1973 on Bat $$

[gundee]

Ends tomorrow. May 11th. Seems nice. I just don't like that interior color with that green. High miles too.

I have been following that one as well.  Another Z in the latest RASH of Z's that have hit the market.  But this one is extremely original and drive able.  I am looking to see how far in the 20's it may go. I think it may hit 30.

Sold for $18,250.  Considering it is a '73, the colors are not the most popular, and just a few condition issues, I think it went for a fair price.  You are right, classic Z's have been popping up everywhere lately.  Unsure if it is hurting the value or helping it but I have not seen anyone get a "steal" unless I missed an auction.  Makes me thankful I picked up my '71 240z when I did in 2014.

Agreed, no way I would have acquired my car for what I did in 2008

I almost look smart for purchasing both my datsuns right before this price increase... It is almost as if I know what I am doing...

 

Which assuredly I do not.

I still can't get over how many of these cars sit in storage or someone's garage for umpteen plus years. The driving experience is a reason to have one I think. There again either you are old enough to appreciate one or too old to deal with it. 18K is probably a good price though and not too much to get the issues sorted. HAPPY DRIVING new owner.

 Too many of the Z's were parked because they had a minor problem that would have been easy to fix. Carb tuning, brakes, valve adjustment were some of the most common reasons I've run into. Sad.

Unless of course it's up on jack stands, just as much fun to work on as drive
