It may not be numbers-matching (Nissan made no effort to pair original engines with original chassis during the Vintage Z program) and in particular this comment.. On paper, it was a brilliant plan, but in application it was hurt by several factors. Initially, the quality of the restoration was not up to customer expectations, particularly in light of the Vintage Z’s $24,950 asking price. This was addressed quickly enough, but the cost of refurbishing the cars turned out to be higher than anyone had anticipated, and even with a price increase to $27,500 the venture proved unprofitable for Nissan. If the people running it couldn't anticipate restoration costs properly, what chance do we humble enthusiasts have? Quote
