Moderators PB260Z Posted November 27, 2017 Moderators Posted November 27, 2017 ^^ Seriously bugging me ... does anyone know where the car is parked on that last shot?? I'm drawing lines on a map, but can't place the exact location. Hi aj_ Not 100% certain, but it looks like Balls Head Reserve down the bottom of Waverton. aj_ 1 Quote

It's been my observation over the last 20 years of occasionally buying/browsing. Granted this is a 2 seater but it's still unregistered and in a less desirable model ? Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted November 28, 2017 Author Administrators Posted November 28, 2017 Nice spot! I'll have to take a *meeting there one day. Cheers. *drive If you go at night and someone comes up to your car and asks you if you're here for the 'dogging' you say no.. Is it just me or are 90% of the sellers in Just Cars magazine somewhat optimistic about the price they're going to get ? It's been my observation over the last 20 years of occasionally buying/browsing. Granted this is a 2 seater but it's still unregistered and in a less desirable model ? Just Cars magazine is always priced a little high, but given it's a 2 seater I think price is justified. I only know of a handful of such examples in the country. So whilst there is a small market there is limited supply to go with. Quote

gilltech Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Jeez. The '73 is not even bolted together. As for the '71, good luck. I think the asking prices are at least double what they are worth in that state given what remains that's even remotely useable. The WA car in red & grey primer for K$10 looks by far the best of those three. The other two look to have deteriorated far past any practical, sensible and value-for-money restoration. Best to buy the ex-UK silver car further up the page for K$33, tidy the paint and bits and pieces and drive it now, far better value than any of those rotted 'project' cars on which you'd be spending tens of thousands of dollars and years of work trying to save.

Administrators gav240z Posted November 28, 2017 Author Administrators Posted November 28, 2017 Hmmm not sure how good the ex-UK car is (if it is indeed an ex-UK car). But it certainly is a better starting point than the other 3. Outside of that the WA car which is an auto 72 model looks like a reasonable buy for a project oriented buyer. OdinZ and gilltech 2 Quote
gilltech Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 It sure seems that a lot of Zeds have surfaced in the past 12-18 months that have somehow escaped the metal recycling bogey man, with being parked up outside have deteriorated well beyond any practical restoration, yet their owners are still asking moonbeams prices. gav240z 1 Quote

Sadly it appears that not many are left in great shape these days. They all have dotted history. Even my 72 240z has had some rust repairs I'm not entirely happy with, still a great car but it wasn't repaired to a standard I'd hold myself to, as I'm sure many others were not either! The more I look the more I realise how difficult it is to find a true time capsule car. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted November 28, 2017 Author Administrators Posted November 28, 2017 By the way if anyone can tell me the chassis no's for the WA car and the Silver 73 (with UK style bumper). I'd appreciate it, as I'll add it to the records! Quote

1600dave Posted November 29, 2017 Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Its nice, but stuff like having a grille from a standard '68 model rather than a SSS '71 model would make me a bit wary. Cheap enough though compared to similar cars that have come up for sale. Edited November 29, 2017 by 1600dave Macdat 1 Quote
Cozza Posted November 29, 2017 Posted November 29, 2017 Yeah, it’s quite nice. A couple pics of the engine bay would be nice. What’s the stuff in the boot just right of the fuel tank? Quote
1600dave Posted November 29, 2017 Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) The little white / ivory box is the controller for the sequential flashing indicators (a SSS-only feature, only works on the SSS specific taillights). The black box with hoses looks to be some sort of fuel vapour thing ? Not sue if its a Japanese market feature, aussie 1600's just had a plastic pipe going to the vent in the boot floor where the black box is. Sequential indicators are cool. And so is the mechanical controller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChH--ndoofc Edited November 29, 2017 by 1600dave gav240z 1 Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted November 29, 2017 Author Administrators Posted November 29, 2017 If you're buying it under no illusion that it may be hiding some poor panel repairs in the past it is ok.. Something about the dog leg area just doesn't sit right... Quote
