woldson Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 The important thing is when what we know about z's becomes main stream and worth more, it is the same as what you have here, just.. more mainstream. Be proud that you were adhead of the crub and hopefully help others!!!!! Long live the Z! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollum Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Hey aux, did you see that ultra low mile 280ZX on craigslist a few months ago? Anyways, this guy wanted like 10+k or something for a dealer showroom condition, ultra low miles 280ZX. Basic NA with silver paint and grey interior, t tops, power everything. People are nuts, no doubt about it. And I hope the prices stay low, otherwise I WILL move on to another platform. The Z is the best balance of price and potential that I've ever found, and one could even say the S130 and Z31 are cheap for their potential too, just a different and heavier era. The question remains... what WOULD we switch to if the Z cars become too expensive to build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadianz Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 how about 28,000 for a 77 280z? welcome to canada! http://www.canadatrader.com/result/detailinfo.aspx?ID=30592960&pgno=1&srt=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrism Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I didn't buy mine for resale but it doesn't hurt to know that they hold some value. (Gonna take it with me to the grave) I still get just as many looks with my inexpensive Z as most guys get with there $35k + cars. Mostly because people are not sure what type of car it is they are looking at. Also because it has just as much eye appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trent240z Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I wonder how many younger people will get into these cars? I think the thought of carbs scares them like fuel injection scared us 20 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buZy Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 The more we keep talking about this subject, the more potential sellers doing market research read these posts, the more the value goes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfg240z Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hi guys....First time poster here. This site is a great resource...thanks for all the good info. I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but I think part of the escalated values are based on geography. Here in the Northeast, people pay a bit more...considering so many S30s rotted away in these parts. I'm lucky to have a picked up a solid 70 240z a few years ago...feel like the values are shooting up within the last year or two....maybe due to buyers in the rust belt seeking out solid cars...that are a rarity in their locales. Side note - I just cruised West Coast Craigslist posts (LA, OC, San Diego)....man you guys are lucky....so many solid cars to choose from for nice prices....thinking about shipping a couple back east Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimZ Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Nice strut bar made out of some scrap left over from the kitchen window...lol ...same stuff he made the "bumpers" out of. He keeps talking about it being a Cobra, yet it's all stock Z body panels (in different colors to boot) and a missing hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very clean. Kind of looks like my car but with better paint, carpet, color glass interior, exterior...etc. Well maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Asking prices and selling prices are two very different things. Actual price trends for clean driver 240Zs are basically flat, at least here in SoCal. A car that sold two years ago for $4,500 sells this year for $4,500. My 1971 driver sold for $6,500 18 months ago and sold last month for $6,500. Now its being advertised in Canada for $13,500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
