What's it worth?

[sharkman]

My aunt has a 1970 Datsun 240Z, VIN# HLS300073. The odometer reads 29022 miles, but I am not sure how accurate that is. Is this car worth anything or is it simply spare parts? It does run, but not very well.

I was told there were only 300 1970 Z's produced?

Hey! Welcome to the club. In reference to the above, about 500 or so 240Zs were built in 1969 (1970 model year) with a little over 16,000 shipped and sold during 1970. Check out www.zhome.com for more historical info...

BEFORE assuming it's only good for spare parts, let's see some pictures! Some folks may be interested in the whole car! Or, if you are not interested in selling it, there are tons of excellent opinion-makers on what is or is not repairable/restorable for the money you may want to spend. Of course, anything is restorable for the right $$$

Again, welcome! And let's see what your aunt's car looks like!

Err, what kind of shape is it in. Running badly can be corrected. '73rd' Z would be worth something if it's complete and in any kind of reasonable condition, body and interior wise. Pictures????

[Gav240z]

hahahaha i suppose it could be interpreted that way but although I'm sure his Aunt is very pretty, I'm only really interested in the car .

Welcome Sharkman!

What part of the country do you live in? If you are any where close to Colorado, I would be very interested in buying your aunt's car. Please post some pictures of the car.

Hey Sharkman,

Plese tell me that you are on the East Coast! I'm interested. I have cars 40 and 95 now, and there's always room for another 1969 manufacture date Z.

Hey 26th-Z, ya watchin' this? Hope it ain't green with butterscotch interior.

Why hasn't Sharkman responded? Is this a fellow member using a new alias to try to fool us? I wonder........ this sems like one of those "too good to be true" deals... What does everyone else think??????

[cremmenga]

Speaking of to good to be true, I didn't want to tell you guys this but i just have to. I purchased my 1972 240z, granted it is a bit rusty, and interior needs some help, and the engine runs, for only $450. Good deal or what?

Too good to be true? he hasnt even said how much he wants for it.

Early cars in original condition, not too badly rusted, can fetch stupid money.

If you look on ebay, the 240z currently listed range from asking prices of $2000 to $19,000.

completed listings (cars that actually got sold) range from $460 to $5600

Ofcourse that all depends on the condition of the car.

maybe you should have a look at ebay and get a feel for prices and conditions, and post a few pictures here too.
