Market commentary
This is one of the more surprisingly low results from Vegas this year. It sold for $40,700 at Westworld 2018 but declined to $36,850 at Palm Beach in 2019. T 240Z - a founding father of Japanese performance cars - has only gotten more valuable since then while this one shows minimal use from the ensuing years. The new owner here paid 2016 money in the 2022 Z-car market, and that means a serious value even taking the many modifications (great for usability but detracting from originality) and today's influx of unmodified JDM cars into the U.S. market into account. This should be a rewarding weekend driver bought at a modest price.
