VIN: RS30 010210 REG: 76LDYZ (1976 Lady Z) 5 speed Manual Gearbox Matching Numbers With Original Engine Block ( L26-151029) I did check the car out. Dash is badly repaired, paint work is patchy, needs a closed door respray to get it constant. No real rust from a very quick look (some surface rust in bottom of hatch, under the battery, rear guard but nothing serious)?? Carpets are not original but seats are! & interior is good. No RWC due to fender mirrors. Mechanically, drives very well with fuel injection, warm cam and performance pipes but notchy gearbox grinding a little even when it warmed up. Suspension, brakes & steering are very good. Needs $5K+ to get it up to standard. gav240z and mikedoeslife 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil zed Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 So to clarify. 1971 car HS300561 is my car. I've put 30k into it already. after sandblasting it required a new roof, firewall, quarters and sills, floors pretty much everything. Have prepped panels to go back on. Just need to spot weld them on. I dont have many photos, sorry for the confusion. It's been repaired underneath which cost alot more time and money than I anticipated. In 2019 my farm burnt down and since then I've been funneling funds into my house and property so my mums not living in a paddock. The car owes me 30k. comes with l28 and 71b gearbox. pretty much anything I've got here spare I'll throw in to get it to a complete car. Considering that #535 has no actual repairs done I'm sure it's a bit logical that it has rust and bog etc. whereas my shell does not. it's all gone. so prospective buyers can have peice of mind. I'm asking too much? yes. Although considering the market and recent events I dont think I am too over zealous.

gilltech Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 What I think is a little confusing is the last photo, how does that photo fit with the others that show the car sans rear quarters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not sure the Aussie market has buyers who are willing? It definitely makes sense over buying a rusty bucket and trying to bring it to the same standard. But maybe it will exceed $100k? IMHO it should, give the asking price of equivalent cars in Japan these days, but I find our market lags a big because the majority of boomers with the money all want the Aussie muscle cars.. but there is a small niche into the Z's too. IMHO The only collector buying this car will be "connected" to the previous owners in administration, Chris Marco & Co., where they will have done a backroom deal for the paperwork. I can't see someone spending $100K+ to buy a car with ZERO history and paperwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
