Might sell the zed

[DaveDimo]

Guys thinking of selling the zed just don't know what the old girl is worth.

 

It's a 1974 260 2+2

Auto

156 000kms on it with original books and service history

Drives very good

 

Paint is shot and interior has seen better days so in my opinion the car is a great candidate for a rebuild.

 

I was driving it as my daily for ages and it never missed a beat.

Obviously no rego now

not too bad on the rust part. Usual areas but nothing major.

 

Bought it off an old lady and she had it from brand new

 

Just some thoughts or idea of what it would fetch on the market. It's a really good car with a good history behind it.

 

Dave... I'll post some pictures if it helps

Probably around 4k.

[DaveDimo]

Yeah fair enough I was thinking a little higher then that but it's a good start I guess. I'll post some pictures when I head over to my grand mothers where it is in storage.

 

Maybe get a better idea

 

And where do you all recommend selling the car is eBay a good idea or paper or unique cars magazine or the forums?

Hi Dave, sadly the market has fallen for toys, and cars are not fetching good money anymore, Without seeing pictures and going by your description,saxon's quote of 4k is probably a little on the high side, to get that it would need to have very little rust and be a driving car. 2+2 do not fetch the same sought of money as the 2 seater.

A lot depends on how quick you want to sell it, and if it drives and rust. I would suggest e-bay with a low starting price and set a reserve to give you an idea of interest.

I have seen good cars on ebay that are project cars, pulled apart, and they take 3-4 times on e-bay to fetch $800-$1500.

A top of the range 2+2 that may have had 20k spent on it will take a while to get 10k or over for it.

So if you are expecting over 4k ,in that condition you will need a very keen buyer, and be prepared to sit on it for awhile for him to come.

I have a 74 2+2 sitting in my shed, that was my daily driver, and it would be worth about $200.00 for scrap metal. Only reason I am keeping it,is spares and it has my 240 motor in it.

Good luck.

Hey dave interested in the car any chance you could put some pictures up so I can get a better idea of the body and interior condition.
