Another BAT sale 73 Z $25,000


Recommended Posts

1973 in Seattle just sold for $25K. I find it hard to believe that you buy a car and prep it to flip as this one was and make any kind of a profit?

Dealers have all kinds of resources at their disposal to paint and prep vehicles for sale.  Many work with local shops for paint, interior, etc. and supply regular business to them while others may have their own in-house departments to do various work.  There is a small paint and body guy I have worked with in the past that does work for all the local "tote the note" lots.  For the money, his work cannot be beat.  He offers lots of options depending on your budget and has very reasonable turn around.  I do find it surprising that the seller put the car up for sale with the chip on the front edge of the hood.  No one will know what kind of profit the seller made but at $25.5K, given the state of the Z market, it seems to be a decent deal for a great looking car.  Hopefully it runs as good as it looks.

Yup. It's missing the outer door kick plates with " datsun " on them. Many things not original on this 73 model if you wanna be picky before you throw cash around...  Seems like they did quite a lot to the car, suspension and brakes where done etc. I can't look under that paint what's hiding there, but with 25k the seller cannot complain imo.
