Who has sold a 2+2 recently?

[sexual_sushi]

Hi all, just wondering what 2+2's are going for these days in failry good condition. If you have sold one in the last year or so could you post how much for and maybe a picture if you have it? From what I can gather here's what I have:

 

needs restoration $500-2000

driveable but needs work $2000-4000

daily driver condition $4000-7000

good condition $7000-12000

show condition $12000+

 

more interested in the good condition side of things, I have seen them for sale for around 10 and a few for 12 but I was just wondering if they have actually sold at this price?

 

thanks in advance

Your stats look about right from a sellers listing but I couldn't tell you if this is true for actual sales.

 

When I get to the stage of registering my 2 seater I will look at selling my 2+2. I will probably change a dented panel/respray it and move her on. For that I would probably be asking $6500, but would probably be willing to negotiate.

I also reckon your list of prices is pretty close to the mark. Personally I always reckon you are better of paying a bit more for a straight body with hardly any rust for a good starting point. I think a lot of people buy them cheap with more rust than they initially thought and spend 6-7K fixing the body which really puts them way behind on the restoration stakes. Better off using that good money on other things if your body is good from the start.

I got my 2+2 about a month ago for a little under $4000.00 Mechanically perfect i reckon with a reco motor less than 2years ago new paint 3 yrs ago neat interior and nearly $10,000 of receipts in the past 8yrs. The down side is the guy who painted it didnt fix the rust properly so its coming back in a few spots and will probably need a full paint job again in the next couple of years but atleast i can really enjoy it now when ive just got it and love driving it. Not like some of the unfinished projects around for $2000 or $3000. I reckon i paid the right price for it all considered and reckon between $6000 to $8000 it what you should pay for a good 2+2 that needs nothing spent on it and has no signs of rust. Shannons auctioned a 2+2 a couple of weeks back and it sold for around $6500.

Heres the description that went with it:

 

Brief History

This vehicle was one of the last 260Z's delivered in Perth in August 1978 just prior to the release of the 280ZX.

 

It has been garaged all its life, and for many years was the owner's regular everyday transport, proving to be a most enjoyable classic sports vehicle to drive as well as easy to maintain.

 

At approximately 215,000kms, a new engine was fitted. The original 2.6L block was replaced with the larger capacity (but identical) Nissan 2.8L short block, providing a useful increase in torque and performance. The car has traveled a little over 30,000kms on the new engine, and is running superbly. The vehicle was originally delivered with a vinyl roof. This was removed when the car was repainted approximately 12 years ago.

 

The vehicle has just gone through a full body repaint during which minor rust around the sill area was thoroughly removed. The car has never sustained any accident damage.

 

Servicing has been meticulously performed every 5000kms. Overall, the vehicle has been maintained in excellent road-going condition. The interior is original, and overall appearance is stunning.

 

Engine

The Nissan 6 cylinder L series engine originally fitted was the 2.6L twin carburettor version. The basic configuration is a cast iron block and alloy head, with a single overhead camshaft.

 

The new 2.8lL engine fitted approximately 30,000 kms ago had the one Nissan weakness corrected when it was built. The pistons were machined to take a larger and stronger oil scraper ring, usually the first component of these otherwise extremely robust engines to show signs of deterioration. All components subject to wear were replaced when the engine was built, and the cylinder head was fully reconditioned. All ancillary items (radiator, starter motor, alternator, air conditioning compressor etc) were fully serviced. The engine holds excellent oil pressure.

 

The engine is stock apart from the piston machining mentioned above. The cylinder head was planed when reconditioned, providing a useful modest increase in compression. This vehicle was fitted with twin SU side-draught carburetors. Exhaust extractors are fitted, feeding into an aluminized exhaust system with twin flow through mufflers.

 

The original coil and points Ignition system were replaced with the Nissan electronic ignition system. The tachometer was fitted with an appropriate circuit board to take the signal from the new ignition system, which supplies a strong and constant spark.

 

The appearance and configuration of the engine bay remains as per the original vehicle. Useful increases in engine performance and longevity have been achieved without departing from the original vehicle appearance.

Instrumentation & interior

The driver is well catered for with instruments housed in individual binnacles in the dashboard. Instruments include tachometer, speedometer, oil pressure, water temperature and voltmeter gages, and various warning lights. The interior is original

 

Transmission

The gearbox is a 5 speed manual with synchro on all forward gears

 

Differential & brakes

The standard rear differential is fitted. Brakes are steel disks at the front and large finned alloy drums fitted to the rear hubs.

 

Suspension

Suspension is original. A camber adjustment kit was fitted to the front early in the vehicle's life. This made the front wheel geometry adjustable for castor, camber and toe-in/out, providing an improvement in handling and eliminating tyre wear on the outside of the front tyres

 

Wheels & tyres

Wheels are the polished factory mag wheels delivered on the later model 260Z's. The spare wheel matches the wheels fitted. Tyres are 225/65/R14's.

The following extras are fitted to the vehicle.

Front chrome nudge bar

Valuation

The vehicle has recently been independently valued by Shannons with whom it is insured. Their valuation is $15,000.
