What should I pay for a salvage Datsun 280ZX?

Work from the median final bid on this page, then adjust for the repair in front of you. A Datsun 280ZX with light front-end damage and keys sits near the top of the sold-price range; a water loss without keys sits at the bottom.

Does the model year change what a Datsun 280ZX sells for at auction?

Are these final bids what a repaired Datsun 280ZX would sell for?

No. These are auction results for damaged or salvage Datsun 280ZX vehicles — the price at the close of the sale, before transport, fees and repair. Retail value sits well above them.
