DatsunZGuy Posted January 9, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) This one should make for a very lively auction and colorful commentary! https://msclassiccarsllc.com/VehicleDetails.aspx?vid=751 Edited January 9, 2020 by DatsunZGuy Added video 3 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/63395-mint-71-240z-more-fun-coming-to-bat/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanTechZ Posted January 9, 2020 Share #2 Posted January 9, 2020 Beautiful car, with a serial number of 4684 and a production date of 5/70 wouldn't this be a 1970? Also wrong hubcaps and brake master cylinder. Why wait for the BAT auction to get the commentary going.

Patcon Posted January 9, 2020 Share #3 Posted January 9, 2020 Any thoughts on numbers? I think the market has gotten softer, so I don't know where to come down on this. I could see it as a six figure car or a 60k car... 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/63395-mint-71-240z-more-fun-coming-to-bat/#findComment-590699 Share on other sites More sharing options...
240260280 Posted January 9, 2020 Share #4 Posted January 9, 2020 Yes >100k. Spring/Summer would be time to sell. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/63395-mint-71-240z-more-fun-coming-to-bat/#findComment-590701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannyknot Posted January 10, 2020 Share #5 Posted January 10, 2020 How do these cars always end up at a dealership? It would be nice for a change to see the family of that original owner get all that cash. Nice car though. 3 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/63395-mint-71-240z-more-fun-coming-to-bat/#findComment-590703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcb280z Posted January 10, 2020 Share #6 Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Nice car No filter housing decals? I thought it came from the factory with them.

Yes I saw those hub caps right away too. :) The first thing I would do if I owned that car is pull those seats and sit them on a shelf. If indeed that is the original poor quality upholstery, they will begin to tear within the next 500 miles. That would sicken me on an original low mile car.

VIN 5200 or so. There wasn't any residue to indicate they were ever there. So I assume they never existed? 2 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/63395-mint-71-240z-more-fun-coming-to-bat/#findComment-590732 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see it as a six figure car or a 60k car... There is a guy 240zguild that shows up on BAT regularly that buys and resells z cars. He has recently begun assigning numbers to the cars he sells. The most recent, he calls "guilded series 001" that he claims sold for 6 figures. I don't understand what people see in his work that would warrant such silliness. I could see this car fetching top dollar due to its low miles and originality. I can MAYBE also see the Franklin Mint car selling for top dollar for it past history. But I cant understand why anyone would pay 6 figures for a modified car. Thoughts anyone??? 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/63395-mint-71-240z-more-fun-coming-to-bat/#findComment-590733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zup Posted January 10, 2020 Share #10 Posted January 10, 2020 That downpipe is quite the downer on such a beautifully preserved Z! Couldn't take the time to address it, or was it just too disruptive to remove and restore the finish?? Not a big deal I guess---preserved patina at best. 13 hours ago, Patcon said: Any thoughts on numbers? I think the market has gotten softer, so I don't know where to come down on this. I could see it as a six figure car or a 60k car... I agree Charles---it will be interesting to see where this one lands. I think in the upper side of 60K---as you said "softer". Maybe Jim Frederick would hazard a knowing appraisal??? @Jim Frederick 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/63395-mint-71-240z-more-fun-coming-to-bat/#findComment-590739 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the "summer/winter" flap housings were the first but after a Google image search I proved myself wrong, once again. Good to hear from you Bob.
