240z on ebay

[shoudt]

I am looking to get my first Z. Does anyone know anything about this one?

It seems pretty nice to me.

Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for a car I can drive, but not I can't afford a perfect one.

Thanks.

Doesn't look too bad....

Couple things that would bother me though... One is the paint job, seems it was either a redo or orange car originally that had a rather sloppy re-paint in blue. Notice the orange showing in the engine pic along the edge of the fender and cowl. Engine compartment looks kinda grungy with what almost looks like a brushed on black paint job....

A decent paint job with any body repairs is going to be a major expense. South Florida might be nice to winter in, but cars do rust there due to the salt air and humidity as well. I'd have to look closely at the frame and underside before I could pass judgement on the car.

If the price stays under ~5K or so, it would be a good deal... but the bid is almost 4K now and reserve hasn't been met.

exactly but for the money and if you can travel or ship i would choose this 73 over that 71

thanks for the input. I appreciate it. I let that one pass because of the advice

The black paint in the engine bay is usually where the car has been Ziebarted when new.
