I wouldn't do it on a nice car like a 370. Ditto for something you're going to expect to perform flawlessly at high speeds and under high stress (lateral G's, hard braking, etc). My frankenstein Jeep is one thing; I don't care that all the panels aren't aligned perfectly, or that some of the gaps will never be quite right, or there are still wrinkles in the transmission tunnel, or that I had to replace the front right quarter with the under-structure from another Jeep. On my Z that would drive me nuts.

On a track car I wouldn't care though, since chances are I'd be replacing most of the suspension and repairing the body multiple times anyway.:happydance:

Save up some money and look for a great deal on a clean used 370 sport/touring that was maintained well. Budget another $2-3k for a beat up Corolla or something to haul people and $h*t around in, and to drive in crappy weather when you don't want to mess up your Z. You'll enjoy your Z more if you aren't forced to drive it every day.

I used to make a lot of money on salvaged cars. Navy guys bought the hell out of them because "They looked and felt good" and allowed them to get into a car they really couldn't afford. Then the little stuff would start popping up. Shorted wires that ended in replacing headlight ballast, a trailing arm that was never replaced, but should have been and now tires and bearing are wearing out well before they should, water leaks in the first rain because the frame was straightened, but the door gasket wasn't replaced because it looked okay. Honestly if it's not a track car I'd stay away from it. We aren't talking about a 1 of 1 Ferrari that you'll only have a chance to purchase with a salvaged title. Wait a little bit let your pennies rub together and make more pennies that grow into dimes and get one with a clean title.
