thanks man. thanks for that, i also have found another one im considering. with work already done on it, ready to drive, only been parked a few months and apparently just needs a fuel pump. this one i could probably get for 9k. but id like to start it and drive it before i even consider it. anywhere i can get a pump on the fly and how hard is it to replace a pump in these?

I'd like to tell you guys what I'm paying for this, I thought I was getting a decent deal until some recent conversation with some other Z guys, they think 5k is over priced for this condition? Am I getting ripped guys?

All really great info and its all appreciated. Thanks for the warm welcomes and tips, tricks, and advice. Can't wait to have it home and get to work on it. Will be doing research and looking into things until then when I have time. I'm in Winston-salem btw!

Thanks man I appreciate it! and yeah, that's what i was afraid of but it was her doing not mine, so lets hope im not in that boat. haha Thanks man. So far I'm really liking the Z community. I'm glad the majority of people who I've asked think I found a really solid car, I was kinda afraid it would be complete **** when I heard the word rust when I was talking to the owner. I hope it cleans up real nice. I'm still new to these types of cars and the terminology and what-not, I've looked a little bit but just found stuff I have no idea what it means..could you maybe link to me something beneficial to me or list what all I should repair/replace? Right now heres what im thinking: maybe a lil sea foam Clean the carbs (when i pick up im getting spares that are said to work great) replace all vac and fuel hoses replace spark plugs/wires replace all fluids replace fuel filter i was recommended by someone to put some acetone in the empty tank and let it sit for a while then drain, but idk? what else?

Hope everyone is well. Just wanted to post up, introduce myself and get acquainted with the site and the members :classic: I'm Hunter, younger than most Z owners probably, come from a newer generation of cars, know my way around a boosted car and this will be my first go with carbs and an older vehicle in general! Always loved old classics and the 240 always had a spot in my heart. My current car has absolutely nothing wrong with it, had it for a while, always keep it current and did all the work myself. I got froggy one day and said screw it, I need a change of pace. So I put it up for sale and am looking to buy a Z. I hope I am making a wise decision here fellas! Anyways, the car I'm going to get has been sitting in an old lady's garage for 8 years. She bought it from one of her husbands friends after they had passed, who was the original owner, so its basically a one owner car. It was sitting with gas in it AND she started it after all that time..definitely needs a GOOD tune up and I would like advice on what to do and where to begin! Body seems to be in great shape though. Okay this is long enough..Here she is: What do you guys think? Where should I begin? I'll be picking it up next Sunday, April 5th i believe it is. Like I said, it's been sitting with gas for years..and it runs but rough. A few plugs keep getting gas on them/fouled out, the closest ones to the firewall. Engine it self sounds very healthy though. I will post up a youtube link to the car running soon! Thanks for looking!! I cant wait to experience this thing Take care everyone!
