Early Z Market Value

Recommended Posts


Great topic, Harry. I am the proud original owner of a ''71 series 1 Z which has recently undergone a frame up, very original, restoration. My main point; there aren't that many series 1 cars left that are in restorable condition. Of those, most will probably be highly modified instead of restored to factory specs due to the availability and cost of original parts. Value was not the primary consideration for doing this restoration which cost me in the $30,000 range, but I have been told by those in the business that I got off cheap. Nissan ended up doing only about 40 instead of 200 restorations due to availability of part. Considering all of these factors, I believe that these original restorations will rapidly increase in value in the near future. My car has many new, not reconditioned ,parts that can only be found, very rarely, in dusty store rooms or in the dreams of a restorer. I am by no means wealthy, but, having owned this car for over 32 years, this is something I had to do, something my wife and friends will never understand.
