handsandwhich Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 It's just the vibe of the thing that is stopping him. Quote
Ledge Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I will have a rust free running 240z for 10g to thanks Quote
chartoo Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Z stuff is really short on the ground here in perth so 10 doesnt buy much. Running with no rust might get you a 2+2 Try gumtree or martin f Quote
Riceburner Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I have some jousting sticks, I recall something vague about mabo Whittie has just done rust free shell, not a cheap expense, then theres all the running gear too. Maybe a more specific request? RB30X has a straight and very powerful example for sale ATM. Quote
Whittie Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Unfortunately, rust free in cars this old means that someone has cut it out. To then have it back together and running, you're looking at significantly more than 10 just for the work. 10k will buy you a 240, but it'll be a long way from pretty. 25 will probably get you a running, good nic (not much rust) 240, but even then it won't be rust free. Could get a nice project 2+2 for 10 Quote
chris240 Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I'd like to post a quote from the movie "The Castle".. Haha Tell him he's dreaming..... Either that, or move the torana to get to the camira to get the car out. Good luck with the search, something may turn up. Quote
Grandad Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 I think the guys are being a bit harsh on you, because you will get at least one of your three wishes possibly two but definitely not all three. This 240 appears to be going and you may get it for $10k http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/datsun-240z-1973-12806418?base=1216&vertical=Car&cr=4&eapi=2&__N=1246%201247%201252%201282%204294966615%204294966408%201216&silo=Stock&Range=Price:Min,Max~1&sort=default This 260 also appears to be going and you will get it within budget http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/datsun-260z-1976-12872709?base=1216&vertical=Car&cr=0&eapi=2&__N=1246%201247%201252%201282%204294966615%204294966410%201216&silo=Stock&Range=Price:Min,Max~1&sort=default And 2+2s are relatively easy to find at your price http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/datsun-260z-1976-12548660?base=1216&vertical=Car&cr=1&eapi=2&__N=1246%201247%201252%201282%204294966615%204294966410%201216&silo=Stock&Range=Price:Min,Max~1&sort=default Quote
RB26DETT Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 The yellow 240z is far from being rust free, also add another $1000 to transport it back to Perth and hope there isn't any issues that need rectifying to get it relicenced here in WA. Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted July 1, 2012 Moderators Posted July 1, 2012 Not trying to be harsh but realistic; any "rust free" zed will either be on a rotiserrie being built, fully restored and IF for sale, would be at the very least $25K+. The other rusty "rust free" zeds will be around the $10K mark. Rusty zeds without any rust visible are usually said to be rust free. Rust rust rust rust (if you were to bother counting the amount of times I typed rust) Quote
