anybody want to suggest a value on this Z?

Clutchdust. Sorry I just now saw you are around Vegas. Let that poor rusty Z be. Take a drive out near the womens prison\jail.

I have spent a ton of time at the boneyards around there and there are lots of boneyards that have tons of rust free metal. The last time I drove the road the yards are on there was a 240 with widebody kit sitting on the road waiting for room inside the boneyard too clear up before it went in.

This was about a year ago now but these yards have been there for years and there are Zs sitting in them just waiting. Beware the road SUCKS its dirt ( thats what they call it) and the holes are large enough to eat most small cars. Worth the headache of the road. Heck theres one yard there that I found a true steel 32 ford coupe body 90% rust free sitting on the roof of a shed in the back side of the yard.

I would tell you take your time and do some hunting. Most of the places you will find where I have told you are not big on the import cars. So they are more then happy to let them go and make room for the American iron.

Have fun and good luck. P.S. if you see water on the dirt road ITS DEEP GO AROUND.

arizona, she's just a friend, typical woman who wouldn't know a cresent wrench from a cresent roll so i'm just trying to help her NOT get screwed. she's also been a good friend and now she needs some money. she's out of work and doesn't have the money to fix the car. she hates having to let it go but she doesn't want to give it away either. it's tough as we all have a tendency to include 'sentimental value' in our asking price. i'm doing much of this for free (labor, she's buying the parts) just because that's how i am with friends.

carguy, i know the boneyards of which you speak. been there a few times. i have a 1 ton chevy and it's fallen in a few 'holes' itself. seriously, i've actually hit the diff going through some of that crap so i know what you mean.

i think she wants more for the car than what it's worth, especially what it's worth to me. i just really started to take a shine to the body style but i don't need any more projects right now anyway. if it was a good driver that i could smog as it sits, i'd seriously be considering $600 for it, but then she'd be asking $1k. personally, i like fiberglass myself and steel cars scare me (rust is a bad thing!).
