And the 71 does have a vented hatch(first time I have seen one) I have built 4 73s before but this is my first 71 so I need to learn the subtle differences.

Now first things first I'm not a purist by any means but I know the value of an all original car. I hate the sun roof idea on a z but this one was at least done right. It is a :-(top style removable type and doesn't leak. I the 71 sight unseen as a parts car but after seeing it I would hate to pull apart such a solid car. I have a 5speed already so I'm thinking I will build the grey 73 as a restomod to drive and go back to original on the 71 because it's already pretty decent. So many choices, so little time.....

Thanks for the links. I have built 4 73 240s so my goal is to restore both and drive one to keep and sell the other to fund other builds. Looks like today it's going to let me post a few pics. Red car is the 71 grey is the 73. I will snap a few in progress pics today while I'm working on them.

I recently got 2 z cars and I'm looking for some acurate values on both to help me decide which will hold more value after being fully restored. Car 1 is an all original 71 240z (minus the added body kit) low rust and complete car. It has bad paint and surface rust. Factory a.c. and factory automatic. Car 2 is a 73 240z all original(minus a new head and 4barrel carb swap) absolutely 0 rust. Missing a few small things like the original mirrors, rims and carpet. I can't load any pics but both cars have already begun to get the body work cherried out and mechanical is next. I'm really just not sure what kind of value the 71 Will have due to being the auto. Any help would be awesome on values.
