Nice car, nicely done. Would agree - if no rust work needed this looks to be a great deal. You'll be sorry you let it go

 Keep it. Think of it as a 401Z retirement plan. Where else can you double your money in a year of two? Clean 280's prices are on the way up.

[wheee!]

Might I ask where you got the door cards? I see molded-in speakers... I am having a lot of trouble finding door cards.

You guys are not making this any easier . i maybe could have got a few more bucks for it. but what the hell. the door cards cam for a guy in cali i think i found him on the site. the only draw back is yoiu have to go elc. on the windows. thanks again guys this site is great.

Honestly, I think 8k is a give away price these days for a Z in this condition.  With no or minimal rust I would expect it to go for 11-15K fairly easy.   My two cents.

I agree with you Greg. It's, for the most part, in really good shape and should bring more than the asking price. JMO

Count me among the group that thinks the price is low. I still have a Craigslist alert for Z cars in my area (which isn't great for selling prices, obviously) and follow BaT pretty closely. Other than "trending up," it's hard to get a really good sense on the market, but maybe the most reliable indicator for pricing that I've noticed is condition. Cars in very good or better shape go for big (for Z car) money: $20-30k+; cars that need a bit of work tend to go for far less. Originality doesn't seem to be a major factor in prices; neither does the year.

My working theory is that Z cars don't yet have the same kind of intrinsic value as a collectible item that a lot of the other classic cars have. I think for many people, the value is in how "cool" they are. So knowing that you're looking at a minimum of $10-15k to do a very light restoration and body/paint on a "fair" car that costs ~$10k, it makes a ton of sense to just buy the finished product and save the trouble (and probably some money).

I bet you could take it  a CA or Texas car meet and get 50% more.  Otherwise, there's this.

Exactly, I look at mine and know for a fact I'm looking at more $$ to restore my 77 than this 76 is selling for. If I had the money I would be tempted to buy it.
