I have read with interest the discussion om 240z/260z prices and feel I must comment. Sixteen years I purchased a 240z with very tired machanicals but good body and had it stripped etc repainted, motor reco'd., etc, etc.. came to about $5000 and with the purchase price of $2500 owed about $7500. Since then 90% of its use has been for driving pleasure only and the thing has given 16 yrs of totally trouble free use and enormous pleasure. I'm not sure what it's worth if a tyre kicker was to appraise it, all I can say it's not for sale and won't be.
