Sirpent Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Good afternoon fellow Zedophiles. Yes I just got back with pictures of each car, stay tuned I will be posting in due course. There are 13 240/260's an 3 300xz'z in total 16 Z's. Cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirpent Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 OK, Well slight hicup, I left the camera cable for the camera I used at work, so pics wont be up till 8.00am tomorrow morning. What can I say about John the owner first, and this is with no disrespect at all, he does seem to be a collector of sorts, apart from the vast Z collection there is probably in excess of another 30 vehicles sitting on his prperty, however as I explained to him, the z's he has are almost all beyond the point of being considered restorable by the average enthusiest, what I mean by that is that a die hard enthusiest with a lot of cash would see many of these cars as long term, high cost cars to restore. What a Z is as the moment is still a sleeper in the collectables market place, just like an XB Ford Coupe was 10-15 years ago when you could buy one for $2,000.00, now one in neglected shape is worth $20,000.00, and I should know I was looking to buy one for 6 months and I have owned a XC Cobra so I know my coupes. The Z is just that which the Ford Coupe was back then, problem with these cars is that they are at a stage where another 12 months of weathering will see them unsalvageable. I will post a picture of each of the following cars tomorrow morning, and rate them between 1 - 6 1=Minimal Salvage Proposition - some parts no panels 2=Salvage value for some parts some panels 3=Salvage value Body less panels and parts 4=Restorable at a cost 5=Restorable depending on eagerness 6=Restorable proposition I know John will probably read this as he mentioned he has been on line, however I was honest about the cars when I looked at them to him and will be honest here in reporting back. Cheers John #1 RS30-015054 11/76 Silver 2 door 260Z original L26 motor #2 GSR-020407 2+2 Gold (No other details) #3 RS30-010014 12/75 Orange 2 door 260Z #4 GSR-006338 5/75 Blue 2+2 #5 HS30-10485 2/72 Red 2 door 240Z L28 motor #6 RS30-051160 7/75 Blue 2 door 260Z L28 motor #7 RS30-015148 4/77 Silver 2 door 260Z original L26 motor #8 HS30-01036 (Rolling Shell) 8/71 240Z 2 door #9 GSR30-011125 7/76 Blue 2+2 (No other details) #10 RS30-010280 7/76 Red (No other details) #11 RS30-010251 8/76 Blue 2 Door 260Z #12 RS30-???

I will be speaking to John again this evening as we are talking dollars for these cars, he will have a think about it and I will be counter discussing my opinion on their value, so please hold off until he has had a chance to think about them, I said we were a nice bunch on this forum so lets give the guy time to think without a 1000 calls.

MaygZ Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 For those that can't wait, there are some photos of #5 at http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,6019.15.html You might be able to see some of the others in a "where's wally' kind of way in some of the shots. Should this be moved into another Thread as it may well take over the e-bay thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris240 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 A story about a lovely chap who collected 13 zeds only to let them rust and fall away into disrepair... & with so many young wanna-be zedders who cant find zeds to restore, it all seems quite tragic. what an utter waste of a classic car.

NZeder Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 so many 260z 2 seater and one only 3 builds after mine - would be nice to have that in the garage next to mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeddophile Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Just for the random part of my brain thats always looking for something different, anything of interest in the 30 odd non-zed vehicles? Looking forwards to photos and condition reports on the zeds too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirpent Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Guys what can I say ? Nothing, I will let the pictures tell the story in the morning. Other vehicles there included from what I could see (X3) 300 ZX's (X1) V8 Soarer A couple of Peu-Goats (X1) Circa 1988 Dainler 6 cyl Sedan At least (X1) V12 Bimma, he mentioned another 3 series Bimms's A couple of recent 90's model Korean's Thinks I saw a 90's Range Rover But I was more concerned with the Zed's, Im sure you will spot some other vehicles in the background.

Sirpent Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 #12 RS30-??? Maroon, (Could not open bonnet) No pic as vehicle was inaccessable. On what I could see I would put it at a Rating 4 = Restorable at a cost. Vehicle #13 is Johns keeper and I didnt get any details on this vehicle as it is tarped over in his shed. This concludes the posting of info to this thread. Cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Just to clarify what is the next step with this. Are they all for sale? Does he have a price in mind? Whats is the best way to contact him? cheers Bruce (thanks John for your efforts!!!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirpent Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Bruce, As I mentioned in a previous post, he is thinking about prices and will get back to me, I will see what I can negotiate with him. So rather than 1000 ppl calling him, if you guys are OK with me conversing with him, I will report back what he is thinking etc as I have done so far. I spoke to him last night and asked me to give him a few days to think it over. Cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riceburner Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I have visited John to get parts a few years back, i had relatives in lancefield and ran into him on the main street. I talked to him recently about getting some doors.... He knows his stuff, He's a very easy going and good to deal with! Last time i saw the cars they all looked reasonable, any zed could be fixed with time, but some would require a LOT of time. 13 zeds I have zed envy!

Should this be moved into another Thread as it may well take over the e-bay thread? OZ001, Here are some more photos of the red 240Z (originally Lime Yellow). It is pretty ordinary. I was given estimates of $12-15K to get the body right!! Then there is interior and mechs. The red one is the best 240Z he has (the other, but I thought the pick of the bunch was a blue 260Z 2 seater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirpent Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 So, I presume you all found the info helpful? You ungrateful lot !.............. A "Thankyou John Mr Sirpent Sir" would have been nice............LMAO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
