Administrators gav240z Posted December 5, 2013 Author Administrators Posted December 5, 2013 Car #86 has sold and getting a professional restoration for a collector. Was that the car on Gumtree? Red 1 in Port Melbourne? Any idea what it sold for? Quote
George Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Yes, that's the one. Would have been close to if not list price ($9k). Owner wasn't very negotiable. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted December 5, 2013 Author Administrators Posted December 5, 2013 Bit rich for me considering what it needed. Quote

George Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 Car # 150 on ebay. Not the original engine + a sunroof and who knows what else has been changed. Sister car to an "Early Girl" often seen on the backroads out Yarragon way. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Datsun-240z-Coupe-/12122f8868691?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item1c39cdbc53#ht_69wt_1399 $5,125 Comments?

Moderators PB260Z Posted December 7, 2013 Moderators Posted December 7, 2013 Did you see who bought it? As Lurch said Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted December 7, 2013 Author Administrators Posted December 7, 2013 I heard its heading to NSW. Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted December 7, 2013 Moderators Posted December 7, 2013 I heard its heading to NSW. The NSW contingent has indeed been growing in strength of recent. Quote
George Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 We need more in NSW! Seems like every car that comes up for sale is interstate. Recently only the orange one below has been in NSW. '73 240Z $22k Sydney http://www.carsales.com.au/Private/details/SSE-AD-2500948 Looks like it sold yesterday. Any word of a new owner? Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted December 7, 2013 Author Administrators Posted December 7, 2013 OK I'll let the cat out the bag I bought Lurch's sister car 150. Didn't think I would win at that price. I'm expecting a bucket of rust but hoping to be surprised. Will post details of build direction and plan soon. Let's hope it will fit in the garage next to the rx7 I don't think there will be enough room but maybe I can Jimmy up a form of shelter for it if not. It looks complete from photos so I'm hoping she hasn't been to messed about with. Quote
George Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 Great news. Congratulations! Would love to come and check it out Gav. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted December 7, 2013 Author Administrators Posted December 7, 2013 Great news. Congratulations! Would love to come and check it out Gav. More than welcome to. I am really hoping we get numbers together for TAFE course so I can use this car as part of the course. Practical application. I'll start another thread in a minute. Gotta get this thing transported . @Chris I have actually been thinking we need to integrate the WA Zcars registry closer into this site so we can get a true gauge of how many of what are in each state, but yes part of me wants to help the NSW crew get as large as Victoria . Then I'll need to just move between states to build each Z fraternity up lol.. Quote

I'll see if I can dig up my quotes. Quote
