luvemfast Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 Anyone seen this one yet? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/datsun-260z-coupe-2-seater-suit-full-restoration/152770390736?_trkparms=aid%3D777003%26algo%3DDISCL.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D48792%26meid%3D921f25d197994b84aca94004b3febc51%26pid%3D100012%26rk%3D7%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D182862835048&_trksid=p2047675.c100012.m1985 Says it was immaculate and involved in a workshop fire...... If by workshop they mean that the V8 conversion caught fire, then yeah. Also need to be careful of the heat affecting structural integrity. Quote
Hokin Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) Yeah, its been there a while the one that caught fire. I'm worried about how distrored it will be from heat considering all of the melting that took place inside and the blueing colour of the metal. Upside is you can see where the bog is\was.

gilltech Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 I'm worried about how distrored it will be from heat considering all of the melting that took place inside and the blueing colour of the metal. It's also what effect the fire had on tempering of the steel, and what's happened inside all the various cavities, difficult to assess visually without actually working on it. Quote

I asked my Tafe teacher if he would ever buy a car that was in a fire (given he could restore cars the way Ledge in SA does) and he said no, never... That's your answer. . Just saw asking price was $10k, you'd need to be mad.... This car is a much better prospect. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1977-DATSUN-260Z-MANUAL-2-SEATER-COUPE-PROJECT-CAR-RALLY-RACE-RESTORE/272907190555 Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted November 8, 2017 Author Administrators Posted November 8, 2017 https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/_/SSE-AD-5083184 $22,500. Greensborough in Victoria. IMAGINE DRIVING AWAY It represents great value at $22,500. Vehicle registration expires Oct 2018. Vehicle registration paid until Oct 2018. This car is priced to sell quickly at $22,500. This classic 260Z is in very good condition and will suit the enthusiast or Z lover. Its a true Grand Tourer built for the open road, with crisp handling and performance that made the 260Z a world favourite with motoring journalists. Finished in striking Red with ever popular black interior, it still looks the goods today. Sold With original books and material, the Z is a classic for the collector or club member. Genuine enquirers only No time wasters please. Looks like an honest car, great buying for someone. Little bit of rust bubbles in lower door skin but otherwise probably a relatively rust free car. I can't see it lasting too long. OdinZ and MikeZ 2 Quote
OdinZ Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 he has already had lots of phone calls! hoping to see this tonight or tomorrow Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted November 8, 2017 Author Administrators Posted November 8, 2017 he has already had lots of phone calls! hoping to see this tonight or tomorrow haha yep, that happens. But just like property probably a lot of time wasters, tyre kickers etc.. maybe only 1 or 2 serious buyers. If you really want it don't mess around and talk turkey early on. . JDM-TOY 1 Quote
Dionysus Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 I would try give the owner a small deposit to hold it for you odinz. Might be worth the risk Quote
OdinZ Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 yeah already have talked to him, tried to put a deposit, wasnt the first person to do so. someone has apparently offered more then advertised too. This guy is a middle man, so he is trying to organise this for an old friend. Will hear back this afternoon Quote
Dionysus Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Offering more than its being advertised for is just all talk unless you're handing over the cash.. Good luck! OdinZ and gav240z 2 Quote
OdinZ Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Thanks! Makes all of the other 260z 2seaters & 2+2s advertised seem over priced now! haha There's a white 2+2 for $32k, and a couple of 2seaters $34k & $35k Quote
Cozza Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Yeah seems to be priced quite low compared to the others. Maybe the market has turned!! ? quick everyone time to sell up. ? OdinZ, cracker and gav240z 3 Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted November 9, 2017 Author Administrators Posted November 9, 2017 Yeah seems to be priced quite low compared to the others. Maybe the market has turned!! quick everyone time to sell up. Interesting you say that, there is 3 x Mazda R100's for sale now. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/14448-the-global-z-car-s30s130-market-thread/?p=197887 All asking up toward $100k, I do wonder how sustainable that is? I'd love 1, but not at that kind of money. Of course people who know me, know I'm bearish on Australian Real Estate and we're seeing cooling of the market right now, I do wonder if people are flogging off toys first? Hard to predict the future, but if we have a real estate correction, you can be sure that the Classic Car market over here will go down with it. How far that adjustment is, will depend entirely on the make and model and if there is global appeal for it. Aussie Muscle Cars in other words will probably see a bigger correction (in my humble opinion) where as the Classic Japanese stuff has a more global audience. OdinZ and richard260 2 Quote

I'd love 1, but not at that kind of money. I sold a really nice clean original R100 for about $5k years ago and at the time it was good money ! If only I had a crystal ball . OdinZ 1 Quote

If only I had a crystal ball . I know what you mean, I remember watching this Mazda R100 video on Youtube about 10 years ago and recall the car was being sold around $15k NZD. I was tempted to buy it back then! I also was tempted by an RX-2 coupe for around $17k (but it was modified with a 13B turbo). Both cars are worth a fortune now.. Original R100's are few and far between, just so happens 3 are on the market right now though! I guess people will only sell such things if they can get a price they want for it. Quote
