Should I travel 5 hours to get this car? Any Opinions???

[Guest Anonymous]

1975 280Z, body looks in Fair/Good condition, looks like the guy before started sanding the rust and primered those spots, interior is ok, seats have a couple rips, dash is cracked, its an auto, odometer says 67,670 (prolly 167K or even 267K) Doesnt have keys so I'll have to get a new ignition and has Salvage Title but, its only 30 bucks add my 60 to drive there an even $100 for the car, gotta make up my mind by tommorow, any opinions?

If the body isn't bad and the repairs are already underway than buy it, for 100 dollars?? Worst comes to worst, you drag it back and a few weeks later you decide its not the z for you, so strip the car, sell of the parts easily make your $100 investment back, plus some cash for your time and keep some rare or especially good condition parts for yourself.

I say if you have the time go get it.

Get the car, worse comes to worse it becomes a parts car. Jus make sure to check the frame rails and floor boards for rust. Rust under the battery tray is common. It's really getting hard to find clean 70-78 Z's now unless you pay major $$$. 8)

v8 guy:

 

are you going to buy a car from a dude around fort dodge?

If so, I think I know who is selling it.

 

What it's worth is up to you, but if you decide you want to part it out, I can come by and buy some parts from you, I'm in Cedar Falls, IA.

 

I have a long 'wish list' and have been looking for some parts. Drop me a line if you get the car or just want to talk shop. There is also a good import salvage yard in Homestead, I've been trying to find time to plan a trip.
