Wow... that Z32 is riced out so bad I'm surprised it doesn't have a Honduh sticker across the windshield.

124000 on it and the guy said he changed the timing belt when he did an UD pully modification

the passenger side looks like it got hit at about 20MPH by like an accord or something

lucky would be only the door and front fender. rear quarter isn't lucky, lol, luckier than frame damage though.

look a little further south and find a perfect one for much less.....try san diego area.....i found the z32 in good shape--no body damage, no engine issues, no interior issues....for 2-5k.....keep loking, bro---you will not regret the wait......do not buy surprises when you can get a cleaner car for less.......this one is owned vby someone who wants to make a buk on someone elses ignorance....do not be that guy, ok??!!!.....ps---i will not buy the z32 or any other car these days, so it is ok to ask me questions about z's....

Okay so now i have another offer, a guy offered me a rusted 1970 240 VIN 15455 he says the rust areas are "on the rear quarter wheel areas and drive side front fender" and a ding in the back area. How much am i looking on replacing the rust parts, and how hard is it to do? Am i getting screwed for 1200? Should i wait?

HARD is always a relative question... DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING?

That depends on your definition of "screwed."

trust me, sugah, the RIGHT one will come to you, not you to it.......remember that------and, once you find one if you decide it isnt the right one, iyt is very hard to sellnow----bad market----so pick your choice not with your heart but with your head------if something looks troo hard or too spensive to repair, then keep looking until the granny owned, only driven on sunday with 25k miles on it for 2500 will come up-----donkeybop......an d there is ALWAYS the 50th anniversary edition with only small projects remaining to be done for ........she is pretty and runs great........
