Z cars are rust prone just like 914's. My wife was the origional owner of a 260 2+2 which we sold when the first daughter came along. It was just too hard to wrestle the large car seats of the day into the back seat so most of the time the wife had to ride in the back with the car seat in the front. It was sold to a friend of a friend and then our friend bought it. So one day she says that she really wishes she still had it so I bought it back. Had to replace both front fenders and patch the floors, and this car never had been out of Colorado. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
