hi.. This is my first post to the Z Car forum, there is some great information on here and i appreciate anyone taking the time to read my post.. cheers
I'm in melbourne and im looking to get a 70s model Z, fully restored if available. If anyone has one in Melbourne please post details here...
I have gone out to see this 1977 - 260z 2+2 in frankston, its listed on carsales:

It does look immaculate.. they are asking 9K for it with a roadworthy and I feel that maybe im better off waiting for a straight 70s z not the 4 seater? I have read a lot about handling being not so good with the 2+2, what are your thoughts? the steering was heavy but I still like the way it handled. I'm more just worried that the motor is not in a good way, the owner is very vague about the state of the motor and there is no service history..
What view of the 2+2 do you have in comparison to the early 240z's?
Cheers,
Damo
