There was a genuine ZZ/R for sale on trademe not that long ago and it didn't sell. Can't remember the asking price but it was worth more than any of us dreamers could scrape together.
As far as I know the ZZ/Z is the aussie version and isn't twincam, but I could be mistaken.
And the value would be in what ever parts you can salvage from it because I can't see that thing coming back to life unfortunately. If the engines good I would say $800-1000 with the gearbox on it and then there would be something similar for the diff, purely because it is a ZZ/R item, I'm sure people would pay abit extra for stuff to be from a Gem rather than a Piazza + the fact that it all bolts in. Interior is probably fu*ked and so are all the panels so not sure what else has any value?

I think some of the zz/z's are twincam, but some aren't? maybe an option from the factory? dumb aussies would be cool to salvage any bits and import front kit etc from aussie to make a replica I can't believe it sat in a wreckers and never had anything taken from it!?

Interior apart from the dashboard itself is in surprisingly good nick, as mentioned he has had the engine running!
And yea , all zz/z I have found thus far are single cam...

haha what an awesome story. you must have better wreckers down there. a gemini here would have already been stripped and crushed within months of getting to the wreckers
one of them crushed two complete piazzas with twincam engines that I was looking at, fu*ken idiots, I wanted a diff, engine and brake setup so they could have made hundreds of dollars from them
