Moderators PB260Z Posted August 25, 2015 Moderators Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Now that we are on the new software I'm going to work on creating a database / registry for S30z's. Great news, will it include photos ? Edited August 25, 2015 by PB260Z Quote
GongZ Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 http://classicthrottleshop.com.au/classics.htm The green car looks very familiar!! This car is now for sale for the third time in 2 months! First time - advertised for $30,000 (Lithgow NSW) Second time - advertised for $38,000 - price on ad changed to $45,000 after sale completed (Victoria) This (third) time - Price On Application (North Sydney) - I wonder what it will sell for this time.

George Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Call them up and find out Ian. I'm sure everyone is curious. Quote
GongZ Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) $73,000 Hi Curtis, Can we assume that you are talking about the green 1971 240Z (aka HS30-00675) at the Classic Throttle Shop? If you are, I kind of hope the Lithgow seller doesn't find out. Edited August 25, 2015 by GongZ Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted August 25, 2015 Author Administrators Posted August 25, 2015 I heard a previous owner was looking to buy it back and was mortified to find out it had gone to Victoria, think he'll be mortified all over again if he knew the current asking price. *Edit asking price is on the website, $72,995 Quote
GongZ Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 ... *Edit asking price is on the website, $72,995 So it is! - http://www.classicthrottleshop.com/car4.html Quite a well written ad too, apart from the old "Designed by Albrecht Goetz" furphy. Quote
PeterAllen Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 As a general rule of thumb, you can buy cars at The Throttle Shop at 3/4 their asking price, and, if they eventually go to auction they fetch about 1/2. Quote

brent012 Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Quite a well written ad too, apart from the old "Designed by Albrecht Goetz" furphy. Also sounds like they might be confusing the BRE Peter Brock with the Australian Peter Brock? Quote
GongZ Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Also sounds like they might be confusing the BRE Peter Brock with the Australian Peter Brock? Well spotted Brent, I missed that part - "...it wasn't long before the 240Z went racing. And that's exactly what Legendary Australian racer Peter Brock did so successfully in the 1970's, devouring Toyota's, BMW's and Triumphs in U.S club racing." Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted August 26, 2015 Author Administrators Posted August 26, 2015 Clearly have no idea what they are on about. Sad but how you can mix up Peter Brock like that well... Clearly they just copy / paste nonsense. Quote

Due to University getting the better of me at times and need to pick my marks back up. The whole undercarriage was sprayed in thick Tar Based sound deadener.

dat2kman Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 So it is! - http://www.classicthrottleshop.com/car4.html Quite a well written ad too, apart from the old "Designed by Albrecht Goetz" furphy. So who did design the S30 bdy? It wont have been a single person, but a team f designers, led by a chief, as per usual with manufacturers. That Getman bloke was hired by Nissan, for a time. Quote

Well that made me do some Googling! I found a 2002 discussion between HS30-H, kats, our very own Gav240z and others on classiczcars.com http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/3866-lhd-240z-in-1969-tokyo-auto-show/ The discussion is mainly about whether the S30 was primarily designed as a LHD car for the US market - or RHD for the domestic Japanese market. HS30-H and kats do, however, agree that the design team was led by a Japanese gentleman by the name of Mr Matsuo. From what I have read, Goertz was involved in the early design stage, but left Nissan well before the design was progressed. The whole topic has been debated over and over, and I am quite prepared to be admonished by one or more of the acknowledged experts. Quote
