It's me again with another find. A 78 Black Pearl Z in perfect condition.One owner with original bill of sale and loan payments.Been kept inside until last year.Been covered up.NO rust no dents or dings,Original paint. dash has 1 small crack low milege. I need to make an offer soon so please give me some figure.

Don't know if this will help much in determining the value since it's a couple of years old but it's a rather extensive discussion on the BPE.

Thanks Stephen I didn't know a thing about 280s until tonight when I started reading about the BPE and I am just about sure I will stick with early 240Z'S. They are easy to wortk on and appreciate in value plus I love the way they look.
