Hello there Z lovers and enthusiasts! My name is Wesley and I've been hanging out here for a little while and I have finally decided to create an account and join the fun.

 

I've recently entered a position where I'm able to purchase my dream I am a Canadian resident located near Toronto. Sadly Canada's market doesn't have any affordable Z's in decent shape. SO, my reason of writing today is to ask a huge favour. I've found a 240z I'm ready to buy yesterday in Huntington Beach California. Everything checks out in the ad, however before I fly myself out and uHaul the car back home I'd love a second opinion.

 

I was hoping there might be a local member willing to check the vehicle out for me. I will happily compensate your time and knowledge! Wether you'd like to exchange favours (no innuendo intended) or make a quick buck please do let me know. I'm crazy excited and serious about this 240!

 

I would post the ad but seeing as I'm new here I should read the posting rules out before i potentially get myself into trouble! Please please please contact me through PM or chat, my number, or my email address (which i will provide personally to posters in the thread!)

 

Thanks a ton for the read, this is a rather urgent post so I will probably be able to reply 24/7! Excuse my grogginess if you catch me asleep.

I'm about 40 miles away from Huntington Beach, but as far as places to go, it's not so bad  Can't make it out that far in the next few days, but I've been trying to get a couple days off next week and could probably make some time. Shoot me a PM if you're still looking for help and I'll see if I can swing something.

Hi there, notWes, and welcome to the forum!   I'd be happy to go check the car out for you.  By chance, is it a '71 silver automatic? 

I'll shoot you a PM and we can chat.

I did meet with the seller of this car yesterday, gave it a look over, test drive and responded back to notWes.  The car needs work, no doubt, but it has a solid foundation to work with; some minor rust bubbling in only a couple of spots and some other minor paint imperfections that will require a complete strip-down and repaint later.  Similarly, there were some minor mechanical issues that will need attention, but it can be driven and enjoyed right now as the seller has been doing.  I thought that the seller presented the car honestly and accurately, although he isn't as knowledgeable (or, fanatical?) as most of us are about z cars.  Since the auction has ended early this morning, hopefully notWes will stop back in here to let us know.

Edit: added thank you to Patcon

EDIT: Thanks to Patcon for the notifications to us locals!  I might not have seen this thread in time to offer assistance.

I've decided to buy the Z! After receiving a very thorough overview from norcal z, I was able to make a confident decision. As he mentioned the car will require some TLC. But seeing as I'm in it for the long haul, perfection looks very attainable and I look forward to my future with my fellow enthusiasts! In due time you will see me appearing all over the forums with lots of questions and findings.

Thank you to everyone who has shown their support, I am so excited about this pleasant community here. A very special thank you to norcal z for his phenomenal attention to detail and insight during my purchase process. Couldn't have made the decision without you Gary!
