I have been reading these posts and it is a wealth of information. I am looking to buy a 71 240Z in Seattle Friday. It looks great with the subtle z fender flares, rebuit e31 head, 6 in 1 header, aluminized exhaust, mallory dist, bored out 50 over with konig springs, HID headlights and PIAA driving lights. Sounds almost too good to be true for $6500. What are your thoughts? I am not scared as hell of rust in the floor boards reading from what everyone has said. The owner has only had it for 8 months and is a home builder and is need of the cash. He says the only rust is on the back hatch where it pools under the paint. He also said that it smells of fuel which I am thinking is a filler hose most likely since he thought it a recent issue and he broke the e-brake cable. I don't know where to find the e-brake cable do you have any ideas? Dave Irwin lives right next to this guy and I am buying his headlight relay to help with the electrical issues and I know the places to look for rust other than I don't know if I will be able to pull the carpet back to see if the tarmat is there or not. It seems like the seller is straight up and a solid guy but he doesn't know z's and now I wondering if there is rust if this is a great deal or should a start with a clunker and build is from scratch. I don't have the space and time but I am willing to pay for it either way.
