Had a 72/73 240Z back in the '70's too;

Dito on the rust problem ... right at the bottom of the front fenders, just behind the wheel well...... check it out! There is very little metal there to hold the fender and when it rusts, look out?

Cheap? Every so often I see them here for $5K "Canadian", and they look like they're in good shape. Nice toy car, the rawest of the Z series by Nissan. Mine had a straight six, aluminum block with dual weber carbs and 3/4 race cam, was a beauty to drive, did 130Mph.

Mine eventually rusted too. Eventually the fenders let go of the frame and would flap in the wind. Not good. I was very young - 20's; and drilled to holes just high enough to get into some good metal and then attached a bungie cord from fender to fender to hold them tight against the frame.

Owned the car for about 6 years, mostly a second car, but it was real fun. Good luck!
