Alfadog Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Hi all Well it's been 10 years since I sold my 240Z. Owned a few cars since then but none have had such charm as the original Z. I'm ready to get back into one. Have been looking at the market for a few months patiently but nothing fits the bill just yet. I have budget for the right car - thought I may as well post a wanted ad in case anyone here is feeling silly enough to consider selling theirs PM me! Thanks Quote
NZeder Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 How is it all going these days? Have you still got the c110? What abour the MX5? Good to see you are back...zed are like "Hotel California" 'you can checkout anytime, but you can never leave' Cheers Mike for over the ditch. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted January 2, 2014 Administrators Posted January 2, 2014 Just the other day I found some photos we took of your C110 when I was on the Gold Coast. Who are these 2 fellas? I'm sure we took better photos but I haven't found them yet. Quote
kobes Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 thinks i just found my favourite car after a 260z.. but boy these cars seem hard to find Quote
Alfadog Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 Thanks guys Gav, man I miss that car, it was mint, and I never really got to enjoy it. Certainly should have kept it. What was I thinking? Incidentally... I went and looked at this beasty today - fresh import. Pretty neat car. Anyway, back to the Z. Anyone got one, shoot me a PM =] Quote
d3c0y Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 That's funny as soon as I saw your name i was going to ask about the 240k too, that thing was mint. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted January 8, 2014 Administrators Posted January 8, 2014 Thanks guys Gav, man I miss that car, it was mint, and I never really got to enjoy it. Certainly should have kept it. What was I thinking? I remember when you were selling it and I was thinking man, it's such a nice car he should keep it. But I guess you had other plans, I still regret selling my first Z, but looking back at my circumstances at the time it made sense I guess. Anyway I also found this old video I think you sent me at the time? You really have to see these cars in person all dressed up in GTR spec to fully appreciate their shape and style. Quote
NZeder Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 What about Alan's nice 260z 2 seater in the for sale section? Nothing to do on that car but just enjoy it and keep it to the same level that Alan has all these years Quote
260Coupe Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Why look for rusty 240 when you could get into this http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,13897.0.html Quote
acf321 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 ditto... Buy a GOOD ONE to start ... buying a bad one will change your life!!! A good one is a serious bit of kit .. Alan's one is the way to go. Adam Quote
Alfadog Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 Alan's 260 sure does look amazing! A really great job you've done mate. However, I am really after a 240 and willing to spend between 15-25k depending on condition. Quote
dat240z Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Why look for rusty 240 when you could get into this http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,13897.0.html Because he wants "the original and the best", not the uglier sister That C110 is top shelf Quote
DreamZproject Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 EHRMAHGAWD! Put some make up on her and they look like twins! Quote
260Coupe Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Because he wants "the original and the best", not the uglier sister Pffttt...........the so called "ugly sister" sold within days of posting for the asking price (obviously $35k was too cheap ).........and given that the 2 seater is virtually identical in body shape to a 240..........how is it "ugly" ................what a twat Quote
Lynton Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Hey Al I don't think you sold to cheaply ...you met the market, most people don't, they start to high only to discount to make the eventual sale and wonder why it took so long to sell, there was also a red Datsun 1600 sports that was on the market about the same time as your car he also met the market and car sold within the week, it is like going to an auction establish the worth and look to buy if it goes beyond the business decision walk away continue to analyse your market in reality not what you dream + or - Lynton Quote
jamo240 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Here's one that's coming up in Sydney on Monday March 17, 2014 via the Pickles prestige auction.. http://www.pickles.com.au/cars/item/-/details/CP-09-73--Datsun--240Z--Coupe--2-Seats--2-Doors/1103121173 Cheers Jamo Quote
Cozza Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Hey Alfadog, just wondering how much for that Hakosuka you looked at? BTW sweet C110. Mick Quote
zedevan Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I went past your mx5 a few times where you must have been living in Mitcham, it looked nearly as nice as the c110. Have you got any pics of your old 240z or was it before you started building really clean white cars? Quote
