got my 71 240z, it needs some work. i need an e-brake cable and interior work. but e-brake cable more so than anything. i'll post pics when i get some.

thanks, actually getting a 71 240z now and trying to get a 72 uncracked dash.

i sratched the idea of getting the 280z. i didn't want to deal with out of state, seemed to be a hassle with paper work.

i've been very confused on which to purchase. but i've made up my mind. a 71 240z. will be getting either this sunday or monday.

thanks, i'll check it out

yeah he did. i've been talking with him the past few days and he would take it off if i decide to pick up this sunday.

alright i have a new option. instead of the 260 there is a 75 280z on renos craiagslist for 4000. i couldn't put link cause i'm on my iphone and not sure how to add link. well the 280 is in way better condition and i can get it for 3500. my concern with this car is the smog issue since its out of state. does anyone know if i were to buy this car and register in ca would i need to smog?thanks everyone in advance

would you happen to know how to remove the outer skin? and replace it with the other?

cool thanks everyone

was just wondering if a dash from a 71 240z would fit directly in a 73 240z? thank you in advance

oh Enigma forgot but the 260z isn't original motor. it has a 240z head and su carbs. the 240z is stock and all original.

thanks everyone for advice. i don't have pics of either car, lost them somewhere in my email. and i believe that the early 260z had smaller bumpers but not the same as 240z, i think. anyway i think i might have to go with the 240z even though its costing a bit more. i find it easier to find parts for it. the plan was to do a swap but not right away, gotta sweet talk my boss for that. the person i'm buying from is gonna be out of town for about 2 weeks so i'll update when i contact her again.

thanks. my goals are to have a nice daily driver with plans to swap in a l28et for added power and i like turbos. but still kinda leaning toward the 240z just because. still having a hard time choosing. i'll be puchasing within 2 weeks, hopefully. i'll keep updating as needed on what i might be getting. any other inputs?

first i wanna thank everyone for their advice in advance. i'm having a difficult time on deciding which Z to buy. the choices i have are a 74 260z, early model and a 72 240z. both are in the same condition. no rust, interior is good, exterior is good, frame rails are good, titles are in hand and clear. both are drivable with good suspension and no leaks of any kind. now with that said the 260z is about 2000.00 cheaper and about a 5-6 hour drive from where i'm at. and the 240z is about an hour or 2 drive away which has the tail lights i like over the 260 and 280 and the smaller bumpers. which of the two would you prefer?

just wanna say hello and Z's are sweet.
