It depends on what you mean by fully restored. Almost perfect examples go for just over 10 G's, perfect original condition/low mileage (no need to restore) for up to 20 G's. Unless you have it done professionally, probably lucky to get over five grand.
Like N0NB said...Probably not as much as you put into restoring it
But, the value will only go UP!!!

As has been mentioned by others, you won't get rich by restoring Z1's...just the opposite, in fact Z1's in excellent condition might be worth a fair amount, but it costs a fair amount to get them in that condition. For example, I have a low mileage barn-find 1975 Z2A...I bought it for perhaps more than I should have, but it'll cost an additional US$7000 in parts to restore it...I do all the labor. At that point, I won't be able to recoup my investment if I sold it in North America (not the case if I sell in Japan)
