Good evening, I am the market to purchase a 280z. I owned a 78 back in the late 80's early 90's (High School & College), I had to sell it to finish college and now I am back in the hunt for another one... I have two current options to purchase one and need your feedback... First option, 77 with 95k miles, no frame rust, slight rust on passengar door, fuel door and in the hatch (I have not looked at the Z, this is the description from owner). Paint is fair and all stock. (5spd, Air, no leaks or smoke) apparently, the owner claims that the car was running well two weeks ago but went to start it this week and it is running rough...he believes it is the air flow meter. Current asking price is $3k, I have him down to $2k...not sure if it is worth the gamble. Second option, 78 with 140k, car has been repainted, Eibach springs and KYB's, cold air intake, A/C, 5spd. No leaks or smoke but the frame rails had to be replaced/fixed...(I have not looked at this car either). The asking price is $6k and appears to be in better shape. I have concerns around the frame rails, he spent over $2k to repair them and has receipts. I am open to your thoughts and feedback from folks who have maybe been in a similar situation. (Should I run from them both?) Thanks Buddjack
