Ehh its quite possible to find a 240Z with no rust…
your probably going to pay 12-25k from what I’ve seen for a completely clean restored or original mint 240Z…
If I can find an unraped 240Z thats clean… it doesnt have to be mind but as long as its intact and not rotting that will be my project car…
I will not buy one even for a stea lof a price that has rot on it anywhere as I dont want to have to deal with that bullshit

You will have a hard time finding a restored Z that is not ‘done’. Seems silly to buy a restored Z, only to hack it apart again. You also will not find a Z that is not restored and has no rust.
If you don’t want to deal with rot, you wo’nt be building any S30(240, 260, 280) Z, imo. At best you’ll be getting a car that is 26 years old. (1983 280ZX)

If you keep an eye out, it is very possible to find a non restored Z with no rott…
