I did not speak to the seller. I watch Craigslist as well and saw that car come up. His advertisement was different than the one you posted. He was asking $2500 for a non-op car or $4500 if he had it fixed.

Hell, I was looking to get around $2500. for my non-op and it's rust free and comes with all sorts of goodies. I was going to let it go with the triples, 2 e-88's, 2 headers, 2 sets of new pistons, mallory with a pertronix convertion, 2 cranks, yada, yada, yada. I figuered I better keep it and try to finish it.

Now I'm convinced, you guys in California (and Arizona) don't know how good you have it. Rust-free Zcars go for A LOT MORE everywhere else!!

I guess someone needs to get a trailer and plan a road trip.

"Rust Free?" Is there such a thing as a rust free car?

(Not in Indiana obviously....)

They do exist. There are also a number of "low-rust" Zs. Here's another one located in the Golden State that would make an excellent project car:

Yeah, they do exist. Best bets for truly rust free are low mileage one or two owner cars that have been garaged all their life, preferably here out West. They can take some effort and/or luck to find, though.

I have one, in my case it was luck.

This one just ended and now is relisted. I think it was $3700 Reserve not met. Any guesses on what that rear bumper is from?Also i noticed not one pic of any of the typical rust prone areas.

hope this link works.

The guy in this ad:

http://sandiego.craigslist.org/car/488241577.html

changed his price AGAIN. He was $2500, then $4500, now he is at $6900. He threatens to use the pay classifieds and ASK FOR MORE.
