In the market for a clean Z, came to this forum in hopes to get a gem

You will want to monitor this sub-forum and the classifieds.

Ebay and Craigslist

On the radar, Ebay seems to be the outlet , looking at this one at the moment but not sold on the color >>>Datsun : Z-Series 2 door in Datsun | eBay Motors

The color will grow on you. Bid man, Bid!

The current bid is way undervalued. IMHO....

I really am not a brown car person, but do like silver, red, white or ORANGE

Don't sweat the color - buy the BEST and most rust-free example that you can, and then get it repainted down the road. You'll be a lot happier getting a car painted than you will be having all the panels cut out and replaced.

^^^^ Debating to go resto/mod or old school mod, just saw a super clean 240 with an LS1 conversion at a local coffee/gas meet and got my head spinning, This is my current daily car>>>

That is the beautiful thing with a Z - old school / modded / classic / racing / tons of things you can do and several different engines with the classic body lines. A lot of parts from 240/260/280/and ZX's are interchangeable. It's all up to the owner on how and what they want to do - and the funds they want to spend.

Keep us posted on what you want to do with it once you find it

Mike McGinnis at Banzai Motorworks may be able to let you know if there are any good early Zs for sale in the area. Banzai Motorworks He has a fantastic shop, and I've been very pleased with the parts I've purchased from him.

Looks like it sold for $11,600.00. {Winning Bid}

Yes - lots of things you can do with a 240Z. The car on EBay is a good example. Resto Mod - L28&5spd. No doubt at least twice, if not more the selling price was put into it. Whoever bought it at $11,600.00 got a really GREAT DEAL {providing everything was as advertised}.

For anyone looking for a 240Z to buy and just drive and enjoy - this one was a dream. If someone was looking for a Classic Car - this one wasn't it.

The same amount of work and money put into keeping it Pure Stock -if the Original L24 engine was still with it when purchased - - and it might have found a buyer at closer to $18K today.

I am in the drive and enjoy mode. I do have a list, I want a turn key car with a super strait gleaming body , a detailed interior, A/C a must have since this will be a fair weather toy, the drive train at optimum level. Add to this performance, it's a sports car. My budget is in the high teens to mid 20ts. So I need to focus on old school mods or newer resto mods, here is my dilemma
