Z fan

The GM V8 on a Z have been done from day one,lots of info on transplant plus there are kits for engine/transmission/rear differential swap on shelves .

^^^ A modern engine transplant may or may not be a deterrent factor on value in an early Z , is a restomod clean early Z in the same league as a restomoded American Muscle Classic Car that at times commands more money than an original specimen . I ask.

These are the type of Z's with a GM LS1/LS2 I am making a reference === are they worth more or less in comparison to a stock early Z in similar condition.

^^^ So a well documented/sorted/professional transplanted work on an early Z , where does it seats on Z current values.

^^^ What about a real clean early Z, it has to have a solid foundation in order to do such modification ( engine,transmission, rear end, brake upgrade/suspension etc ) , not a rust bucket .

Like a TV episode , that is a GEM

I ask to the well verse Z aficionados , I lately have seen some real clean early Z's with late LS1/LS2 GM engine transplant and ask , does this increase or decrease the value on this Japanese classic car .

Thanks for the input, this Z is no longer on the radar, as mention above hunting for a done Z, the best tool is not to hurry.

^^^ He basically wants a done Z , he has the means to pay good money . Looks, performance and quality work a priority , he is open to some body mods but likes the stock look of the early Z. A clean cabin and A/C a critical factor.

@Carl Beck. Good to know that a well verse Z person does not insult a well done Vette powered Z. The Z is a canvas that has high gallery pieces and flea market finds.

Good observations made , interesting to know that this Z has been on both coasts Fla/Cal, please continue the opinions , they are making us to see a clear prospective , this forum is classy .

I have seen some really nice LS1 conversion, almost perfect executed work and wonder if that will be a minus factor on a clean early Z .

Will like to see the opinions from this forum for my step son , he is very interested on this Ebay listing > Datsun Z Series Z | eBay thanks in advance .

^^^^ UUPss typo horror << LOTS not lost >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You guys are true Z police, glad to be able to navigate this forum , lost of knowledge among well season Z owners.

Very artistic pictures, no shots of the under car critical sections or the interior. Good to see values on the rise.

Vintage race = vintage chicks , not at Summit Point WV, this was the May races main attraction

@ Genghis, if that price point is your budget for a DD car to enjoy in the sun get a used Miata , Z's to be use as DD duty will be well above that figure and I believe that the wise folks here will agree that the S30 is a nostalgic TOY .

@ Genghis . Honestly at that price point what kind of a semi/classic convertible conversion were you expecting . It is a TOY to play with. The seller did drop the asking price to 5,700.00 take the report as bargaining tool and see if you can get it for less , if this is what you want . IMO it is a conversation piece , a nice coffee and gas meet toy, if this Z were near me at that coin , it will be on my driveway.

^^^ I have been a lurker here before I actually made a membership in order to have access to the classified section , yes I see a few inflated egos here, there is an evident " in the clan group ".

Nice Z, looks solid , more info , pictures and details on how the wife got it .

At what coin

The red Z was a no sale, Ebay at times makes no sense , here a clean specimen and no takers. The Z market is a complete puzzle .

Here a BS replica, 2014 East Coast Spec510 meet at Summit Point WV

@ Hardway , if the re admission fee was 10 G's , you did extremely well , ENJOY THE RIDE
