Administrators gav240z Posted June 28, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted June 28, 2018 Beautiful, price in my mind is around $40k perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatoKid Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Yep, I agree. If its as good as it looks and reads then 40k every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
600Z Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Ok thanks guys, the asking price is 35k so I’m guessing he’s pretty much on the mark there abouts. It hasn’t been driven in several years as when the rego ran out he put it on the hoist but started every now and then so I sure it would need a bit of work here and there but but still looked pretty good when I had a look at it today. gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBR Jeff Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) Nice looking car. Being a one owner, with all the paperwork should attract a premium. It’s very rare to get a car with those credentials. If someone gets it for 35K it’s a steal in my view. Some simillar cars in the US have been selling for a much higher price than that when you factor in the US$. Good luck @Zedhead .

Yoohoo another Jeff Jeff Honestly I was tempted to say closer to $50k than $40k, but it sounds like it might need a lick of paint and an engine refresh and then I recalled the ex-Edward Lees car recently sold around $56k or so? Which I thought was a little lower than I expected given condition of the vehicle (but I saw it in person and it wasn't perfect, far from it). I get told off for being uber bullish, but for comparison have a look at what "not that good" stuff in Japan is selling for..(or at least asking prices). http://www.goo-net-exchange.com/php/search/summary.php?maker_cd=1015&car_cd=10151006&katashiki=S30 http://www.goo-net-exchange.com/php/search/summary.php?maker_cd=1015&car_cd=10151006&katashiki=HS30 It's hard to find pre-74 models (many have received early tail lamp conversions - zenki style). But are in fact later model Fairlady Z's (2.0ltr's) - like the MCM boys imported. You're paying $35k+ for many of these cars and they are often modified. That's why I still feel we undervalue them here, the US has started to see price growth and with their appreciating $USD they are getting quite expensive. It used to seem like a cheap way to get these cars was to import 1 from North America, now however the cheapest way is to buy a good 1 locally, but there are very few good ones!

OdinZ Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 and the MCM boys paid $40k for there's plus shipping & duties (duties probably ended up being lessing because no drivetrain) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone who is looking for a 2+2 these could be a good deal. The green car looks the goods. I imagine the location, and resultant transport costs, would put most people off. it would be one heck of a road trip to pick them up.

Administrators gav240z Posted July 2, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted July 2, 2018 Sounds like fun I'd love to go also haha. I reckon the purple car is not bad either. Diamond in the rough, shame about the sunroof but a 2+2 turret might be easier to locate! Both look relatively rott free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
