Hi I am looking at selling my 74 260z and would like some input from the community on what it should go for. It’s got a good amount of modifications which I understand can sometimes limit your potential buyers. Here is a list of the significant mods. Thanks for looking and if you have any questions please ask.
 
L28 bored 30
Arias pistons
Custom cam

Triple Weber’s
Zx 5 speed

260Z came out in '74. '75 was 280z.

I know you're stressing trying to sale but what jumps out to me is you calling it a '75 260. 1974 was the only year the 260 was made.

I sold mine on CL. Lot of nuts but also honest people looking for wa Z.

Good luck with your selling attempt,  it's a nice looking car.  Are you flipping it or is it your's for awhile?

My guess, $8,000.

Thanks I put in the wrong year and it was finished a few years ago and I have rarely driven it since

Personally I like your list of mods, none of them are seen and improve the power, handling and braking.  Where you are going to take a hit is your personalizing of the paint,  I know it looks great to you but probably won't to your buyer,  also you are out in the Great North West where there are a lot of Z's so that might bring your price down too.

What price are you thinking about, what do really want for it?

The tow hooks and exposed grill probably aren't going to help.  Specs on the engine build would help, if you did it or a pro.  A professionally built engine could add value.  Home built, maybe not.  More details are always good.  "Treated" doesn't really mean anything.  "Bigger" brakes either.  No interior pictures.  You forgot to mention the rear strut tower brace, if that's what the red bars in the back window are.

Just stuff that pops in to mind.  Bringatrailer seems to bring some good prices.

It has a half cage, Toyota brakes not sure which ones. Also the car was treated with Ziebart. It was all professionally built. I am still missing a lot of info and when I return home next week I will get more detailed pictures. Thanks to everyone for your advice

Resto-mod cars really have brought some good money on BAT.  I think if you found a grill and some bumpers that would add a lot of value.  No offense, but it looks incomplete as it is.  Maybe even just a front bumper.

Here's a BAT 280Z up for sale.

Can't see a rear hatch glass weather seal.  Is the window bonded in place?  Glass or plastic?

In de States… imported!… yeah… but the 260z was MADE till 1978!  In europe we did NOT have the 280z  it was the 260z .. 1979 came out the 280zx.. and the production of 260z came at an end.

Here some pic's from a beautiful 1979 euro 260Z  (It was a probably a 1978 car made and was put on the road in 1979.)

That looks exactly like my 280.   

AC and heater panel, doors interior looks the same too.  I see fusible link covers but also a fuel rail for carbs.  Crazy but I'm glad you corrected me.  I can go to bed now after learning something for today.
