Hi everyone, hope you guys are doing fine.

I am new with Z's and don't know anything about it and need your help.

I like older BMW's and last year I bought a 77 280z yellow it was sitting in the garage since 07 paid $1200 brought it home, changed the gas tank, cat/muffler, EGR, wire's, good tires, brakes all around, all hoses, detail now runs like a bullet. I drive ones a month and every time I am on the FWY three or four drivers following me.

Now, I like Z's more then a BMW. I met a guy he told me to get 70-72 that will bring more money if I want to sale it. Well, now I bought a 1970 Arizona vehicle for 7K no rust first owner. Anyways, my question is to you guys. The VIN. # end's 300932 does it mean anything? Someone told me over the phone you got a gold. He knows Datsun very well. What makes 932 so special. Any advise will be greatly appuciated. 

Thank you

I think he might be thinking you have HLS30-000932. That would be considered a low vin series 1. The way you are describing it I think you have HLS30-300932. Its not a low vin, but 240Z will increase in value a lot quicker than a 280Z.

What for increase depends on condition and what has been done to it, and above everthing else, what the buyer demand is.

I consider resale value as a side perk if anything because I have a 280Z. I don't have any intention of selling it. I also realise restoring it is money I will never get back. That goes for a lot of hobbies.

When you have a little time here's a great site that has tons of information on the Zs history.  http://zhome.com/

You may find your car on the Z car registers.  I just looked and I think you do have the 00932.  The 30,000s started around May of '71.  Great find!

 

Uh, one more thing, PICTURES, and welcome to ClassicZcars. 

Welcome to the group and your new diZeaZe!  Owning two S30's is a great way to start.  That 280 should be a very nice car, looks like you are getting it sorted out very nicely for dependability.  As to your 240, I think the VIN will be correctly stated as HLS30-0932 - same number of zeroes, just edited differently.  Check the plate on the driver's side "B" pillar to get your build date and report back to us.  One-owner cars are special to all of us so think of this one as a bit of a heritage obligation you have assumed.  Don't be afraid to start a thread just for this car as you get further into it.   We're all a bunch of voyeurs, need lot of pics and details.
