My first z...260z

I am looking to buy a 260z there is one for sale by me, crappy paint job but no rust and the engine starts up great, needs a clutch so I can't drive it around but I can tell it has been sitting a long while. The guy is asking 1500 obo, its a 74 with 84k on the clock...who knows wht it really is though. The interior is pretty beat up, needs 1 new seat and front carpet, missing the radio and passenger door panel. other than that it is a pretty good little car, front spoiler new tires and some otehr little things. I am thinking of pulling the motor and rebuilding it, while i'm in tehre putting in a new cam and IF i can scrounge the money maybe stroking it...the engine that is:finger: I know I will have to do some brake work but the suspension seems pretty good from the old bounce test. What are some of the old guys opinions? I am planning to have this car for about 6 months, just as a fun project before I leave the country so I don't care about the paint, i'll just have a fun quick little car in month or so if all goes as planned. I have been and will be searching here quite extensively but any help to get me started would be great. First question is, do you think I should get the car or should I wait for something better, I will have to tow it a couple hundred miles...flatbed of course. I live in phoenix az but i have a house in california that I am at when I found that there are way more to choose from here!!! Thanks all
