $2000 worth of wheels and tires. If I was selling it (I'm NOT), no bank would finance the $6500 I would expect to get. These cars being advertised for $8K or $10K can only be sold to someone who can write a check for the full amount.

There were too many of these cars made for them to be worth a ton of money. Shop wisely and you can find GOOD drivers for $3500.
