It was more like that of a 60’s Formula 1 car, screaming, and didn’t always seem synced to the video. I noticed that too. Plus they edited in footage from behind the car but didn't change the soundtrack. The guy said that he took four trips down the mountain to get the footage. Pretty sure I heard a gear grind in the video also. I think that they just over-produced on the video. It's in the "collector" zone, early car, very original, etc. Collectors don't want to see people beating on their dream car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share #1658 Posted August 20, 2022 Here's a red 70. Didn't sell. $43,000. It got a higher no-sell bid the first time it was on BAT. $65,000.

bluez Posted August 20, 2022 Share #1660 Posted August 20, 2022 Another early one that didn’t make reserve. This one looked to be done exceptional well, body work, paint, engine, interior, all looked good. The only minus was the crappy looking frame rails, they certainly didn’t help, should be removed asap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also interesting that the Mohr auction house, with a higher grade presentation with professional photography, etc., failed to at least meet the $65k the owner achieved with the first auction.

bluez Posted August 21, 2022 Share #1662 Posted August 21, 2022 At 65k he should have let it go. Don’t think he’ll see that offer again for a long while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer X Posted September 6, 2022 Share #1663 Posted September 6, 2022 I guess if you have a Z that some actor drove once you can make a lot of money on it. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1984-nissan-300zx-50/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed Head Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share #1665 Posted September 8, 2022 Is a 12/70 build a 70 or 71? Controversy... https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1970-datsun-240z-82/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Maras Posted September 8, 2022 Share #1666 Posted September 8, 2022 My 240 was built in Nov. 70. According to the title and registration, it is a 71. The seller states that it has an Illinois title that says it's a 71. I guess he's just referring to the build year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zspert Posted September 9, 2022 Share #1667 Posted September 9, 2022 It is indeed a 71 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
