I wish you luck buddy, but you can do a world of good searching all the local car clubs in the country. Yes I said the entire country. They usually have some of the best examples. I found my Z using the North Carolina Z club web page. Good luck!
Buy DATSUN 240Z??
Hi all,
I'm looking for a Datsun 240Z for around £6000. I recently was very let down by a garage that sold the one i was going to buy! So, now i have around £6K sitting in the bank and i'm really struggling to find such a good bargain again! I'd really appretiate some help.

I know how you feel. I was too hesitant on the first car I spotted. Then had two other guys sell their cars to a classic car dealer after I made an appointment to see the cars the very next day. In my book, that's somewhat unethical, but it seems to happen fairly often...
With persistance, within a couple months I did aquire a nice, rustf free example that I'm currently restoring.
Keep looking on this site, Craig's List, eBay, etc. There are always Z's for sale. It's just a matter of timing to find the right one. Good luck with your search!

Matt,
Is left hand drive critical to the deal?
We'll have a 73 in the "come back together stages" by the owner of Z Therapy, hopefully soon. It keeps getting preempted by other projects.
Matt, ask the question here good luck.

Matt-
My recommendation would be (if possible) go and view the car of you choice in person before the purchase. So many of the ebay/craigs listings are not entirely true, it would be cheaper in the long run to know exactly what you are purchasing with your money. You can spend big $$$ on fixing rust and painting that pictures can hide.
Good luck, and the old saying "buyer beware" could not hold more true for classic car purchasing.
Life's a journey; enjoy the ride!
