Especially since the Phoenix car spent 15 years in Colorado. That means salted roads. Salt and paper thin Japanese sheet metal DO NOT get along.

I've got 8 Z cars right now, 3 show cars, 3 race cars and 2 project cars and I would rather get the '79. You'll end up with fewer problems in the long run and you'll spend less money.
Only 8 Z cars? You've got some catching up to do ;p

^ I've got four. lol

And yeah the '79 sounds like a better deal. These cars are pretty easy to work on, if you are willing to get your hands dirty and read the repair manuals. But I am warning you, once you get into these cars they become an addiction. Good luck man.

Yeah, I would go for the '79 too. And WildmaN has something worse than an addiction...
