Thanks for the response. I thought that the stripe and blue interior were add ons. Where can I find out more information about the Series 1 240z? What distinguishes it from another 240? I will ask the seller about the particular rust areas on Monday. (I already sent two messages and was told she was out of town until Monday and would get back to me.) I will probably only bid if it stays at a reasonable level. I figure that it needs several hundred in immediate attention, in addition to some body work. I am a bit partial to the 240z. My father had three Z cars, and the 240 was his favorite. I also drive a Miata, so while appealing, the 280z convertible doesn't interest to me. Andy

Good afternoon. This is my first post here, so I guess I should cordially introduce myself. I'm Andy, living in San Luis Obispo County, CA. I am looking at getting a 240z as a project/weekend vehicle. I don't have the ability to do a full restoration currently, so I am looking for a Z that would take a few things in order to get it running, but not something that needs a lot of initial repair. I also don't have a large pocket, so as you can see my funding is limited. Anyway, I have my eyes on this Z: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1803831306&r=0&t=0 It is in San Diego County, which is where I will be going next weekend anyway. It does need a few things (tires and brakes), which I will be able to handle. I am wondering a few things about this Z. I have asked the seller questions about frame rail rust, the hatch, etc. (as those would seriously change my thinking about this Z). I'm waiting for a reply on those questions. I am wondering whether anyone has any suggestions for me to ask about this Z? Or any comments about it? In particular, I have seen only one other Z with this particular paint. Is the blue stripe an aftermarket add on, or was that stock? Further, it lists blue interior, which I am not too familiar with on a Z. How unusual is that? Let me know what you think!
