Hi all,
I'm new to ZCAR and i had a question for y'all. I recently found a 1970 series 1 240z 25K original miles with a vin in the low 1400's. Its a beautiful car with zero rust, an amazing paint job, with undercarriage and motor completely restored. I would be all in to buy the car for the respectable $11000 but it has some minor-extreme issues.
The first issue being electrical... i know the early Z's were plagued with electrical issues, this particular Z has issues such as the right rear tail light not working and the head lights not working, another issue is the transmission has problems engaging when shifting, im sure its mechanical and can be related to linkage. The last two minor issues being that the car has rocker panels and the interior was done poorly. I know the electrical has the potential to become a night mare and could cost thousands if i cant figure it out. as far as the panels and interior its not the factory original, does it affect value?
Overall the car has nice looking aesthetics but is not truly road worthy. everything mechanical is fresh and new with every single document included. Im just hesitent to pay the 11000 for something that is not ready for the road. Is this deal a steal or would it be best to walk away. I appreciate any feedback, its just hard to gauge the value on this Z.
Z y'all later
