Thoughts on this 240z

[tmeyer29]

This is the first time I've been to this side of the forums but quite possibly ill be here more often. I am looking at a '72 240z. It has been in storage for 15 years. He says the body is solid and from the blury pics he sent it doesn't seem to have rust. I did find a list of common rust spots on these cars and will be looking at the car later today. The engine in it is shot but he has a running one that will be thrown in with the car. Seats are good, but interior could use some cleaning up. Asking is $1,200. Here are the blurry pics. Thoughts?

those are the largest blury pic's I've ever seen

from what I can see ti looks like a deal, decent paint? cracked dash and collapsed seat cushins are pretyt much to be expected

the engine, I wonder whats wrong with it? these engines tend to last forever

and in WI if it's nto all rusted to death it's a steal

Yeah i will ask him tonight if he knows what is wrong with motor in it. Maybe it just wont run right because of something simple. It sucks the pics dont show detail, but it looks pretty rust freeish. your right, its hard to find any older vehicle rust free in Wisconsin. we tend to get salt happy on the roads

You will need to go see it in person to decide. I say that any solid 240Z is worth buying, but when you go to check it out take a magnet. Rust sticks to a magnet, but bondo and fiberglass don't.

I decided against it. The body was solid untill i touched it
