well, turns out it was a datsun 280z 2+2, four seater. the rust was minimul on the frail, the engine ran great, shifted beautifully, and threw me in my seat, so i got her. it needs new paint, so im going to work on that first. the story was that it was in a guys garage for 15 years before being sold to the seller. it only had 3,500 miles on it 1998 as records show, but the last owner ran the miles up to 100,000. the bottom of the seats need to be reupolstered too. i will sure have fun with it though! thanks for all the advice!
