The sticker price was $4,300.00 and you could not get factory air conditioning...that was the only extra available....and it cost $499.00 extra......I got the air conditioning...a dealer add on But remember.......that was a lot more money then than $40,000.00 is now.
It was a great "Top End" car....but was so slow of the line and so cheap inside the cabin that my friends made fun of it. I had just sold a 1967 ( 427 4 Speed ) because I was going to graduate school, and most of my friends had GTOs and Vettes. While in graduate school in Atlanta, I was fortunate to find the BRE Racing Datsun dealership North of Atlanta and have them modify my car, they were just getting started on what turned out to be a very long and successful career in racing. Of course Nissan was then called "DATSUN" and no one had every seen a Z car before. I cut the "DATSUN" emblems in half..and mounted them backward.....making them read "SUNDAT" nobody knew what the hell a Z car was then anway ! lol Last edited by FERRARI; 10-17-2010 at 01:02 AM.

According to the same inflation calculator: "What cost $8500 in 1970 would cost $46443.30 in 2009."So Vettes, gas, and minimum wage are a worse deal today than in 1970. |

That's what I mean - it's a worse deal today (the ZR1 should cost $46K). Although the technology in the ZR1 (aluminum frame, racing engine technology) is much better today compared to the old days where they pretty much just stuffed more displacement under the hood (and yeah, I know they also sometimes put in aluminum heads too, but basically the diff between a "base" vette and the hotter models was a larger engine).

I just did a 4000 mile oil change and requested the Ester Oil. Price was about $120. Interestingly, the dealership at first tried to talk me out of the Ester because of the cost. I have been going to this NJ Dealership since 1998 and generally they are spot on. They suggested just using the Mobile 1 synthetic at about $90. So for small price difference I said…What the hell do the Ester. Motor does seem smoother.

![]() NOW....if they would only do the big block with all of the modern technology........sweet.......that would be what a lot of guys here are looking for.........but the L88 and L89 engines were something else.......!!! and with the stock side pipes and two dual feed Holley's like I had on my 67(stock) ....you would not believe how good it sounded......they came with stock cast iron headers........only problem ....every time I drove from Tennessee to Miami, I couldnt hear for two days....!! big problem when you are in training camp and can not hear the plays being called....lol BTW...the window of that 1967 427 with everything you could get on it was $6,900.00 you could not get Air Conditioning.....not offered because of overheating |
