Administrators gav240z Posted January 7, 2015 Author Administrators Posted January 7, 2015 2 Seater project car...there are a few guys after one of these? http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/booragoon/other-automotive/1974-datsun-260z-coupe/1066758583 First I've heard of this.... The suspention was origanaly setup for Datsun by Lotus. at that time Lotus had one 5, F1 world titals. and went on to win 7. Seems like it might have quite a bit more rust than what it appears...

dat2kman Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Rear strut assy and design is known as a Chapman Steut. After Colin Chapman. Chapman designed various Lotises ( Lotii?) Nissan copied the Chapman steut assy for rear. Bingo, The Datsun Z is a Lotus design!! What a load of cobblers. How come Mr Macpherson don't get a mention,,,, Quote

Story goes he took out his super 20 years ago, went around bought up 50 cars or so, and is slowly selling them off... my car paid for part of his wedding! Quote
oldmates260z Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks, that was the "Story"......the yellow one was cheap he seems on the money for the blue one, maybe even little on the cheap side. There was some one looking for a 2 seater at that price, I think? Quote

There was some one looking for a 2 seater at that price, I think? Yes there is / was Hi Guys, Just thought i would introduce myself, Ive been a bystander on the forum on and off for some time. Ive always wanted a classic sports car but typically could never afford it. I was extremely fortunate to experience driving a 1971 Hakosuka GTR Replica with an L-series engine during my visit to japan late last year (see attached pics), it was nothing like i had driven before. That experience has led me on the hunt for my first Datsun. Im currently looking for a 2 seater 240z/260z that is largerly a completed project with a 20k budget negotiable. I look forward to meeting you all and learning a bunch! Cheers Quote
sjarrett Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I still have the car, cant believe the uproar on here lol. the only reason it was up for sale is I had a window to purchase another car. I'm well aware its not worth 30k. not using anyone, when something pops up you have to try and grab it. so apologies for all you zed nuts, didn't mean to upset you. Quote
CroS13 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 he seems on the money for the blue one, maybe even little on the cheap side. It does have rust, how much i couldn't tell you but i did see bubbling in the doglegs, bottom of fenders and even top of fenders. Quote

It's a healthy forum with many "like minded" individuals You have bought well & entitled to do with the car as you see fit...it really is NONE of our business The value of early matching numbers cars is appreciating Quote

Administrators gav240z Posted January 16, 2015 Author Administrators Posted January 16, 2015 Not an S30z but a rare Japanese coupe. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/buderim/cars-vans-utes/1970-toyota-corona-rt72-coupe-rare-jdm-classic-240k-ta22-ra28-etc/1066044453 1970 Toyota Corona RT72 Coupe Quote

Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted January 18, 2015 Author Administrators Posted January 18, 2015 I think it's a steal given how rare it is, never seen 1 on the road! I also think it's a pretty cool looking little ride also. No doubt has some rot in the doors and probably other spots but I'd say given how Japanese cars are starting to pick up in value this will look like a bargain in a few years time. A better alternative to a KE55 or other KEXX coupe if you're looking for something really unique. Quote
chris240 Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Dang... For 5k Id have that if it was a touch closer to me...interior looks sweet. Mind you Im holidaying <100km from where it is Quote
oldmates260z Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 I can look at it if anyone is keen, could even store it for a little while if needed. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted January 20, 2015 Author Administrators Posted January 20, 2015 This entry is dedicated to Bozo. I'll create a separate thread to track values at some point but for now I'm putting it here. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-DATSUN-240Z-SURVIVOR-ORIGNAL-OWNERS-CA-GARAGE-FIND-ALL-ORIGINAL-NO-RESERVE-/231453104726 Original owner 1973 Datsun 240z. Sold for US $18,289.00 73 240z's tend to command less value than earlier cars in the US market. So this is a good price for an original car in a market where usually 240z's are historically the cheapest place to purchase an S30z globally. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted January 21, 2015 Author Administrators Posted January 21, 2015 Genuine HS30-H goes for $47,000 AUD http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m128781754 No headlight covers either.... I believe it to be genuine because the chassis prefix is HS30 (like our market) where the H usually means the use of an L24. Quote
