I'm gonna go look at a nice 77 280. I only got to see the outside, but it looks restored....it's sweeeeeeett looking. It has 125K on it and the guy is askin $5K. What should I be looking for, in the engine area, underside, areas that like to rust? sounds I don't wanna hear. I'm not too familiar with the the earlier z's so I'd apreciate some help on what to look for. What would the going price be for a this car in excellent condition?

thanks,
Josh

Just some usual suspect z-rust areas: Under rockerpanel door/carpet trim, under floormats, battery shelf and where it is welded in wheelwell, lower fenders behind front tires and in front of rears, under bottom corner edges of hatch gasket, front control arm mounts. If you can't get to floor pan at rear of seats, at least look around the rubber plugs visible under car in same area.
