Lot 171804: 1973 Datsun 240Z 5-Speed

Based on my analysis of recent Datsun 240Z sales data:

This specific car sold for: $18,000

Market Context:

• Overall 240Z market average: $35,170
• Recent modified 240Z comparables: $43,875 average
• This car sold for about 51% of the overall market average

Comparable Sales:

• 1972 Modified Gray: $36,000 (Nov 2025)
• 1973 Modified Blue: $20,000 (Oct 2024)
• 1973 Custom Purple: $16,000 (Nov 2025, NOT_SOLD)
• 1972 Modified Yellow: $25,500 (Apr 2025)

Key Factors Affecting Value:

1. Salvage title typically reduces value 30-70% vs clean title
2. Extensive modifications (both positive and negative impact)
3. Recent refurbishment with performance upgrades
4. 52k miles shown (though total mileage unknown)

Bottom Line: At $18k, this car sold in the lower-middle of the modified 240Z range, which seems appropriate given the salvage title offsetting the extensive modifications. It’s a fair deal for a modified example with documented work.
