Call me strange/ weird !!!  but I sort of like this car !!   However the stripes and the wheel covers would have to go !!  Perhaps paint it Red or maybe Black ?? the drop it a bit with some 16inch  Watanabe's on it and I reckon it would be a cool car !!  Plus I would leave it left hand drive just to add to the experience !!   Having said all this I am talking if you could own it for $10k  !!    As TomC18 says at $20k he is dreaming !!   MB

if you read the questions at the bottom of the Ebay listing he say's he will take $20 min ;D

 

 

 

  You would need a Holden/Falcon ute, well packed for the parts, car can be driven on a permit. You can buy a lot of rust for $15000, this has none,No. $20 min will buy it. Perhaps you should take a look prior to making an offer.

For $20 it's a good buy!

 

Simon Ray will be happy - he has a black RHD 2 seater, must be worth $30 min...

Yep, saw that 280ZX as well.

 

I agree with others here that the seller is dreaming if he thinks he's going to get 20K plus for that car.

 

Those strips are butt ugly too!

 

Shame as I've always had a soft spot for a 2 seater 280ZX O0

At this price point they all have rust, which rust are you afraid of in particular?

 

What's interesting is that the other 240z for sale on eBay right now.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Datsun-240z/172708880783

 

Is HS30 101165 so only 5 cars away from what you just bought HS30 101170.

 

What are the chances of that? I dunno...

 

I actually expected your car to reach at least $12k.. so thought it went a bit cheaper than expected.

Hi Gav,

 

Just hope it's not too far gone to be able to restore. Would like your opinion on this, but guess the pictures don't really show much at all.

 

Cheers

Greg

Did you see this?

http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/1924-cars-for-sale-3rd-party-sites-ebay-carsales-etc/?p=192351

 

Nick has a lot of experience with these cars, if he says it's a big job it's probably a big job.

 

It looks like it was de-listed... maybe someone has taken the plunge?

it's close, i would like something a little more complete, or running, but this might be my only shot at a 2 seater (even though not a 240).

 

does anyone know the car and/or seen it recently?

Which car was nick taking about?

 

Are you referring to the blue one hs30 101165 or the white one hs30 101165? Sorry I'm confused

Mint 260z 2 seater on Trademe.co.nz (read it with a kiwi accent it's funnier) :P

 

Asking $42,000 NZD.

 

http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=1343141766

 

Chassis RS30 - 000753 

 

602065061.jpg

 

 

Chassis RS30 - 000753 
Engine L26066740 
5 speed manual 

4 owners from new 
Original BLACK registration number plate 
First reg in NZ 21 May 1974 
New testing station WOF 


Original, desireable and highly collectible 2 seater Japanese sports car. It's in great condition, has always been well maintained and lives in a purpose built shed. 

Looks great from 10ft but up close has quite a number of paint blemishes which will need attention at some time. 
It was explained to me that approx 18 years ago it was bare metal resprayed - there was possibly some sort of contamination between the prep coat and final coat which resulted in some very small bubbles forming within 6 months after the respray- most being noticeable on the right rear guard. 
Hard to describe and even harder to photograph (photo 17 and 18) - if you are interested you need to check it out first. 
Brakes have just been refurb all round, new nolethane bushings, original handbook, keys etc etc 
Have original fibreglass rear spoiler and steering wheel. 

Reason for sale: Late last year i injured my back ...unfortunately the resulting operation hasn’t been as successful as I had hoped for and as a result my 'Z' isn’t seeing ANY road time (too low for me to get into and out of without difficulty) so it's time to sell as it’s NOT a car that's meant to be on static display in a shed. 
(i have just sold my Boss Mustang for the very same reason)

Did you this one in the US ?

 

http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1970-datsun-240z-13/

 

Sold US39, 250.00

 

Yes I updated the other thread.

http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/14448-the-global-z-car-s30s130-market-thread/?p=192904

 

It's a good price for an "unrestored" car in North America that's for sure..

Why do I love this car!!!  Think it's another case of this.............  http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/14515-ugly-car-love/

 

Given it's a 2 seater I'm not surprised someone has bid the minimum.  People who want 2 seater z's can't be picky on something like colour scheme...... and wheel covers....... and hell burgundy velour screams class - owner needs to get a matching smoking jacket though

I don't mind the colour of that 280ZX, it's just those stick on stripes or whatever you want to call them.

Remove the stripes and put on a wide set of mags. 280ZX's can take some wide rubber with plenty of space beneath the guards and the right offset mag.

 

But at the end of the day, it's still left hand drive.

And it's going to cost to convert it to RHD both in time and money. Luckily parts are supplied with the sale.

Sounds like the dash being supplied will need a re skin for a start and who knows what else might need attention. 

 

At the end of the day it's going to cost money on top of the 20K purchase price to get it to where you want it :)  ;D
