As I've been saying over and over again; the upper middle class collector car market collapsed about 18 months ago. I promise - this will be my LAST reference.

Chris, I'm sorry your 240 fell victim to this situation.

PS The spare tire cover triangles DID NOT appear on every 240. If you ever want to get every small detail just so give me a ring or drop me a line.

Thanks Mike, yes that is all in the game. I will sent you an email. About the stickers we found them #10862 and we have before pictures of our BAT #11699 not having them..........

Chris, thank you for listing on BAT with such incredible detailed pictures. These should be a must for most all restorers to reference in the future. It is incredibly bad luck to have a war break out during listing with the associated doubt in all our minds during this period.

Zspert said above lower values with the lack of “free” money floating around for last 2 years.

The passion exhibited by your company is contagious and will be rewarded with the satisfaction of accomplishment and respect we all for your endeavors of restoring our great z!!!

David, Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appriciate them.

Nice looking 260Z auction ending today. Small bumper version. Edit - sold for $9,300.

1978 "Black Pearl" 280Z. One of the commenters says it sold for $90,000 at Mecum before. Don't know how to verify that. Maybe requires joining.

Edit - found it on the Hagerty web site. Weird that they disclose but Mecum doesn't. Pretty big number for a 280Z.

Wow, still has the OK decal

Just realized that's a Dennis Collins car. The guy that showed up on Fast n' Loud occasionally with lots of money. Has a Youtube channel now, like everybody. He seems to know his values. He got it in trade for a Shelby Mustang apparently. Described in the BaT video. Looks like he's expecting over $143,000 if you read between the lines of his presentation.

He's done a Z before but it was missed. Funny though, I referenced it later for another reason.
