I am going to check out a 260Z 2+2 that is selling for $1,100. It's priced for a quick deliberately The car is in excellent shape accorording to the owner, but has been sitting in his garage since 2003. It has only 70K on it and some componenets such as the fan clutch and blade have been replaced. He also switched this to SU carbs thankfully!

Let's say it starts after dropping in a fresh battery. What should I be concerned about as far as it sitting for over 3 years? Will the oil be sludged up? Please help!

Read this thread. It covers this topic thoroughly.

Cool, thanks!

Sounds like a good deal if she's solid. I paid more than twice that for mine, with 80K on the clock. What I got was a solid car with no rust other than minor surface stuff and a car that was 99% complete and functional.

If there is no major rust and it runs fair, I'd jump on it.
