The TV show "What's my Car Worth" featured a '74 260Z yesterday Oct 5 2016.  They came up with $15,000 for that particular 260Z.

I didn't see the episode, but I'm sure I'll see it eventually in reruns.  Was it an actual auction, or was it a mail-in request that they do before/after a commercial?  How did the car look?  If it was an actual auction, what auction house and what did it bring?

It looks like they are a couple of months behind the "on air" version.

It was a mail in valuation.

This is going to make it look like I watch TV all the time... but, I was watching Bithin' rides today and caught a few seconds of them driving a 2?0Z and they mentioned it had a turbo.  They were exclaiming it was fun to drive. I saw season 2 listed I assume this is season 2.  The Z was silver in color but wasn't on screen long enough for me to decide to figure out what model it was.

I'm pretty sure there was a 240Z that was on "What's My Car Worth" that they actually evaluated and went to auction (not just a viewer mail segment) in the last year or so.  I'll have to see if I can find it.  I think it was green and mostly stock.  I think it sold for around the mid 20's at whatever auction it was at.

The 240Z on "Bitchin' Rides" was shown very briefly a couple of times, but not featured in an episode.  There is some information about it on the Kindigit website.

That episode of "What's My Car Worth" aired in June or July of last year. I remember the featured silver 240Z  having JDM light covers which Josh commented would lower the value of the car. It was in fact sold at auction.

A 1975 280Z was featured in the Velocity Channel's "Chasing Classic Cars" with Wayne Carini. Here's the link for that episode:

It's sad to see that the owner let the car rot away like that.
