jtmader Posted September 24, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 24, 2009 I just happened to see that a 1973 240Z will be part of the Barrett Jackson auction coming up in Las Vegas. The auction goes from 10/7 to 10/10/09 and the Z will be auctioned on 10/9. It's in lot#319. You will see it if you go to their website. I believe the Speed channel is covering the event. I think it will be VERY interesting to see what it goes for. Any guesses? JTMader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenJammin Posted September 25, 2009 Share #3 Posted September 25, 2009 Haven't seen a Barrett J auction in awhile, but they used to get pretty crazy.I'll go higher and say between $25k - $30K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel'n Man Posted September 25, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) David-I can do $15K standing on my head.........I have to agree with Ben on this one. Hell - I hope it goes for more. Our cars are worth more if we have taken care of them!! At a point all of us have to agree to STOP SELLING THESE CARS SO CHEAP AND GET THE MARKET UP!!$15K would be an embarassment to all of us that have spent any money at all, and if this car is rolling through Barrett-Jackson it would have to be in great shape - they do not show and sell 2nd rate cars very often that I have ever seen Edited September 25, 2009 by Travel'n Man EDIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260zCaliCar Posted September 25, 2009 Share #5 Posted September 25, 2009 I'm really bad, but I can't resist... After reading the other thread (and I guess being a bit of a participant) http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35981 I gotta wonder if the car being auctioned has been painted? :paranoid: My guess? $25,000 if original paint... $15,000 if new paint but original color... $10,000 if there has been a color change... and finally $1,250 if it's a new paint job with a color change, no documentation of the paint process, and a magnet won't stick to a door. ROFL (I'm assuming it's a matching numbers Z of course...) Like I said, just having fun at my own expense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriDawgn Posted September 25, 2009 Share #6 Posted September 25, 2009 I know theres a lot more to it but from what the pictures show it looks like a damn clean car. Heres the link to the car on the auction site:http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlinesubmission/lotdetails.aspx?ln=319&aid=303&pop=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pleiner87 Posted September 25, 2009 Share #7 Posted September 25, 2009 From what the ad shows its a one owner 73 240 with 71,000 miles with documentation. It does not say repaint but the orange looks too good to be all original... All in all a clean looking car with out any mods (does have 5-slot mags and ansa exaust). If this were a 69 or 70 I could see the bids counting up, but a 73... maybe in the mid 20,000??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted September 25, 2009 Share #8 Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) $25K to $30k for a 1973 with 71,000 miles? I doubt it, especially in this economy. I don't think Barrett Jackson is the right place to sell a Z or any other Japanese car yet. My guess is $12K to $15K tops. There was a 74 260Z with 19,000 miles that sold at a Mecum auction earlier this year for $15K, and then was auctioned by Mecum again a few months later and it was also bid up to $15K, but didn't meet the reserve http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35241. For reference, here is the information for the 1973 being auctioned in Oct, and for the last five Z's sold at Barret Jackson.http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlinesubmission/lotdetails.aspx?aid=303&ln=319&pop=0&it=1http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlinesubmission/lotdetails.aspx?aid=243&ln=906.1&pop=0&it=1http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlinesubmission/lotdetails.aspx?aid=221&ln=325&pop=0&it=1http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlinesubmission/lotdetails.aspx?aid=54&ln=309&pop=0&it=1http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlinesubmission/lotdetails.aspx?aid=51&ln=408&pop=0&it=1http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlinesubmission/lotdetails.aspx?aid=51&ln=617&pop=0&it=1-Mike Edited September 25, 2009 by Mike B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montezuma Posted September 25, 2009 Share #9 Posted September 25, 2009 I am using the crappy economy as one of my reasons for my $15K guess, plus the year of the car, plus the Mecum result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diseazd Posted September 25, 2009 Share #10 Posted September 25, 2009 Remember......At B/J the seller pays 10% as does the buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedyone_kenobi Posted September 25, 2009 Share #11 Posted September 25, 2009 its a clean Z, looks like the dealer added every possible extra. Still 73, with the flat top carbs, not sure. I think mid teens is pretty realistic. BJ is a very muscle car crowd. But I could be completely wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtmader Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share #12 Posted September 25, 2009 Personally I would need to see pictures of the engine bay. Maybe it's been converted to the round tops? Maybe there are some mod's under there....etc..... I am going to hazard a guess at $14,000. Where have I seen this car before? It looks VERY familar.
