Ok guys, I just got done buying another 72 240Z!!!!! This baby is CLEAN and one of the best rust free cars I have ever looked at. It came from TX. into MO. 3 years ago and has NO RUST!!! I have pulled the carpet all over, spare tire, frame rails you could eat off of!!! I open the door and found a perfect int. head liner, carpet, doors in tip top shape and BLACK. The dash dosnt even have a stress line and is 100% with NO cracks or damage. I am talking 100% there inside and out. even the damage free shift boot.

The PO had sold the car to his kid who then thought it would be fun ta rattle can paint the car light blue 2 years ago. But it's all there and free of dents rust and damage of any kind even the bumpers are 100%. Only down fall on the car is a locked up motor. I guess its a good thing I have my new motor sitting on the stand. I will be posting more and better photos soon. I took these with my phone and it's a POS so....

I will be getting the car tomorrow and will post alot more pics once I have her safe @ the shop. I am telling you guys I have been looking at these cars for years now and have never come across a car this solid and complete in YEARS!!!! So, all n all I think it was worth the $1000. I gave for it THANK YOU CRAIGS LIST!!!!!!!!

Let the projects begin..............great find!! Keep us updated.

I always keep my eyes open as I am travel'n every week with my job. I have yet to find a "cobra in the barn", but there is still time (great book in case you have not read it).

I am going for the paint and motor swap. After that It's gona be my driver. My plans are getting the motor swap done asap and put a few miles on her.

My goal is being on the road with it in about a week. Then sand her down and roll her into the paint booth for a fresh coat of stock orange and enjoy the ride once again. The blue paint isnt under hood or in the jams. So I should be able to fog in the jams easy with the stock color.

This one really needs nothing but my motor, paint, and my mag wheels.

I cant wait!!!!!!

I will be looking for that book. TY

Congrats on the find, and +1 on Tom Cotters book "Cobra in the barn".

Will be looking forward to the pictures and progress.

Congrats on your find. Sounds like a hell of a deal. Can't want to see detailed pics.

Fortunate find.

Or,

As we Aussies would say,

LUCKY BUGGER.

Rick.

:devious::devious:

Sounds nice - looking forward to the non-fuzzy pics.

Thank you all. I am getting ready now and will have her at the shop by lunch time today. Clear photos will be up soon.

May the rust free be with you...

Congrats...

When his kid painted it he had pulled the trim work from the side and from the looks of it threw body filler on the holes and painted over it raw. Thats the deal on the sides.

No that is not rust!!! it's bad paint and some nasty dirt
