How much did you pay?!?

Post pictures of the condition of your Z when you first got it and how much you paid. Also what year you made the purchase. Figured this would help people that are currently in the market for a Z car. Its also fun to post pictures of your ride!

Both cars came with crack free dashes and the 71 has almost NO RUST...the car was parked for 28 years before I bought it...and the 70 was just a great deal!

So now the State Sales Tax people are checking to see what you reported as the Sale Price when you paid the sales tax upon transfering the title.

On average - according to the State Sales Tax records - first generation Z's sell for $500.00 or less here in Florida. When you have an accident, the Insurance Claims Adjustors draw on that data base to determin the ACV of your first generation Z. Then you have fun trying to convince them it's worth $8K.

"tell me what you paid".... your kidding - right? Anyone with a brain might tell you what they told the sales tax collector....

FWIW,

I bought her sight-unseen for $4000 and this is the picture set from the craigslist listing.

Had my dad go down and take a look and on his word, I transferred the money.

A few days later my brother sent me a picture message on my phone saying "Look at the car Dad bought me!"

Then I was finally able to go home the next week and pick her up! And I snapped these.

*BTW* Carl, I was able to convince the licensing office I bought it for $900 bucks so I didn't have to pay the full tax. The NADA was like $5500 or so and I wasn't about to pay the tax on that.
