Gosford Classic Car Museum

[EJ101]

has anyone been?

 

527 cars and 35 motorcycles on the inventory including a 73 240Z and a 76 260Z not sure if 2+2 or 2 seater.

The reason I say inventory is because you can go up to the owner and make an offer on any car.

Correct me if I'm talking crap, but my boss told me this and he's pretty switched on.

 

will go and see for myself when time permits

Yeah I've checked it out, its an awesome few hrs to spend checking out some cars. I did around 2-3 laps of the museum before heading back to Sydney.

 

The 260z is a 2+2.

 

I'm not 100% sure if he's willing to sell all of his cars, but there was a section of the museum with about 50 cars that he was looking to sell (typically cars that he already has 2+ of). No barriers around these cars so you can get right up and close to the cars.

ahh so the 240Z isn't for sale?

I went on the weekend and saw 1 Green 260z 2+2 and 2 x 240z  a 1971 model Orange car that was for sale a few years ago by Edward Lee  and a Silver 1973 that a member ( Matt Drago ) restored and had for sale on this site and carsales for 35K. I arranged an inspection of the 1971 Orange car today. The asking price is 55K. Same as the Silver 1973 55K.  All 527 cars and 35 motorbikes are for sale.

I spent almost 3 hours there on the weekend and it wasn't enough, i live locally and will be going back.

I owner is a bit of a colorful character. He used to sell 2nd hand cars in Europe & has had more than a few run-ins with organized crime syndicates (mafia) in the EU...

Spoiler Alert

 

If you haven't been there yet, then you might not want to look at these photos. I went on Sunday, weather was great and the place is huge. Definitely a few odd ball cars, I didn't take photos of everything. Mainly stuff that was interesting to me.

 

I would have liked to see more rare Japanese stuff like early rotary coupe's, they do have a Mazda Cosmo in there, I think it was the L10B (placard didn't state) so the less 'rare' version.

 

Photos were taken with my phone and the lighting varied which made some turn out dark.
