Check it thoroughly for rust or hidden rust

I had one and they are Awsome...a pocket rocket! Only problems I encountered was the "recycled steel"...they rot while you look at it(from the inside out). I also had a Datsun 2000 convertible(the last year before they brought out the 240Z. Mechanically these cars are great but the bodies don't hold up worth a damn.

havent had one myself, but my sister had a 240z, and a good freind of mine had a later 280zx ..awesome cars..but as said above, some massive rust issues.. in fact, the 280 was found to have floor board repairs. the only problem was they were done with DUCT tape and heavy cardboard, then sprayed with undercoating to hide it.. but at least it was "good" duct tape.. :lol:

In my younger days, I owned an '82 280zx. Awesome car, you would not believe how well they handle in the snow!! Very agile and sturdy frame. I wrecked mine into a concrete center divider at 130 MPH, and it still started up fine. It wasn't driveable, but me and my buddy both walked away unscathed. Fun car to drive. They do sell aftermarket replacement body parts if you really wanted to restore it right.
