Who has the rarest Zed?

:bash: they are NOT "Poo Brown " as you call it, it is called " Cocoa Bronze " :rolleyes2: :rolleyes2: :rolleyes2: redneck neanderthals i tell you.

 

Your vin will detail the month your Z was built and from there you need to do some math of how many Z32's were produced per month/per week/per day to find out a rough idea how many Z32's were produced before yours was.

 

ok cool thanks for the tip

 

Did this a few years ago, pretty sure mine was made 24th November 1989 - probably before lunch time. That's the birthday I'm sticking with anyway.

Id consider mine being a rare as in its a factory 1989 slicktop tt auto and is very clean for its age.

 

Wow, Luke, that is a clean zed! I am very jealous!

 

Plan to keep it that way.
brought it like that had it for 11months now

 

Not at all, that happened years ago.

For the record though, that was my other Z and it also spat the finger out :rolleyes2:

 

That's not rare, being an 89 there are thousands more exactly like it. Slicktop TT helps, but sorry to burst your bubble, it's a fairly run of the mill zed. Condition wise doesn't count in rarity. Sure it's more desirable, but that model isn't that hard to get.

 

At the end of the day very few Zeds can be considered rare as they were made in fairly decent numbers, a 2000 model I think fits that bill due to final model year & much lower numbers. In Australia you could probably argue a '98 & '99 do too.
Otherwise your talking mz30's or big name demo cars like yellowzeds pentroof purely for the 'history' factor. Or going stateside the sr-71's.

Condition in no way makes a zed rare, not yet anyway.

 

if you're a j-spec this might help?

My zed is only probably rare to me because when I went to try to import a zed I stubbornly said I only wanted a 2+2, TT, manual and the importer told me that I could only get something that was 1997 and only ~ 600 GCZ32's were manufactured in 1997.

Then I said I only wanted white or black and my chances were starting to look pretty bleak.. haha!

 

You were clear

 

All true but NOT what this thread is about really.

Stock is something to cherish in itself. nothing wrong with modding/improving, but also nothing wrong with wanting a version of a car that IS a classic, as if it just rolled off the factory floor, as the manufacture intended.

The older the Z32 gets, the more value there will be in a mint factory spec (even "restored" one). Just like the 240Z. Last "factory spec" one I saw for sale was going for around 24,000....POUNDS.
