Family member interested on this Z

Didn't notice the missing pull handle on the driver's door. It also has the classic purple stripe of worn off plating.

That exhaust system really looks bad the longer you study it. Piling on...

Good observations made , interesting to know that this Z has been on both coasts Fla/Cal, please continue the opinions , they are making us to see a clear prospective , this forum is classy .

Hi Z Fan:

Maybe if we knew a little more about the specific things that interest your step-son; about this Z or any others, we could offer better perspectives/advice. For example, does he just like the looks of it - or does he have more interests in the engine/power etc.. Maybe it is just close to him. Does he want a car that he can work on himself or does he want a finished car ready to drive/enjoy?

FWIW,

Carl B.

^^^ He basically wants a done Z , he has the means to pay good money . Looks, performance and quality work a priority , he is open to some body mods but likes the stock look of the early Z. A clean cabin and A/C a critical factor.

Hi Z fan:

That is helpful - and he should be able to find what he's looking for. One just can't be in a hurry. Really well done and ready to drive 240Z's don't come up for sale on the open market too often. Many times the best cars change hands privately. Club members that know other club members who have nice cars - often buy them as soon as the owner mentions a desire or willingness to sell. So if he is anywhere near a Local Club - always good to get to know some or the other members.

good luck,

Carl B.

Much as I don't want to jump onto this scrum but the one rotor (at least) looks like it needs to be turned (or replaced). You know what they say about rotors... one good turn deserves another - or some such thing. That overspray on the dash (both sides!) really demonstrates a lack of attention to detail that would make me want to question all of the details.

I e-mailed the guy about the over spray, "Reflection. No overspray." So the rubber weatherstripping around the window frame is reflective.

There is evidence of a fairly lazy paint job by the lack of paint to the underside lip of the fender, also the underside of the front valance. Also there is blistering to the quilted covering on the trans tunnel. Probably from heat.

Thanks for the input, this Z is no longer on the radar, as mention above hunting for a done Z, the best tool is not to hurry.

I know it is gone, but is it really that hard to vacuum a car out before taking pictures!!!
