Hi all,

One of my co-workers would like to know the value of his 1976 280z. He's the original owner and all of the serial numbers match. It's NOT a 2+2. The car has no rust and has been garaged its whole life. The paint is a bit dingy, but, that's expected. He said around 200,000 miles are on the car. I've worked on the engine with him during lunch one day. It's in good condition, but, at that mileage, I suppose the engine should be rebuilt. I didn't see any smoke, but, it's running rough. He doesn't drive it much anymore and is considering selling the car. Everything is stock. The engine is EFI.

Not sure what else to say about it. Let me know if you need other info to give me an approx value.

Thanks!

Hmmm, hard to tell, but if it has no rust and an original owner car, it's almost automatically worth more than 1K. I'd guess anywhere up to 3k, but it all depends on the buyer and how much they want the car..... and how much they are willing to put into it to restore/drive the car.

280 values are slightly less than 240's for the simple reason they were imported in such larger numbers that they are easy to find.

My guess would be between 1 and 3K with 2K to 2500 the most likely "saleable" price.Of course, on the west coast where there are many more Z's to choose from in decent shape, I may be being a bit optimistic...:cross-eye

Yep, it depends on the condition and the market, which will be seasonal and stroke of luck as well.

Look at www.traderonline.com and check it out, he may need to wait 1-3 months or so to find the buyer that will pay his price, it all depends on timing/luck and condition...

Mike, would it be possible to post some pictures? That might help his cause.

I'll see if he has any pictures. Good idea.

if stock and runs rough- $500. I picked up one for $487 recently in california w/ 160k on it.
