I have opportunity to buy a 1979 ZXR runs and drives but needs body work, paint, battery, starter, and transmission. Price: $1000 Question:If the aforementined work is done, what would a reasonable resale value be? ---considering they were stated as rare in 2003 - date of article. After reading the article reference posted by Mike I would not want this for my own, but maybe investment for resale to get the Z I really want. Thanks, Mike for your help I'm not real knowledgeable about the mechanical end of it, just a lady who has to have a Z . My son would help with maintenance, and I would learn from him. Thanks all.
