New, old, young guy (it makes sense!)

Hey everyone,

A few years ago I had sold off my Z to help pay to get my degree in Mechanical Engineering but thankfully, that decision among many others got me a good job so I'm back to get back into another S30!

Just wanted to re-introduce since its been ~4 years since I was last on here. My name's Will and I'm new to the Milwaukee area so if any of you have a rust free 240-280 laying around, lemme know!

Welcome back Will. Goodluck hunting down a ahh shall I say S30, 240 - 280Z. That was a nice 260Z you had. I like the clean bumperless rear end.

Welcome back to the club Will. As you already know, finding a rust free Z in any part of the country these days presents a challenge. The best thing I can suggest is to keep an eye on the Datsun Classifieds site and troll your local and surrounding Craigslist sites on a regular basis. Ebay is always an option too. Be patient and I am sure the right one will come along. We look forward to your updates.

Speaking of finding the "right one" - can you tell us more specifically what you are looking for? Or what your plans are for one..

a) one to buy, detail, drive and enjoy {$12K to $16K}

one to buy, fix up, then drive and enjoy {$10K to $12K}

C) a non-running Project - that is in restorable condition {$5K to $10K}

D) one to buy, drive on weekends to local shows and enjoy {$18K to $21K}.

FWIW,

Carl B.

You've made my day Mr. Beck, thank You.

Thanks for the warm re-welcome guys. I know it'll be a challenge finding a rust free/low rust one but I can wait some and always can rent a car dolly it far away. Trust me, I'm a massive Craigslist/ebay/forum post troll right now for one.

I guess the main thing is I don't want to have to repaint the car at this point. So some light floorboard rust could be managed but doglegs/quarters, etc need to be in good shape for me.

To Carl Beck's post...I'd say my wants fall into a b or c category. I would like something that has a mostly clean interior/exterior. I could care less what's going on in the engine bay at this point. Whether its empty, 350, L24, or anything else...it doesn't matter much as I'll wind up putting what I want into it.
