260z blues Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Yes sorry. Fail at english lol. Yes when i spoke to seller last night someone else had already paid a deposit. Super quick sale. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted February 23, 2017 Author Administrators Posted February 23, 2017 Worth it in parts alone if you consider: 1. Ashtray looked complete and unbroken. $550 USD. 2. Topy wheels all there: $1,200 AUD (at a guess). 3. TM-1081ZB(S) radio = $600-$1000 AUD. 4. Original parts, like steering wheel, dashboard (even cracked), console, seats etc..(let's say $1,000 min) 5. Good 1/4 panels? Doors? / Hatch? It's well worth it for the sum of parts, I was tempted to try snap it up. Take the bits I want (like Topy wheels) and sell it onward.. Hopefully new owner registers here and we can get the chassis no. looks like an earlier car and would love to document it. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted February 23, 2017 Author Administrators Posted February 23, 2017 Super quick sale. I've actually just gone and updated my preferences so that I get immediate notifications rather than daily ones for new listings. Half the time I'm missing these cars as they sell so quickly. Quote
260z blues Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Didnt realize that you could get immediate notifications. Will have to look into that also. Quote

Chassis ends in 2369. Unforseen circumstances sale. For sale 240z The hard decision has come to sell my 240 as I had plans to do up in memory of my mother. I am selling as I don't have the time and with a baby on the way I will have less and need to focus more on that. Anyway sob story over, this has from research I've done a California z kit moulded in, it was done in Sydney and was then put in storage, Standard motor. Standard auto (have a manual 5 SPD close ratio) It's in pretty good condition only minor rust, Paint is bubbling because when I bought it the bloke put in storage 20 odd years ago. Would be the perfect start for a good build. Boxes of random spare part 3 core alloy rad with twin thermos (still have the original if wanted) Will even pass on the qld personerlised plates (NVS240) All reasonable offers considered Oh yeah if I forgot to mention it it only has 5727 miles on the clock OdinZ 1 Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted February 23, 2017 Moderators Posted February 23, 2017 That car needs bigger wheels and tyres. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted February 23, 2017 Author Administrators Posted February 23, 2017 Also needs whale tail removed, naca duct removed and better looking flares, remove the front spoiler etc.. It could scrub up alright. Might not be too rusty, but the flares will detract from value a lot I feel. Dashboard looks crack free (possibly original skin too!). Not sure how it got an early 240z steering wheel. OdinZ 1 Quote
260z blues Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Yes those flares are horrendous lol. Asking price? Quote
Dilan240 Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 I messaged him earlier. Said he's after about 30k. Quote

daretobedifferent Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 I would be worried about is hiding under the fibreglass and bog. I agree, the car looks like its been caked in paint and seeing how these cars rust and how its been modified, I doubt its relatively 'rust free' Quote

Administrators gav240z Posted February 24, 2017 Author Administrators Posted February 24, 2017 Price is a bit ambitious I think, given no original L24 (L-series engine) and customisations. Paint colour is also not my cup of tea. Quote

It was on car sales back then. I think it was 10grand then. It was for sale for a long time then. Quote

Moderators PB260Z Posted February 25, 2017 Moderators Posted February 25, 2017 Soon to appear on ebay for $30K ?? Quote
road rider Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 She looked like a fairly honest car. A good starting point for $15,000. I wonder if it will reappear on ebay too!! Quote
brent012 Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 This car looks a lot like one that was for sale when I was looking for mine 2.5 years ago. It was on car sales back then. I think it was 10grand then. It was for sale for a long time then. In that condition? Around that time I remember there was a red HLS30 LHD 240z for about 14k, but in the photos it had visible rust (in the middle of the door I think?). Quote

Around that time I remember there was a red HLS30 LHD 240z for about 14k, but in the photos it had visible rust (in the middle of the door I think?). Nah it was purple with no flares. Same wheels. 2.5 years ago I bought my rust free l28 turbo 260 2 seater for around that money too. Quote
