I've own a 240,260 & 280 in the 1980s

Looking for a 240z project. Haven't had much luck finding one in my area.

Will be doing all the work myself. I look at a 73 today,said to have 73,000 miles. Floors were redone engine was real good body real good shape as in little or no rust needs paint bad and interior and i notice a lot of bondo on the roof of the car and driver side door.He was asking $7500 which i thought was high. I made a offer of $4000 said his bottom line was $6000. I walk away.

I am looking for the going price of these z cars not looking for something i can jump in and drive away.

Thanks Rick

glad to be here and finding a 240z

Hi Rick:

Your problem is finding a 240 Z anywhere near you - in good enough shape to start as a project car - that isn't at least $5K to $6K. Seems to still be lots of them in the Western States - but then you have a couple grand in shipping.

At any rate - good luck in your search.

FWIW,

I think that the transport money will be far less than rot work $$$$$$ , do the Ebay Cali Z car thing and enjoy the ride

Here are a couple of clubs in your area that have a great interest in S30's and can help you network in your search. The CT club is the home of Lucky 13.

Z Car Club of Rochester - http://www.zccr.net/main/index.php

Carl said it best, its going to be hard to find anything in really good shape near you that is at a reasonable price point. If you want something you can get in and drive and enjoy right away you will need to open your search to other states. CA and AZ seem to have the most rust free and fair priced cars. A plane ticket and shipping will still come out cheaper than doing tons of body and paint work. Keep your eye on the Ebay discussion thread as a lot of guys post up interesting cars they see on Ebay, Craigslist, and other online classified sources. We all like helping members find the car they are looking for.

Here is a fresh auction on Ebaymart,automatics some times command less $, and do the tranny transplant http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/California-Original-Un-Restored-1972-Datsun-240-Z-Rust-Free-Automatic-83k-/200818475424?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item2ec1b6c1a0#ht_1520wt_1078
