Default Proof That Old 240Zs Are Collectable

Wow, $2350 for a beater with a seized up motor.

THAT is restorable? Um, yeah, ok.

I'm much happier about my 280zx after seeing that. It's not a "Z" but it runs, has good paint, and did I mention it runs?

Those cars do pretty well if "restored."

I love 240Zs. I wish to own one some day, but they will be out of my price range in the not too distant future. Old school Japanese will be the next hot commidity in collectable cars.

By restorable they mean you can hack off the vin plate and put it on a nicer 240Z


Seriously it would be a nice miracle to see that thing on the road again but I'm not holding my breath.

240z's are badass. I guess that's a descent platform to start with if you were planning on pouring tons of money in it and build from the ground up, but definately not worth that much money to me.
