Administrators gav240z Posted July 30, 2009 Author Administrators Posted July 30, 2009 Looks like it has hole in the roof, and its a 260z 2 seater. I'd be stripping that paint straight off though, doesn't look like it was done that well judging by the engine bay anyway. Quote

George Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 oldmanz is interested in this as well pauly. gav, are you sure it's a 260? the owner doesn't seem to know or is playing dumb and pretending it's a 240. i spoke to him about the engineers report and he was skirting around the dates. i doubt this one can be registered with an 8.

It's a 1973 model...I was going to own it...But i've had 2nd thoughts..looks like a hand full to me. Quote
FLEXZED Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 thanks george and pauly i will only own it if the price right i have put a bid in so lets see what happens,asked for any info and numbers on the car and all i got was " its a 1973 datsun 240z " that tell me heaps * not * Quote
Mr240z Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 170 km – about 2 hours 34 mins Thats what I'd be doing tomorrow......Go have a look see and see what your buying.. Quote
FLEXZED Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 cant working saturday and have to be in the gong on sunday Quote
TheZFeel Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Would have been a possible buy except for its v8. I'm not allowed to drive v8's :'( Quote
C.A.R. Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Would have been a possible buy except for its v8. I'm not allowed to drive v8's :'( Well that's a silly comment. Can you guess why? IMHO that thing is hiding a multitude of sins. I personally wouldn't want to pay any more that 3-4k for it. Quote
George Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 yeah but for 4k with a bunch of parts it could be a good buy. really needs a look. oldmanz is a braver man than i bidding sight unseen. anyone live close that can check it out this weekend? Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted July 31, 2009 Author Administrators Posted July 31, 2009 gav, are you sure it's a 260? Nope, the dashboard is definitely 260z, but the rear tail light garnish area has cut outs for 240z tail lights. So my guess is the body is of 240z type (HS30) probably 1973 due to the side repeaters on the front fenders, and the dashboard is 260z. Interesting that the hatch glass has a demister. Although all these changes could have been made during the cars life. Definitely inspect this 1 before buying, there are certain things that just don't add up. I really don't like the paint job, but that's just me. Quote

TheZFeel Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Im still annoyed for not finding that 240z for $1500 on gumtree sooner By the way the add has been modified and he is now saying its a 1973 model and to ignore what the add says about being a 1979 model. Quote
NZeder Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Other/auction-229963815.htm I know that car live just around the corner from me and I have worked on it in the past + it used to be owned by a guy I worked with (there were 5 of us that owned zed in the one place - and we were all computer engineers so that was 33% of the engineering team who owned S30's) Quote

chris240 Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Geez I like that gold 2 seater. Agree , good starting point for someone. Looks like it could have a low-ish reserve. Quote
TheZFeel Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 What so nice about that 260c cedric? Apart from the Style of the seats i see nothing else that's unusual. I guess its just that im young, is there something special about the car? Quote
C.A.R. Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 It's fairly rare (these days) & it'd make a sweet cruiser come tow-car Quote
MickyG Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Please don't hate me for posting this here but apparently this would "suit ... 240Z 260Z Buyer." I'm in the market for a 240Z & have been for some time now. At no point have I thought to myself; "you know what, maybe I don't really want a 240Z, maybe what I really need is a ... 180B!" http://cgi.ebay.com.au/DATSUN-180B-MINT-UNMOLESTED-SUIT-1600-240Z-260Z-BUYER_W0QQitemZ230363616297QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Cars?hash=item35a2bdd429&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Quote
