Prices of Z's are rising and rising in Europe.
Original europe ones, with no restoration of any kind will set yyou back 5000 euro's, sold in 3 or 4 days.
Restored ones go for 13/14000 euro's.

"Untouched" Californian imports are sold for about 6/7000.

I live in CA and currently own five 240Z's and three 280ZX's and I can tell you and everyone else, these cars have rust. Whatever someone posts on eBay or Craigslist or even your local newspaper (if anyone does that anymore) there is ABSOLUTELY no such thing as a "Rust Free!" 1st generation Z car. Unless it was hermetically sealed the first day it drove off the showroom floor or it's had a full disassembly restoration for about $100k from a professional shop that specializes in concourse restorations, it IS NOT RUST FREE.

Reminds me of the scar on my wrist from changing a coolant hose. Hope you're alright!

The car looks to be coming along well, but I'm always surprised how much rust hides in cars that look clean and rust-free.
