Hey Everyone - I'm looking to buy my first Z.

What specifically in each of these categories below should I look for to ensure the car is solid?

• Rust
• Electrical
• Interior
• Gauges
• Transmission

Car runs and drives, power steering is broken, all A/C is there but does not work.

Lastly - it's an AZ Car, lots of dry rot.

Thanks for your assistance

We have a checklist thread (for the 280zx, but virtually the same for the 280z):

Either it doesn't have power steering or it's not a '78.
