Ok well I know a beater !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! is way out on my budget, but as with anything you always want your dollar to stretch as far as possible. But my coworker and I were talking about me wanting a vintage car and He reminded me that the 240-260Z exists and that is what I should get. I am inclined to agree with him. Unfortunately they are hard to find in the slightly more beat daily driver area. I can find restored and basketcase. I just want to spend a little and find one in the middle

Anyone find anything cool locally? Please! (1975 and prior thanks CARB!)

Ideally under 10k, but the budget will probably be lower.

The plus is that it’s an early one, but being a ‘75 it probably has a catalytic converter. Or more correctly, had one at one time.

Most of the ones under $5k I saw when was keeping my eyes out here in Oregon had rust. That one in Salem isn’t bad though.

How about one that does wheelies?

You NEED a Z. You want a 1972 with as little rust as possible. A 1973-1974 will work if you replace the carbs with pre-emissions variants. Take someone with you who has extensive knowledge of the breed and knows where rust likes to hide. I’d offer to go, but I’m in Atlanta. 1970-1971s are a little lighter, but had issues with exhaust fumes and water getting in through those nifty little hatch vents, and they didn’t have an illuminated vent panel. Not a big deal, but the illuminated ones are SO pretty at night!

I know all about the rust :(. Its a sad state of affairs. I kinda really want a ‘74 260Z because my Mom had one back in the day all hopped up. What illuminated vent panels?
