As i have invested few 1000 hours into mine.. i'm not selling under 35 grand euro's that is.. (You get a near new 280zx for that..) The biggest problem is there are (in my country) few people that remember how good a 280zx was as it was a very expensive car overhere.. Yes they were rusty but also very relyable. If you did the whole anti rust treatment you can have a good car for a very long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC871F Posted March 6 Share #2607 Posted March 6 My comment was simply you never know what things will value for in the future. I've sold some really nice 280ZXs over the years that today would sell for $25K, and it wasn't that many years ago. They are really fun cars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 280zx is more of a grand tourer, and it's interior and handling are much more modern compared to the 240z 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchzcarguy Posted March 18 Share #2612 Posted March 18 Nice car but a lot of color difference between front fender and door.. they were not painted at the same time.. (See the small pictures on bring a trailer.. there it's very visable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannyknot Posted March 18 Share #2613 Posted March 18 Love it, very nice build and built by a guy who knows 240Z's. Updated but still largely original looking, the only thing I would change is the 17" wheels. Who knows with 240z market being so low at the moment but he should get $60,000. I'm not seeing any body modifications to deal with the extra power and having built a 240z with the same kind of hp I can tell you when that car hooks up it will twist, the torque steer will be a real handful, but then, that can be a lot of fun too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The walk around video of the car seems show more of a uniform paint finish. Edited March 18 by DatsunZGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I have, a white/red 73 that I've put refurbished paltech round top carbs in. I'm planning to sell it soon. Too much kids college tuition stacking up. Bought from the original owner 4 years ago. I've now listed mine on Hemmings Auctions. Be gentle. https://www.hemmings.com/auction/1973-datsun-240z-bains-la-602827 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
