My goal is to find a well taken care of 240 with body, original paint z with no rust. as you all know not an easy task and many of those cars have 200k. I'd rather rather rebuild and replace mechanicals than those dreaded floor pans , frame rails and all the other cancer. i have a line on an original owner car but while it appears nice, i do not believe there have been any major updates other than routine maintenance so i recognize their are lots of mechanicals that will need to be performed. it is a 71 series 2. what would a fair price be for such a creature?

considering returning to the 240z world after 35 years. my 73 had a 100k and was running strong when i sold it. how many miles do these engines and transmissions last and at what point is a preventative rebuild recommended. i realize that driving tendencies, oil changes , preventing overheating and general maintenance all factor in. Just looking for some guidelines and advice.thx.
