This 240z is in really nice condition. It was repainted with a good driver quality pearl white that really looks great under the sun. The body is extremely straight without any dents or noticeable scratches, however; there are a few minor niks here and there, but nothing of major concern. There are only two small dings on the entire body and they are very, very faint. There is one area where the paint has bubbled right underneath the gas cap as shown in the photos, it is very small. While the outside was repainted, the door jambs, engine compartment and the rear hatch were untouched. The door jambs do have some paint that chipped off and they show some surface rust which has been treated with POR 15. This is a fairly easy fix. The frame and the floors are solid. I do have the front and rear bumpers along with the original grille that will come with the car. I just prefer the Z aesthetically without the bumpers. The grille is in very good condition as is the rear bumper, however; the front bumper is pitted and could use a little restoration. The front and rear window seals have seen better days and are looking a little tatty and should be replaced eventually. The interior is in real nice shape. The seats are original and have zero tears and look great. The dash has one small crack just above the three pod gauge cluster and all the gauges are in good operating order except for the clock. The carpets are in good condition with really the only wear showing right behind the pedals. The rear hatch panels do have some cracking, but it's not terrible and is something that I would replace eventually. The headliner is excellent. All lights, turn signals and wipers are in working order as well and comes with an after market radio. The car mechanically is in excellent condition. The numbers matching engine starts right up and runs very strong. It accelerates effortlessly without any hesitation. It has had all smog equipment removed and has been upgraded with weber carbs, headers and exhaust. This Z sounds awesome. The car has been lowered about an inch and handles tight. The front tires have lots of tread remaining, but the rear tires should be replaced soon. The brakes work as they should and the original 4 speed transmission shifts nice and smooth and is very engaging. Overall this is a very nice Z that looks great and can be driven daily and enjoyed right off the bat. It would be a very easy and inexpensive restoration when your budget permits or you could just leave it as is and enjoy.
