Thanks guys. You have been a great help. I just found another site with a buyers guide. http://zhome.com/Buying/fandpyz.htm I remember my neighbor had a custom 280zx with "turbo whine" and I thought it was sweet and fast! So when I found this one so cheap I got excited. Suposedly it runs but transmission slips. Sitting since ???? has '93 plates. It does have rust starting on the drivers rear fender lip and some small paint bubbles on the drivers dogleg:( Yep, spent it's life in the "salt belt", but very strait and complete from what I can tell. Will get a better look at it after work and damn if I didn't forget my camera. I have restored a couple of vw bugs and buses and realize the perils of unibody construction and the 100's of spot welds I will have to drill out to fix this z properly. From what I can tell this 240z corectly restored could be worth $6-8k. So it will be more of a "fun maker" than a potential "money maker". Anyhow, I will probably aquire it, make it run and drive it occasionally until I have time for a full resto. Pics as soon as possible. Thanks, Roy

Hello, newbe here. I have searched the site for a "buyers guide" but to no avail. A customer of mine has a '72 240z that has been stuffed in a garage for 15 years that I am going to look at after work today and I beleive I can get it very cheap if not free. Automatic trans problems when parked years ago, got it ignored. I had just a glimpse of it the other day and it looks to be in very nice shape and the odo reads 73K or 93k, I couldn't tell through all the dust on the windows. Anyhow, Is there a "buyers guide" for 240z's ? ie... -places to look for rust -more desireable model/engine -electrical/mechanical peculiars -parts availability Very much appreciative, Roy
