Arizona/California 1970 240Z

[BD240Z]

I'm going to inspect this 240Z tomorrow afternoon. In talking with the seller, he "claims" the problem areas are rust-free. He said the floor, frame rails and battery tray area are good with no rust. It's also a numbers matching car.

I want some of the parts off this car, I'm interested in the bumpers, tail-lights, centercaps, some interior parts and whatever I happen to see/like/need. I don't want the carbs, I already have a set on order from Z-Therapy. Any parts I take off will be replaced with the existing version I already own from my current car.

If the shell is "free" from rust, would anyone be interested in buying it from me? The Seller claims the car runs and is driveable and I won't be taking anything off the car that would prevent it from being driveable. I know this is important to the auto freight companies, they prefer the car be able to move under it's own power.

I'll take alot of photos and if there's any interest, I'll either email them to that person and/or post them here. I'm not interested in parting the car out, ideally it would go to someone who would restore it or at least needs a shell with good metal.

I'll assist with the shipping in any way I can, that doesn't mean I'll drive it to your door:D

I know I'm getting ahead of myself and need to see if the car has as little rust as he claims. Let me know if there's any interest.

Bruce, I have been watching the same car on ebay. My only desire is the body. Perfect for what I want to do. If it is a rust free as stated then count me in. Pm me for particular's if you choose. I am a few hours drive away from you so I could simply pick it up instead of doing the shipping thing...

Bruce,

It's good to hear from you! How's the restoration of the "Desert Queen" coming along? A bunch of us were sure interested on how the entire purchase of her unfolded last June (see link below).

As far as this other '70 that is currently on Ebay is concerend, I agree with you, it would be nice for someone to restore it rather than part it out. That would be great if you van work things out with Greenmonster80.

Don't forget to post some pics of the Desert Queen and tell us about the progress.
