I have been corresponding with a person in LA selling a '72 240Z for a friend. I am interested in the car but would like someone here who knows Z's to take a look at it & give me an honest opinion of the car. Let me know if you would do this for me.

Thanks!

Los Angeles or Louisiana?

Los Angeles is a big place. You might want to be more specific.

Los Angeles. More as I find out things. The car has had work done by Pierre Z. Does Pierre Z have a website? Anyone got contact info for their shop?

Find out where in Los Angeles it is. I'm near Downtown and might be able to take a look for you.

No web site - Here's their listing from the online yellow pages.

If you haven't used it Google's new maps software is awesome. Say goodbye to Mapquest and yahoo maps:

The only problem with Marina Del Rey is its by the water of course.. And bar none all the "beach" SoCal Zs I've seen have all had tons of rust from the spray... Of course I haven't seen the car you're into but, well, be warned...

Thanks Eric. So far the pics I've seen look good. I don't think the car is worth what is being asked however.

Mark, It sounds like Vic is going to take care of inspecting the car for you. I live 3 hours north (Lompoc, CA) and will be driving through LA on April 24th to attend the MSA show in Orange. Just in case you need an alternate

Thanks Ed.
