Among the other pre-ZF models, ZCs have of late been outstripping ZDs, however that situation may not last and the ZD is still the version the market seems to want. $25-30,000 is being paid for ‘302’ V8 cars in average condition with 351-engined ZCs and ZDs around $20,000 dearer.

They can go even higher if ‘loaded’ from new with extras like power windows, wind-back sunroof, eight-track sound and air-conditioning. Scads of options weren’t available to 1960s buyers and realistic money for a ZA/ZB 500 with power steer, wind-them-yourself windows and no air-con today remains below $25,000. Six- cylinder Custom models can be worth $10,000 less than the V8.
