Tanuki Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I know that with classic cars it comes down to "whats it worth to you?" But I thought I would throw this out here to a group of enthusiasts and get your opinions. The car is a 72, and has no rust. New paint in the last couple of years. 75K original miles. I found it by putting up a want ad and the guy called me up locally. Anyways I have seen all kinds of pricing on z's so far, and honestly I am going to make it a Hybrid Z anyway, but what do you think a fair price range would be based on these images? I plan to go up tomorrow and make an offer/ drive her home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240zBoy Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Dam that is a clean Z. I want it lol. 7-$9000 depending on many factors that can make or break a z-car and if you can tell it lives up to his statement of no rust and only 75k. Just my opinion though. Good luck on the car.

ModernS30 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 That's a really clean looking car. If you get it for around 2,000 then your getting one great deal. Judging from pictures, but pictures always make cars look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norstar Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 (edited) 7-8000 may be a fair price considering its condition/mileage and the fact the dash looks perfect.Nice Edited February 9, 2016 by norstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernS30 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 ok, since I saw the post, I think 7k is a bit high, unless it is really rust free (Its not, they never are, unless it was a bare metal resto. I would really think, with my experience with the number of z's Ive seen for sale, I saw a 1970 240z that was auto for 2000. I saw a 1978 280z one owner 58k original miles, auto, for 5800. This car really was the cleanest z I had ever seen. garage kept since 78. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 The BIG items make the difference. Rust? Paint? Salvageable Bumpers? Accident history? Dash Cracked or Drilled? Seats Ripped? Electrical System Tampered? Running? Gauges all work? Clean/Uncracked interior panels and center console? If all of those check out...then I would say 6K-8K is a fair value for a normal wear and tear car of 75K miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24OZ Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Is it really rust free? Makes me wonder seeing that it's parked outside with a cover over the top in snow... It's a constant struggle keeping these babies rust free unless you live in a very hot climate with no humidity, which this one is clearly not living in.

Tanuki Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 It has only been there outside for 3 months. The owner took it as trade for a motorcycle he was selling. I ll find out how it is for sure tomorrow. I'm skeptical as well, but gotta keep my hopes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sileightygx Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 well it looks like one great find from the pictures. now you just have to inspect it in person and cross fingers it really is in good condition. good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigez Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I say start the offer at $3k. I wouldn't go over $4500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueTurboZ Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Very nice find! Looks great. Do you know any of the history - # of owners? Be careful, could be interesting driving it home if the snow on the roads is an issue ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhartig Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 My '72 originally came from California but spent most of its life in the desert. It is as rust free as they come, same color and wheels as the one your looking at. Now it never sees the morning dew, let alone any rain. There were about 40,000 more miles on mine. The PO gave the car a good general resto for almost all of the wear components and a new suspension, 2.4L engine with an AZC manifold and a Holley carb. Badly cracked dash. I paid just over $5k. I would check closely for all the usual rust areas (review them on this forum), oil leaks, and run a compression test. Price would probably be between $3k to $5k depending on the outcome. If there is minimal rust you can't go too wrong. Buy it and get it into a garage. The few Z's that are still rust free deserve good homes.
