And we are VERY glad to have you with us Z fan. I look forward to hearing far more from you.

If that Z only brought bids of $17K - that doesn't help push 240Z values up much. Even with the flaws that Mike pointed out - that would be a pretty nice Z for $17K. But with the flaws - it isn't a $25K car either. You would have to pull the windshield and correct that paint… maybe get the original glass and seals as well.

FWIW,

Maybe it will take another 25 years at least, before they become hard to find. There's still to much of them around.

This car sold for $40,700 (plus fees I assume) at auction on Nov 1 in Austin, TX.  I wish I could figure out how to attach a photo with this new system "upgrade", but I give up.  Here is a link to the auction page and the results are in the second link below

You could take a screenshot, save the file, then attach the file.  Windows 7 has a tool in Accessories called the Snipping Tool.  Open it, circle the stuff you want, then save it as a very small file.

 

I've only been able to paste a few types of files in to any forum's software.  Most don't allow pasting images.

Yeah, I'm familiar with the snipping tool and I use it, but I don't see a way up upload the photo.  I tried the "My Media" button but that just has photos I previously uploaded and I don't see how to add new photos.

 

 I was able to link to the PDF with the auction results instead. 

 

Anyway, back to the subject of the thread...  Its funny how people are able to flip a car from one auction to another so quickly.  This car sold for $17K at the Seattle Mecum auction in June, then apparently sold by the buyers at their Austin store in August for $25K, and then sold again at this Austin auction in Nov for almost $42K.

I find it interesting that this car and the one that was just on Ebay below with a BIN of $65K, went up to $38K is only 41 cars apart in their VIN numbers.  Both cars seem to be restored to the same level and probably have close to the same value.  I believe the one on Ebay has a higher quality paint job but both cars are very nice in their own right.
