Classic/Antique Car Repair: 1982 Datsun 280ZX


Question
I am looking to sell and old car and not sure where to go to list it or what it is worth.  I am not sure if it is a collectable or not or just a piece of scrap iron.  The car is a 1982 Datsun 280ZX it is not in the best condition, but did run well when it was parked.  It has been parked for quite a few years.  It has 152,000 miles.  Could you give me any ideas of either a value or where to look to find a way to sell it.

Answer
The Datsun/Nissan "Z" cars are starting to come up in value, finally. The average value for one in good running condition and decent body and interior would be $5200 for one with out turbo charging and $7500 for a turbo model. Now this is average and will depend on actual condition. Rust was a bif concern on those cars and any rust will drasticly reduce the value. I found several recent sales of cars with restoration such as new paint, new interior rtc selling in the $10 to 14K range. Again it is condition. The two ost common selling tools are Craigs List and Hemings Motor News, www.hemmings.com.
