As far as arranging a visit to view the car beforehand please send me a private message here and I'll try to do what I can but I'm very limited to when I can meet this week, sorry.The car runs and drives but I certainly wouldn't trust it on any kind of long trip. Towing/flatbed is the way to go if you're coming from any kind of distance.By my eye it looks like both floor pans were replaced many years ago but need to be done again. The passenger side is the worst (the last picture) and has a piece of sheetmetal (painted black, that's what you see from below) laid in with the fiberglass repair with the POR-15 kit. It's OK for now and fairly solid all things considered, but needs to be done right.If I were keeping the car I would: install all new exhaust, including headers; replace all the fuel and brake lines; and replace the floor pans. Then new paint maybe and start in on the suspension I suppose... but you know it goes, you could just keep going and going. Aside from the floors they're really aren't any major rust spots - hood, hatch, doors, body panels, all of them are solid.Definitely not a daily driver, at most I drove it once it a week in the summer months. Never driven between November and April.The paint looks decent but does have flaws, a few small chips near hatch, a 1-2" chip in the very tip of the hood, clearcoat faded and peeling a little on the roof, little things here and there. Nothing awful, but certainly not A+ On Nov-14-13 at 07:51:23 PST, seller added the following information: I addressed the paint condition in the description above but wanted to add that I believe it has always been blue and was repainted at some point years ago with the correct factory color.I will include the original Datsun 240Z (S30) Owner's Manual and the original Warranty and Service Booklet and owner's card. Both are in good condition. The car was purchased new in Lynn, MA and to my knowledge has always been in Massachusetts.
