I'm new to this, but I'm curious if you experienced guys would think this is a good place to start for someone looking to do a resto;

My advise to you when buying a ZED is to see it for yourself in the flesh before parting with any money. Zed's rust and although this car is from Southern California you still won't be sure it's totally rust free unless you use YOUR eyes.

Replacing parts in these cars can add up very quickly and with it does the price.

Good luck and if you can talk to the seller before bidding then all the better.

If it doesn't have too much rust I would think it would be a great candidate for a resto. To me it seems like the car hasn't been butcherd too bad. It still has the original hub caps!

The car has 200,000 miles on it. No question in my mind. The front bumper uprights are missing. Too bad there are only two pictures. I would imagine this car car to be completely clapped out and if there isn't much rust to deal with, would be 50/50 parts car or restoration project. The narrative spends more time talking about the car's history than a description of the car. I would look at the car before I spent much on it. It may be "all there", but I'll bet most of it needs to be replaced.

as long as it's not a flintstone mobile, you are safe for a first car providing you have time and space to tackle the resto.
