ichigo-260Z Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Just note that some of those ads can be quite old. Just Cars for example have 240Zs from 2014 still on their website. Quote

road rider Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) Yes, I am still searching for that 2 seater 280ZX. Tempted to call the seller but I am after a road car more than a rally car. Came across this one(it's the second listing on the page) Sounds interesting, set up as a rally car presently, but with full NSW reg. Running a few mods, Haltech computer, R200 LSD etc Price: $16K Location: Penrith, NSW http://www.amsag.com.au/classifieds.php edit: just called the seller and left a message!

Reddog Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 '77 260Z 2 Seater gone fast? (W.A.) Gumtree had a 1977 Gold manual Coupe advertised Thu/Fri this week for $14.5K and appears to have been snapped up, hopefully to a good home. I think it had a RB30(?) transplant, registered but not running at present due to some electrical gremmlins. Owner still had the original motor. Gold colour with original gold/bronze laquered mags. Ad did not last long so I cannot remember details for certain, but looked like a potentially good project car... Rod. Quote
ichigo-260Z Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) Yeah, it sold for $16k 2 hours after I had a look at it. It had an RB30 in it and was in very good condition. Barely any rust. Lots of original service books and reciepts too. Disappointed I missed out on it... Is this what you are referring to?

thriller Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Did every single car from '77 come in that color? Of the dozen odd that I've seen, I don't think any of them have not been that weird champagne. We only got 95 odd of them here. Quote
Reddog Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Yep, That's the one. At least you got a chance to have a look at it as there are not too many of the '77 Coupes (manuals) around these days. The cream interior was not that common either. I seem to remember reading on this forum a few years ago that there were only 98 of the 1977 2 seaters imported into Australia? I was contemplating it for a spares or backup project for mine. Glad he got more than he was asking for it. Rod. Quote
Reddog Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 I am pretty sure the normal colours came in as well on the '77 models? Mine is 110 Red with Cream interior and I have seen the light 'Metallic Blue' as well as a 'Forrest/BR Green' back in the '80's on the Coupe's.. Rod. Quote

I wonder what 'other' cars he has for sale(as mentioned in the add) I visited and looked at this car around 4 or 5 years ago, this is the same add and price I saw at the time. At that time I also asked about the yellow car but was told he had just sold it to someone in WA....and the add still exists for both of them in Unique Cars 5 years on?!? Quote

Check out this Datsun 260Z. https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Datsun-260Z-1977/SSE-AD-3880127 You sure barely any rust? I saw the ad and there was a few places where there was rust on the exterior body and judging by the mud covered tyres was definitely kept outside. Quote
ichigo-260Z Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Datsun-260Z-1977/SSE-AD-3880127 Well I may not be the best judge of rust. Yes it was kept outside, but the interior under the carpets was very good, but there were a couple spots above the drivers side door which needed attention. Edited March 5, 2016 by ichigo-260Z Quote
Scotty_Rah Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 I know who owned this car! this is the car that made me fall in love with zeds.. I wonder if the guy who owned it then was still the same owner.. Quote
datoman Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Does anyone have the link to the ad? I can try and retrieve the images, I missed it. I was the first to call this guy when the add came up I was really looking forward to a JDM project car. But this one wasn't to be... Real nice guy! I had asked him a few questions about the original motor documentation etc. I could have sealed the deal then for 14.5k his asking price but waited until the next day to hear back. still first in line! I spoke to him the next day and he had told me that he had some guys offering more! And i chose to pull out. He had a you family so the extra money will certainly will help him out. Here is the advert and images; Meet Deirdre. A beautiful example of 1977 Japanese style and engineering. 71,000 km on the clock only. This Datsun 260Z Manual has had a humble RB30 engine conversion done by official Nissan mechanic over in Bunbury, W.A. i have owned the car for 6 years now and she has been a beaut. It is priced to sell quickly at $14,500. The car does run and is need of a little bit of love to take it to a whole other level. Electrics seem to be the main thing which need a bit of resources spent. This unique Datsun 260Z Coupe won't last long at this price $14,500. This car has a powerful 3 litre engine. With the original 2.6L carburettor engine in storage this is also available for the buyer who would be keen on restoring to it's original state. An unmolested classic car for the right person who has the passion to take care of. Minor rust beginning to set in - the car has been garaged up until very recently when we have moved into our new place. Reason for selling is i now have two children and simply do not have the time to give the car the love she deserves. SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY - DO NOT WASTE MY TIME PLEASE. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/gallery/album/357-260z-victoria-sold/ oldmates260z and gav240z 2 Quote

Yes that would be great if you can. I was planning to use Umbrella towing that I've seen a few other members using who quoted $950 to deliver from Margate , QLD to Melbourne. Quote
