The Dragon

I just wanted to thank all of you who replied to my thread. Your comments and advice really helped me out. I just got a new job, and with it I will be able to purchase the poor 240Z that needs so much TLC. I decided I want to pursue the project as long as the guy doesn't sell the car before I can buy it. so thanks to: laffeaux, 2ManyZs, Marty Rogan, and Ed If I get the car I will be doing all the work myself and I will post many updates to show her progress. I also wouldn't mind a few extra hands, so if anyone is interested and they live in the North Illinois Suburbs, leave me a message. Thanks Again.

i am located about a half hour north of Arlington Hts. I currently reside in the town of Wauconda.

I don't have enuf $ to go to Cali and pick up a rust free girl. Although I really want to, I saw this car on the side of the road, hasn't been driven for a while. And I hate to see such great cars go to waste. I would love to save it. The owner told me that the engine is in prime condition. I still have to look at it, and test drive it. but check out the pics of it in my photo gallery. there is no rust on the body, so i dont think she was sitting outside.

From what I heard, the floors have all been replaced because they had rusted out, they are intact now. And the only other rust is on the rear bumper.

I will be doing all the work myself. I want it to be my project. I know it will be fun, but I am just wondering if it is worth what the person is asking for it. He wants $1200 for that car, and it needs a lot of work. Is it worth $1200 or should I keep looking?

Hey Everyone, I am a new member, but a long time fan of the Z. I am currently looking to buy one, and I had the good fortune to find one. The person is asking $1200 and I think he will come down to $1000, but I am not sure what it is really worth. The car is a 1971 Datsun 240Z and it has an L28 motor in it. Please look at the attached pictures and let me know what you think. The cars runs fine from what I know, and really just needs some new brakes (on the mechanical side) The body definately needs some work. Is it worth $1000? I know he put about $3500 into it, but it sure doesnt look like it. :devious:
