Parts for the 240, 260 and 280ZX's are plentiful. it's really rare these days to find one worth fixing up. Before you purchase check out the rear frame rails, carefully. These cars ALL rot in the rear frame area unless they have been specially treated or have never been driven in wet conditions. I have had dozens of them and all but a couple have had to have the frames plated and broad work on the undercarriage to make them safe. The outside bodies and paint were perfect on some and they were prepared to break in half underneath. they're good cars and the turbo ones will give you a real rush. If you want to stomp the gas do not underestimate the power you'll find when you do. Here in Ky you may be able to pick up running and driving parts cars for less than $500 easily. As far as mechanic's capability to work on one, if they can not their not a mechanic because they're one of the simplest cars I have ever worked on. Everything is easily available, rear wheel drive so the old timers can understand it also, and is a simple six cylinder inline engine. With a little modification these engines may be put into the little Nissan pickups also if you want a hot little mini truck. Takes some fab under the hood but is well worth it.
