I know a guy that is selling a 1974 260 Z and he wants $1100.00 I am not clear if it is worth it or not. I know that the 260 are not the most desirable of the Z cars, but its cool! The thing starts right up, but I would have to replace the clutch right away! I am looking to turn this into a good looking Autocross car. Gutted out on the inside, roll cage, racing seats, and no interior. From what I can see the driverside rear quarter panel was reskined, but the rest of the body seems to be really straight! If you are willing to help and would like to see a pic let me know, I am looking for all the help I can get! :banghead:

yeah but you have to remember, cars depreciate over time but after you get to a certain point where the car becomes rare and more of a collectors item, the car starts to rise right back up in value. i say a 260Z in good condition and still running is well worth $1000. a 260Z isnt quite a 240Z but it is still a collectors item. and it will gradually start to raise in value as years go on. a good conditioned 240Z that still runs is gonna run you atleast a few grand and probably more. i have seen a fully restored 240Z sell for $18k to an obvious enthusiast. my :2cents:

jus talk him down and see where things go i bethell negotiate with you

He told me that he is tired of paying insurance on 4 cars, and that is why he is selling. His friend told me that his wife is sick of looking at it and that she is making him sell it. So I am going to offer him $500 and hope that he is willing to take no more then $750.

Good Luck!!!

Ok here is how it went... I called the guy on my my way home from work. I told him that I read all over the web, and from what I could see the 260Z would not likely become a classic car. I also reminded him that I would have to replace the clutch before I could do much more then put it into my garage! So he asked me what I was willing to pay for it, and I told him that I felt $700 was a fair price. He responded with...I am sorry I wasted your time! :nono: We said our goodbyes, and hung up! Just a little while later his wife called back, :2cents: and tells me that they really need the money and offers the car at $850. Well needless to say I will help them out and pay the $150 more then I want to! YEA I will now own the 2 cars I wanted in high school. :grinyes:
Thanks for the help!

Needless to say you'll help them out, yea right,thief. j/k
you did good, and it's great when you get something you wanted in high school.
It would be hard for me to do that. I haven't seen many covered wagons on eBay.

well that sounds good congrats on the buy

Albert they had schools back then?

Hodo, Back then life was simple and fun, except for the black man. Back then the black man was very special. He wasn't allowed in school. I hated that, cause I hated school. Had their own drinking fountian. I figured they weren't any better than me, so I'd drink out of there's. Got to set in the back of the bus. Now that really pissed me off, cause I liked to set there. Couldn't play baseball or basketball. That I liked, cause they were alot better than me.
But then the law changed. Now they have to go to school and suffer like the rest of us, and they aren't any better than me so they have to drink out of the same drinking fountian. As for taking away their reserved seats on the busses that was a good idea.
As for the sport thing, I love sports so I choose racing cause the blackman is almost as bad as the Mexicans when it comes to driving.
But the one thing that sticks out the most from the past, was they honored me by allowing me to be with them in combat in Korea and VietNam.
Did we have schools back then? You bet, and I learned I was just as good as the Blackman.

haha Albert, you should know that you Gringos cant drive either. You just have more money than us poor black folk thats why you get all the fast cars. :P

Thats BS bro.. One day you and I'll meet and I'll take you out to the hiway, and we'll see who can't drive.
And what's this poor black folk shit? Tell that to Eddie Murphy, Ray Charles, Suger Ray Lenoard or Elmer Fudd.

Elmer Fudd.

Elmer Fudd??? took the wrong pill while watching cartoons this morning or what??? :lol:

Here in San Antonio the entire city will for the most part shut down, due to the Battle of Flowers Parade/Fiesta. And although we shouldnt, the dealership I work at will close at 12:30. So that will be the very first time that I will get to work on my new little baby. (HaHa unless my wife wants me to do something else! Rest asured she will!) I will clean the interior out, and remove the front & rear bumpers. That way I can get a little more room in the garage!

lol ok lets have a test to seperate the boys from the men and see who can drive and who cant


hey we might get the fast cars but atleast u get all the cadillacs lol j/k

No...I was just checking to see if anyone was reading my posts. I was hoping Hodo would have came back and bitched me for my Elmer insert.
