mbmdcars Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Hi: I'm new to this Forum but have been a Z fan dating back to my very first car. It was a 280ZX in 1979. I am now looking to buy a 240Z (432). Yes, rare and expensive. I'm looking for the best example possible without needs. I want a genuine no-stories car. Not a clone or replica. I am in Houston, Texas, USA. Can anyone help? Thanks Mark mark@mbrinker.com Quote
benny Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 You wont really find anything here.... best option is to get in touch with someone in Japan to find one for you. Quote
dat2kman Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 And what is your budget, give or take $10,000 or so? Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted September 4, 2013 Moderators Posted September 4, 2013 That'll be a great deposit, with the remaining $140,000 payable by when? Quote
HS30-H Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 I am now looking to buy a 240Z (432). Yes, rare and expensive. Are you a car dealer? Here are some tips for you: *A car can be a '240Z' ( HS30 or HLS30 ) or a '432' ( PS30 or PS30-SB ), but it can't be both. If you're looking for a '432' then you're looking for a '432'... *If you're looking for Penguins and somebody tells you to look in the Arctic, don't trust them. Quote
JDSM Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Ouch, sizzle. I'm not even sure if there are any owners in Aus that broadcast Z 432 ownership, let alone want to sell... does anyone even know of any? As other have suggested, I'd look in the only market where they were actually sold, good luck with that. With that said, NO I can't help Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted September 4, 2013 Administrators Posted September 4, 2013 As far as I'm aware there are 0 432 Z's in Australia. I don't believe there are even any S20 powered cars running around here yet! If someone were truly interested in such a vehicle I would start my search on Yahoo! auctions but don't hold your breathe as finding a genuine car like this would really involve dealing with a reputable company in Japan to help you locate 1.

dat2kman Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 I'd still like to know, what is the OPer's budget? What price for one, if one was able to be accquired? I have to say, i would not desire a 432, a Lamborghini Muira SV is what i am interested in. My budget? $500 to $800 k. I have a space in a shed waiting. And no, not the fake one built on a Pontiac Fiero floorpan ( it does have a proper Muira windscreen, cost him some $8000) Quote

dat2kman Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 I call bullshiver! ... There is no room in your shed. Rubbish! For a Muira SV, i WIL make room! Just whack in another houst, problem solved!!! Bwaahahahaaaa! Quote
Triptych Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 If you were serious and money wasn't an object I'm pretty sure you could get somebody in Japan to deal with the Z restorer (not rocky auto the other guy) as I am pretty sure there was a 432 sitting in his yard when I watched "retro car kings".

HS30-H Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 I have to say, i would not desire a 432, a Lamborghini Muira SV is what i am interested in. You won't be allowed to buy a Miura if you can't spell Miura.... Quote

Rocky auto do stock genuine 432s and KPGC-10s though. Quote
