Those are serious prices and not early cars or even "Series 1" cars. I am a little surprised the LS car brought so much. In the past the strictly original has seemed to bring the premium.

I agree with you, Charles.  I was also surprised with the amount the Modified LS car brought. Over the last couple of years, 240Zs are finally getting some respect at B.J.

Yeah, that was interesting, but that car wasn't just another run of the mill LS engine swap, someone built that car as a custom, it looked well planned.  Nice to see that recognition.

I agree, it was well executed. Just a little surprising for a hybrid car

Well thought out and executed resto-mods are bringing big money, no matter the manufacturer, this year at Barret Jackson.

At $67,100 including the buyer commission, that is the highest amount that I have ever seen for a resto-mod 240Z. 

I should ship my ///MZ down there and put it up on the block, might end up with enough to build two  Zs

 

$67,100 USD = 1bazillion $CAD ?

Yes, a  Lot of Money!    The other 2 cars weren't chopped liver with the '71 240Z (with the incorrect Z wheel covers) going for $55,000.00 and the '73 240Z going for $40,700.00, both with the buyer commissions included. As Charles mentioned earlier, in the past, the more original 240Zs have sold for the higher prices, but the quality-built resto-mods seem to be the trend right now.

Restomods of all types are very popular with the Barrett Jackson crowd. I was there yesterday and could only find the white car. The others might have been moved offsite already but then again that place is huge so they could have been somewhere I missed.

That's great that you attended the auction, and good picture of the resto-mod 240Z! 

I watched quite a bit of the auction the last few days and you're right  - there was an unbelievable number of resto-mods of different makes and models that sold for high dollars.
