Zed Head Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share #1297 Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) Too bad the 280Z's don't generate the same excitement. Seems like the 240Z's are becoming collector things, like Pokemon cards. The value is in the scarcity. The value could disappear overnight once a new thing comes along. No offense intended, just a thought. https://cardcollector.co.uk/collecting-pokemon-cards/ Edited January 14, 2022 by Zed Head 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/64671-zs-on-bat-and-other-places-collection/?page=109#findComment-634247 Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteunseen Posted January 14, 2022 Share #1299 Posted January 14, 2022 They were $1,000 beaters in the late '80s up until 2010 when everybody got all nostalgic about stuff. Damn internet!

DatsunZGuy Posted January 14, 2022 Share #1301 Posted January 14, 2022 As with many milestone automobiles, the 240Z has evolved from a enthusiast car, to collector classic and now a market speculator's commodity. I have owned a few over the years, but hearken back to a simpler time in my youth when my first Z cost me $3,500 in the early 1980s. I have mixed emotions regarding current values and would have to give serious pause about getting into the hobby today given the high cost of entry. I am just glad to have purchased mine years ago and restored it at a time when NOS parts were still available and reasonable. 4 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/64671-zs-on-bat-and-other-places-collection/?page=109#findComment-634251 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed Head Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share #1303 Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) This was on BaT a short while ago. Made it to $27,250. Looks like the reserve was $45,000. Red... The Hemmings article uses the BaT verbiage as the seller's description. I wonder if BaT allows that. Seems like free work. It's not fantastic but still has that tone to it. https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2022/01/14/after-some-minor-updates-and-refurbishing-this-1971-datsun-240z-is-primed-for-long-countryside-jaunts https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-datsun-240z-201/ Edited January 14, 2022 by Zed Head Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/64671-zs-on-bat-and-other-places-collection/?page=109#findComment-634275 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been Californicated. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-datsun-240z-210/ "This 1971 Datsun 240Z was acquired by the seller four years ago while in Alabama, and was subsequently repainted in metallic green." I saw this. So much wrong here. Especially the paint. Looks like an Earl Schieb special. They didn’t even fix the dent in the driver’s door. Lipstick on a pig. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/64671-zs-on-bat-and-other-places-collection/?page=109#findComment-634301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
