reverendzed Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Well as many of you know I've been looking to jump back into a Zed for awhile, however my budget has been somewhat smaller these days. Well, today was my day! Just closed the deal on a 1970 240z (#287) , matching numbers with original books, 2 owner rust free Canberra car. Huge shout out to Chris240 for all of his effort in helping to secure this ride, not only did he check it over for me but went the extra mile and helped with transport and liaising on my behalf, you're a champ Chris. Not sure what the plans are yet, but being such an original matching numbers car it won't have flares! Stay tuned for build updates! Cheers, Rev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a great deal and an early girl also. Canberra rust free? I'm jelly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvemfast Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Congrats Dave Updates on build? I'm guessing finished by New Years, the way you work! Welcome home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris240 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Yep, I wanted to buy this, saw it within 10 mins of it being posted and being just up the road, i called the seller within 30 seconds had a long chat, then I tried to negoatiate and plead with my missus, but unfortunately I didnt succeed , nevertheless 2nd best option was to post the link up for the guys here.. Luckily Dave got in first and the buyer was excellent to deal with....he was mauled by offers from interstate and he showed me the gazillion silly text messages he received in 1/2 a day. The body on this thing is superb. The pics dont do it justice. Oh yeah , the centre console is mint ! Im uber jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reverendzed Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Thanks guys, I'm excited to actually get it down here to Melbourne!

reverendzed Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Got a quote today for $650 as a non runner from Canberra to Melbourne - This guy comes highly recommended so I'll keep everyone up to speed on how well this all happens. He specialises in classics and is fully insured. He beat the rest of the quotes by $300! - should be here in about a week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted December 31, 2014 Administrators Share Posted December 31, 2014 Exciting times ahead. Is this your first 240z rev? I think all the others were 260's weren't they? Price sounds reasonable for transport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reverendzed Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Yep! first 240Z into the stable! Just had a design session with my little bro and I think this one is going to have a real retro vibe! I'm starting to get excited, can't wait for it to get here!

reverendzed Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 It has arrived - and it is in unbelievable condition - couldn't be more pleased! 45 years old and the undercarriage looks like new! Chris240 - Thanks again and big shout out to Victa from https://www.facebook.com/UmbrellaTowing - kept his delivery promise and beat the opposition by over $300 - I would highly recommend his services.

oldmates260z Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I am sure I saw this guy towing a Rolls Royce when I pulled up at a Caltex Garage in Elanora (Gold Coast) only a week or two ago. Amazing if its the same guy The Zed looks to be in excellent condition, not too much resto required by the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
