Guest 2fortyZ Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Okay, here is my situation. I need to sell my car because in a year or so I am going to be heading off to college. I need help finding a price to sell my car for, because most of the Z's in Autotrader are garbage and I really have nothing to compare the pricing to. I guess I shall make a list with everything my car has and has had done to it since I've had it and if you can, give me some estimate of the cars worth, or offers if anyone is willing to purchase it..... 1973 datsun 240z. Drivetrain 20,000 miles on the rebuilt 2.4 liter engine. The head is shaved a bit for a little higher compression New Z therapy SU's with the SM needles K&N air filters Electronic ignition Header/full exhaust Engine Dress Up kit from Motorsport auto The car originally was an Automatic, I converted it to a 5 speed manual, and I put the r200 rearend in with 3.90 gears. The rear has all new bushings in the mustache bar and everything back there. I also have a spare used 5 speed tranny and a rebuilt auto tranny from when we did the swap. I shall give these along with whatever other Z stuff I have to the buyer of the car. The engine runs perfect and has NEVER overheated on me while I have driven in traffic in 90-100 degree weather. To sum it all up, everything in the engine bay is practically brand new and the engine runs like a dream.... Brakes & Suspension I have put new brakes all around, on the front I just put all the new stock calipers and what not on, I did the rear disk conversion from Modern Motorsports in the back with stainless lines. As suspension goes, I lowered it with the motorsport auto springs about 1.5 inches all around. I also upgraded the front sway bar and added a rear one to the car. Interior & Exterior The interior of the car is immaculate. It has the original dash with ZERO cracks in it, it has a dash mat as well. New grant 'Z' steering wheel. the seats have some little stains (dime sized) in them, but they are in excellent condition for how old the car is.... New Full Interior carpet kit. The stereo is excellent too. Pioneer head unit, two 6x9's in sealed boxes, four 5 1/4's, two 2 1/2's, and one BRAND NEW 12" rockford fosgate punch HE, and a rockford fosgate 250w-2 bridged to 500w to the sub. pretty much its sounds SUPER CLEAN. It still has the original paint, but there are dents, dings, door dings, and some little rust areas. A little TINY bit of rust around the hatch area, the floor pans are perfect, the battery area is perfect. If the car needed anything, a paint job is all it needs, but even in pictures the paint looks super clean. The car also has a new front Air dam from motorsport auto and the smoked lense covers over the headlights. Current BRAND NEW things on the car are tires. They probably have about 300 miles on them...if that. If I have missed anything or you guys have questions, please give me some feedback. You may also get a hold of my by a PM or you can e-mail me at xxkevxx7@aol.com. I will be getting some pictures together as soon as I do a full detail on the car. So hopefully within the next couple days i shall get some pics together for anyone who wants to see the car. Thanks for everything.

Drax240z Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 It depends on area of course, but up here that car would go for (being a rust free california car) about $4k US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2fortyZ Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 i think im just gonna start the price out at around $5k. does that sound reasonable to you guys? if u ask me its a steal just for the fact that we have put so much money into the car, but im sure thats how everyone looks at their project cars AKA MONEY PITS......
