They would make great conversation pieces thats for sure haha!

Pretty hard to find 260Z 2-seaters in any case, most 260s around are 2+2s.

Pretty much anything priced under 10K is needing a lot of work, 2+2s included.

IMO prices for 2+2s have climbed by the same proportion as the 240/260 2-seaters have.

You just have to forget what you could have paid back then, & pay what someone will accept today, or you'll just get further & further behind & still have nothing in a year's time. Simple as that. It's all to do with supply & demand. Your friend made his move & won't regret it.

Well said. Its not like they are going backwards in price so whats the point!  

[mick260]

I picked up my 260 2 seater 18months ago for $11500 Complete rust free, l28 turbo disc brake rear end bigger twin pot calipers on the front, Simmons, coil overs, just needed a few interior bits and pieces.

[VintageNissanEnthusiast]

Lucky mate! If you are thinking of selling it for the same price let me know hahahah! 

[mick260]

Yeah it was a good buy. It was sitting on car sales for a month while other ones we're selling quite quick. In love with it now.

[MATTY]

Bout a year? I picked up a 2-seater 260 for $12k probably a year and a bit ago.

 

Don't think I'll ever be able to get another one for anywhere near that again.

 

 

Note the low AUD makes imports out of Australia quite attractive for people in Japan/UK/Etc. I think this has definitely played a part in it.

I picked my 260Z 2 seater for 13k bout 5 years ago. took me nearly that long to find one to begin with

[gav240z]

Note the low AUD makes imports out of Australia quite attractive for people in Japan/UK/Etc.

 

Wholeheartedly agree...

 

#299, #596 and #675 (see thread here), have all been exported to the UK recently. Whilst I have no problem with people in the UK wanting an S30Z, it's a bit depressing to see them leave Australia. Less cars here = less of a market = less specialists / workshops to cater to these cars.

 

So whilst I'm happy so long as they end up in good hands, I really want them to stay here if possible. We have so few left as it is..

 

Take a look at sites like: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/and www.pistonheads.co.uk to see what prices are being asked over that side of the pond for a good 240z/260z 2 seater.

 

It's my estimation that of the original 3000 or so 240z's brought here, only 10% survive today. So about 300, not all of which are currently on the road (many undergoing restoration).

 

260z 2 seaters were imported in even fewer numbers than 240z's. I can't recall the exact numbers now but that means there can't be many 2 seaters left in total.

[VintageNissanEnthusiast]

Very interesting, so 260z 2 seaters might be even harder to find that a 240? I am out of luck I think haha

[EJ101]

last year a bloke that lives not more than 2km from me gave me first dibbs on a 74 260Z 2 seater complete orginal but in need of restoration. I said yes and was trying to organise a time to come around but he was busy that weekend then couldn't do the friday arvo either and then just as I pull into my driveway to start the weekend all happy I'll have a Z soon I get a txt "sorry car sold" it sold on gumtree I believe for $8500

He lists the vin as being a HS30 however I thought the early zeds were just S30. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Does look a little dodgy to be honest... Reminds me of my zed haha.

Look at the bidding history, you can see many of the bids are from eBay users with a lot of eBay history. They don't appear to be phantom accounts set up to drive bids higher.

Hi Guys,

I now own the green 240Z having exported it from Sydney to the UK in December. I'm trying to piece together the history of the car. I bought it from Classic Throttle shop in Sydney in October. I think they bought it from a guy in Victoria who only owned it a couple of months. I would really like to get hold of the Lithgow owner to see if they have any history or paperwork for the car.

Can anyone help me with their contact details ?

 

The car is H30 00675. Very original and only requiring some slight changes to make it perfect. I am currently repainting the car and doing some work on suspension and gearbox to make it perfect.

 

Thanks for any help

Selling our 1976 Datsun 260z 2+2 , hasn’t been in previous accidents, has had a lot of money spent on it, very unique with near original interior, low km’s, and legally mod-plated 350 Chevrolet great sounding V8 engine with a matching manual gearbox.

NSW Engineered with this engine, has been registered with this engine in NSW and the engine number is listed upon doing a REVS check, please do your own research in regards to registering the car in your own state other then QLD prior to calling me, I have no idea whats needed in your state, I have had it engineered for QLD.

1976 - GRS30 - Sunroof model- Original Nissan windshield still

Air con model

156,000kms

350 Chevy V8 , Runs well however the fuel pump needs to be replaced from sitting around, will start for buyer can see running.

Manual gearbox to suit, has been modplated for engine, gearbox, external mechanical fuel pump and bigger front brakes, Comes with engineer certificate

Aftermarket ignition coil, air cleaner setup, Holley Carb, Custom made extractors with a custom made muffler to imitate the factory 260z Fairlady muffler.

Sports shocks and springs

American wheels with dish, with good Nankang tyres all round, 225/60's at the back

Hard to find a good put together 260z at a barn find price. Needs some work as they all do, any inspection welcome

 

 

 

I notice that there is no engine bay photo, which is unusual for a V8 conversion - so don't expect it to be very pretty.

for anyone with that desire for V8 this could be worth a look.

$8800 for a car that is engineered with a 350CI is pretty good going - would just depend on just how bad that body is, the photos lack detail.
