The $3k '79 in Flagstaff is a much better buy. It's a 5-speed, analog dash, manual climate, slick top, 2 seater. Much better than the $3750 '83, auto-tragic, t-top, digital dash, auto-climate in Phoenix.
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.

^ 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.
