hls30.com Posted February 7, 2009 Share #13 Posted February 7, 2009 Everybody is telling you to either very careful and thorough in checking out the car, or find one outside of the rust belt. I'll add find a member(or members!) close to what ever car you locate, and get them to have a look with you. Most Z guys look for a reason to go look at another Z!Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biddljj Posted February 8, 2009 Share #14 Posted February 8, 2009 I would take a floor jack... 4 Beefy jack stands... a bunch of extension cord..A good drop light and a creeper.... Check the rockers and whole bottom of the car.Floor pan... oil leaks... damage.... If the car can't tolerate jack stands just forward of the rear wheels.... walk awayNot just a Z - zdisease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdenno Posted February 8, 2009 Share #15 Posted February 8, 2009 Pass on this one unless you're willing to undo questionable bodywork (and the surprises underneath) and track down some slightly pricey parts - like both bumpers and mounting hardware, rear panels and tail lights.Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdefabri Posted February 8, 2009 Share #16 Posted February 8, 2009 Yea, take a pass. Even for NJ, that's a bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted February 10, 2009 Share #17 Posted February 10, 2009 Looks like the car is up on eBay now with the same three camera phone pics.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-240z-1971-datsun-240z_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6187QQihZ012QQitemZ220358711800QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW-Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyRock Posted February 10, 2009 Share #18 Posted February 10, 2009 According to an identical thread posted by blueshark123 on hybridz.org he is no longer interested in this Z.Apparently the seller purchased this Z in it's current state some time last year for $600. He soon tried to sell it for $1000 and when he didn't have any takers I guess he raised his price! Also someone claims to have checked it out and it is not rust free at all.

Yeah there was rust everywhere on this car. Nice waste of 5 hours on a beautiful Saturday Edited February 13, 2009 by blueshark123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdefabri Posted February 13, 2009 Share #20 Posted February 13, 2009 I am in Monmouth County, not terribly far from Barnegat. Probably could have checked on it, but as I mentioned, looked like a bomb anyway.Not sure what they are looking for, but here's a nice one in PA:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-240Z-Sharp-1972-240Z-one-owner-before-restoration_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ170301783374QQsspagenameZRSSQ3aBQ3aSRCHQ3aUSQ3a101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z Speed Posted February 18, 2009 Share #21 Posted February 18, 2009 Run, run far. And just keep running. Don't look back, just keep running.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=Enigma= Posted February 19, 2009 Share #22 Posted February 19, 2009 I'm betting that the rear tail work was done not ony to mimick the DAytona, but probably to cover up some serious body damage that they didn't want to or couldn't afford to fix. Take your time and find a better startingpoint. There are plenty of choices out there and this one looks like nothing more than a parts car to me.
