Update: I have decided to pass on this one. Lots of cancer and owner has someone interested in hauling it away.

I have access to a 1971 240 that has been in storage for several decades. I plan on purchasing it with the sole purpose of selling it. It is located outside of Detroit and I will essentially be buying it site unseen based on 1 photo sent to me by the owner. Once purchased I will be able to better determine the condition and the history.  At this time you can reach out to me using hzkd7d@yahoo.com and let me know your level of interest. Thank you.

Quite dust free for a "garage find".  Why am I skeptical?  

Looks like it may have been covered and they might have dusted it off for the pic...Im looking at it tomorrow and will have a better idea.

That sounds like a better plan than buying it "sight unseen based on 1 photo sent to me by the owner." as mentioned earlier.

Are you familiar with early Zs and know all the possible problem areas to check when you see it?

No but any info would be appreciated. I'm no stranger to old cars and I assume rust is a big issue especially for Midwest vehicles.
