Administrators gav240z Posted February 5, 2014 Author Administrators Posted February 5, 2014 Bit of a shame hey Scoot, that it rotted away like that. Notice the amp gauge? Only early 260z's had that before switching to the volt meter. Looks like it has the original head unit also . Quote

Owner is a friend of mine and I can confirm that this car is in excellent condition and very well looked after by a fastidious collector.

Not sure when exactly the resto was. He only states 'a few years ago'. All the photos look old. Has anybody seen this? Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted February 6, 2014 Author Administrators Posted February 6, 2014 Since when does a nut and bolt restoration involves rattle canning the entire gearbox and drive line black LOL, it looks like a nice car, but for the asking price (top dollar really) there is a few things I'd want tidied up that's for sure. No badges irks me, car looks naked without them. Also the mirrors, why oh why? My previous owner put those god awful 200B mirrors on my Z. I can't wait to discard them. I would burn them if I thought they would catch fire, sadly I don't think they would burn well. I loathe them almost as much as i hate sunroof's in Z's. . Then the SU's are not correct, looking at the interior it's missing the diamond vinyl and the center console looks a little shabby, also the horn button is well dodgy. All these little things wouldn't be hard to make right and would certainly make the car worth the asking price. Quote

Bidding has been aggressive early on, already at $4k + It's in my area, so if someone needs it inspected I may be able to drop by before auction end. Anyone know if this is a factory colour for the GRS30 coupe's? I feel like it is, but my knowledge of later 260z options is a bit weak compared with early 240z's etc... Quote

Note: Datsun badge on lower front guards is not correct for a 260z, but I understand wanting to imitate a 240z lol. 240K steering wheel (not my thing) and racing pedals > but these are minor details. Rest of the car looks relatively honest. If it's as good as the photos depict well worth it. Quote

Certainly looks tidy, with a just few little things to do Does anyone know this car ? Quote
DanSA Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Damn, wish i had the funds, looks tidy.. Quote
reverendzed Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 The guy selling the car in SA has a problem with truth! When asked if he had a buy it now or a private sale option he said and I quote 'the auction is no reserve and will sell via Ebay' He obviously thought that money was more important than integrity and ended the auction early! Obviously someone came up with enough cash to bend his arm - good luck to whoever bought it, it looked like a nice Zed. Quote

Obviously someone came up with enough cash to bend his arm - good luck to whoever bought it, it looked like a nice Zed. I got lucky with car #150 - the seller had people offering him more money for the car but he said it will sell for what it sells on eBay and let the auction run it's course. After it was finished a couple of people called him to see if they could offer more or check it was actually sold. He could of sold it for more, but he did the right thing and sold it for it's auction price. It does kinda suck that he said he would run the auction and didn't. Although as a seller if someone rolled up with cash in hand and said I'll offer you this much and it's sold then and there I'd be tempted also. Quote

Retro Z Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Those first 2 will not last long! thats some good buying there..i think i will become single if i buy them though Had a relative look at those two for me about 2 years ago. Apparently full of bog and chicken wire with a spray job hiding some horrors underneath. Apparently the guy had about a dozen s30's all sitting outside in the weather rotting away. Could explain why they haven't sold yet after all this time. Quote
JDSM Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 If those two cars are the ones I am thinking of from Unique Cars, then I'm pretty sure they are sold, but the seller has other Zs for sale, but just doesn't want to pay to re-list them. Could be wrong, but I remember reading a thread about them previously. They have been advertised in the magazine since I started reading it about 4 years ago. I stopped buying it a few months back, so I couldn't tell you if they are the same. Quote
Retro Z Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Yeah those are the ones. Still in the current issue of unique cars. Occasionally pops up on gumtree aswell. Quote
dat240z Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 That yellow 260z's been for sale for almost half a decade!!!! Quote
