AussieZed Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Hi all, Due to a bunch of 'bad stuff' this year I am having to give up on my idea of spending time finishing my 260z project. However I am in the fortunate position of being able to shop for a 'completed' car which I can tinker with. I have been looking at a few cars, but thought I would try a general call out... Necessities: - 260z 2+2 - running and roadworthy (or VERY close to it) - must have panel and paint work already done - reasonable interior Ideally: - matching numbers engine - south eastern Australia (I am in Canberra) I am shopping in the $10K to $18K range - yes I know that is broad but I am open to a wide range of vehicles, from the 'mostly sorted' to 'completely sorted'. Appreciate any information by PM. Cheers, Ross Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted May 4, 2015 Moderators Posted May 4, 2015 Hi Ross Woth a sensible budget like that you will do well. There have been a couple of very nice 2+2's on carsales recently. Good luck with the search Cheers PB Quote
AussieZed Posted May 5, 2015 Author Posted May 5, 2015 Not one response remarkably... it really does say how rare these cars are becoming. Not a single 260z on eBay at the moment either.... amazing really. Quote

Have you looked or considered any of these ? http://www.carsales.com.au/cars/results?area=Stock&vertical=car&sortBy=TopDeal&q=(((Make%3D%5BDatsun%5D)%26(Model%3D%5B260Z%5D))%26(Service%3D%5BCarsales%5D))&WT.z_srchsrcx=makemodel Quote
AussieZed Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 Thanks mate... yes I have. In particular chasing the blue 2+2 up in NSW but can't get in touch with the buyer. Still trying... Ross Quote
oldmates260z Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Isn't this one perfect? http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Datsun-260Z-1975/SSE-AD-3269743/?Cr=3 At $18K you could tempt me to sell my 2+2 Quote
AussieZed Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 Yes that's the one. Be nice if people who advertised answered their phone or returned their messages huh?? I am assuming it is sold... Quote
peter t Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Are you offering to sell Peter?? Yours is even the colour I want.... Sorry mate I would need a lot more to sell mine even though its a 2+2. The wife has all the receipts and keeps adding them up. My mistake when I asked her to keep a file on expenses for the Z. She even adds on the petrol. LOL. Quote
oldmates260z Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Other than the nose it looks on the money http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Datsun-260Z-1977/SSE-AD-3399384/?Cr=1 Quote
