Looking for 240z. Does this sound right?

Thanks for asking our advice REDLINE. Here is my 'for reference' story.

I paid 11,000 for my 1971 240Z. It had a documented 69,879 miles on it when I bought it. I was the 3rd owner and it was garaged since new. The interior was all original, with original gauges. The engine was stock and never been touched except for a pertronix unit and some ceramic MSA headers. It had panasports on it and tokico springs and struts.

It drove well enough for a car who had not had a tune up in a long time. It was repainted 15 years ago in the original 901 silver, and it probably could use a respray today to 'freshen it up'.

Was my car rust free, yes, all the usual places were rust free, but since then I have found some surface rust on the frame rails that I took care of. And I think I may need to look under my rear spoiler one of these years.

so in my mind 11000 is too much for a 73, that is not original in any way. Originality was important to me. Did I pay too much? Maybe, maybe not. I certainly should not have paid more. I think 6.5 to 8k is a good price point if the car is mechanically solid.
