Honestly for a 2+2 like that, $500 and I'd pray it's not that rusty underneath, it's a parts car from the look of it and the lack of description makes it hard to ascertain what else it has going for it, (if anything). Hopefully the rust isn't that bad and is just surface rust thanks to an incomplete restoration... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty_Rah Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 That's what i would have estimated too.. I'm hoping to try to pick it up for a parts car, but being WA, i reckon a lot of other Z enthusiasts are thinking the same thing.. It si still registered which is interesting. I'll be inquiring about it as soon as they pick up their phone! I'm crossing my fingers that is salvageable.. Thanks Gav! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoota G Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Most times an entire car is a liability so that goes in your favour. I made $2500+ on a 2+2 that was in worse condition than this one. Over your way i would say complete cars are rare and any car that's abused like this one will have rust. I payed $650 for my rolling shell 3 years ago but it was local so i took that into account. It also had 2 engines with it. $500 offer may offend in my opinion. The fact that a parts car can go to save many others can help sway a sell for the right price.

Asking top dollar $30k - photos make it hard to judge but if it's rust free and only needs minor items then perhaps not a bad deal, as a few years from now I'm tipping it will look like a bargain. Just saying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GK510 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Hmmm......I spotted this earlier too. I am in the process of arranging to go and have a look at it. I shall report back regarding the number once I've seen it. I agree re the price being top dollar. But as you say, it will all come down to how the good the body is and how negotiable that price is. If the pic of the centre console is anything to go by, I'd say the interior still needs a fair bit of work. And it definitely needs some new shoes! Just don't tell anyone else about it until I've had a look OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't tell anyone else about it until I've had a look OK LOL - yes, well you've seen how to restore the console now . The throttle and choke knob can be sourced relatively easily thanks to reproductions. The ash-tray is harder to find at a reasonable price. However as I say they are minor things, the wheels and side mirrors do the car no justice in my opinion and if the paint is really good and body very solid and matching numbers engine to chassis coupled with an early number I'd say it would certainly be worth looking at more closely. It may have the original 71A? gearbox based on the shifter itself and it has the bonus original gear knob. The dash has definitely been out as the gauges are in the incorrect order. Clock is in the middle - it should be on the left. I just hope it wasn't a short cut rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thriller Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 ^ True that. Always seems a little suss when someone is asking a decent amount for a car that 'only needs a few tweaks'. If it was only a weekend or two worth of work, why not do it yourself, make the car actually perfect and charge appropriately? Funky mirrors, door handles look painted black? None of them are big issues, but if the owner can't be bothered doing those little things... Paint does look nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter t Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 There is a good 260Z for sale in Loganholme and the car is listed on Drive.com.au for $7500.00 but they will accept $6000.00. I have inspected this car and can assure that if I had the funds I would not being posting this. Check it out. Sorry I do not know how to post link to ad. Maybe Gav can do that for me. Or someone could give me $18k for my 75 2+2 and I could get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
