Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Cracked headlight lens cover. Decent paint with a scuff on the right front fender and lots of scratches on the roof. Decent exterior plastic but a bit scratched and warped on the rear bumper. Good interior with very lightly worn upholstery and a fairly used dash. Grubby original engine bay. Tidy undercarriage. Far from perfect, but pretty good compared to most of the later, fatter Z-cars that you see out there.
Market commentary
The later Z-cars lost quite a bit of the spirit of the original 240, and the purists never took to them. They have a nostalgic appeal to people of a certain age but are like later 4-seat T-birds. Nostalgia hasn't translated to value and there's no sensible reason for the seller to have hung on to this car at a bid of $7,000.
