Moderators PB260Z Posted January 24, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 24, 2016 Interesting to re read this ad in light of recent prices. 14 Months ago asking $5,000. Today at that price would seem cheap, even for a bus with a sunroof gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today at that price would seem cheap, even for a bus with a sunroof Yes hindesite is an interesting catalyst, tried for years to warn the TOYMODS guys about the demise of TOYOTA and then tried with degree of success to pass n to enthusisasts the Powder blue 260Z2+2 from Sandhurst when the guy died, sold to WA $6500 traceable history back to the original ship it came off from japan. Then the gold one that I saw in Horsham for ten years it went to SA for $6500 sun roof or no sun roof whats the diff. The white fairllady Z stolen nd dumped in river and dragged back from Nth NSW end up being stripped by the skyline collector and crushed. All the good stuff I found in WV for past ten years has gone either crushed by SMorgens or sold. Now crushing is back on agenda as steel prices are up so current round of crushers in WVIC sees SImms metal b double heading back with 60 crushed cars per week. Guys need to get off keyboards and couches and get out to the old boys car club meets. if you see the car club around the garages all the good stuff is out bush in museums and private collections. We are here for the long run. My only ZED is the one ZEDMAN I got in 2002 14 years ago and just as good now as then Thjen was $2500 now??? dunno hm for 105000 KM 280ZX stored for 15 years? I am soon 70 YO so its last to go. Everyone knows the car who has beena round for the last decade,Unmolested and stored in good running order. They are keepers.. Only car left out of the WHITE FAILADY Z and the SILVER TURBO Z is ZEDMAN http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/2/4128/4121/22819560001_large.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
