[Roadsters] 1972 Datsun 240Z Sells at Auction for $110, 240 as BaT Sells to Hearst Autos

[Pete Peters]

A Google search says your numbers are good. The 1996 sales price for the restored/rebuilt cars was $25k-$27.5k, which was still too high for most, thus Nissan killed the program in 1997 after only 40 cars were built.

I remember $25K being talked about, but if that was the price I suspect Nissan lost money on then even in the '90s when they did this. I suspect that was the reason the program was shut down long before they built the 100 I believe were originally planned for.

 

I could very well be off on both numbers.

What did Nissan sell these for. Also I would think you could do a frame off for under $80,000, So this seems steep
