Check both rails for rust and to see if mangled. They get really mangled in the front beside the trans for some reason (jack stands?). If it has mud flaps, try to check behind them, usually rust there. Check rear of fenders for rust, leaves get down there and it's rusts from the inside. Check quarters really good for rust. Get under rear bumper and looks at the insides of quarters for holes, get rust there from inside leaking, left side from antenna leaks. Check rockers for rust. Check under spare tire & Jack Kit. Jack kit holder is a big sponge. Check where rear crossmember bolts up in front of rear wheels, this gets rusted/torn. Tie rod ends, but that's any car.
NA drivetrains are pretty bullet proof, auto transmissions have the normal problems. Mechanical parts are available new, rebuilt or used since they made a lot of Z's.
Good deals are out there, but most I see are either ruff, rotting & overpriced or clean & overpriced. Just noticed you're in Cali, so you should be able to find some decent rust free Z's.
Bleh, just noticed this is an old post.....
