To those of us who love cars with a passion, nothing in life can compare to getting behind the wheel of a car we owned years ago. It is a time travel experience indeed. My first car was a 1977 280Z in white with tan interior, louvered read window, 4 speed. To this day just looking at pictures of the car makes me happy. How amazing it would be to own one again.

Having owned a 240Z for best part of 20 years, i can say this would be one of the most desirable 240Zs on the planet. You can't even restore an interior to look that good!! The Butterscotch (Tan) colour is highly desirable, as are all the other non black colours.

So this is one of those oddball Z cars. When I first saw this was a 71 I didnt think much of it as long as it was early enough to be a series 1. Then I went to your website and noticed something very interesting. This is number 4684 and built in May/70. I own 4805 built in May 70. BUT mine is a 1970. My car was built "after" this one but is one manufacturer year older. This is actually not uncommon and many people have noted this before. I would strongly market this information as you sell it. The 70 cars are more valuable than the 71s but you have to accept that this should be a 1970. It makes for an argument that it is worth more just because this "error" for lack of better words. I think it can go for more than the $124,240 "franklin mint" 1970 that sold on BaT last June because its a perfect survivor. Good luck!
@PotatosPotatoes5 жыл бұрын
My 240Z is a 4/70 and for some reason was always registered as a 71. I would attempt to change the registration and title, but it's just not worth it. I call it a 1970 because it is.

Bought one brand new 1971. ($2700.00) Had to wait seven months for delivery. It was the first one in the area. There was a new car show in St. Louis and low and behold there it was up on a turn table. I stepped over the ropes, when the attendant said I couldn't go up to it. I told him who I was and asked for the keys. I opened it all up and checked it out. The attendant says we'll have it all ready for you first thing Monday morning. Took deliver, drove it out of the garage and it immediately dropped a valve down in the cylinder. The owner was called and he said to call later in the day to find out the details. I said, "Right, I'll have my lawyer call". OH!, MR. ____________ wait, here take my car. A 1971 Fiat 124 2&2 Sport. When I did get the car back some six months later I was sorely disappointed, poor pick-up and a clunky transmission. The next year model was seven hundred dollars more. They gave me full price for it. Drove it for a year for free. I switched back to the Fiat.

Z-cars were attainable when new, uncommonly reliable for sports cars, and meant to be driven daily. I drove a similar 1974 260z all over the US, Canada, even to Alaska and back! Dramatically improved it with Weber carbs, Pacesetter header, 5 speed, KYB gas struts. Mine took me on countless adventures as the 3rd owner over 7 years. Pity this car's original owner: he/she never got to drive the wheels off of it. Also astounding is that these were just a little bit more money than a Mustang or Capri... guessing this car auctioned for 6 figures
