Administrators gav240z Posted June 28, 2020 Administrators Share Posted June 28, 2020 Good luck, even rusty / projects are now minimum $15k+ it would appear. There is 1 on Gumtree and another on eBay at the minute. Under $20k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have running gear, missing parts that you will need to buy (new aftermarket or old parts that need fixing), interior, wiring, wheels & tyres and the list goes on. Best to find a really clean example and enjoy that one and add your own mods to your taste. But its all up to you in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators gav240z Posted July 5, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 5, 2020 I thought the same thing about Real Estate for ages. Still hasn't happened. Whilst central banks are printing trillions of dollars and devaluing currency it's hard to see how it's all gonna pan out. I personally would rather hold assets whilst this insane money experiment pans out. CBR Jeff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill keep looking as that was exactly what i was after. Fair warning they will cost you much more to restore in the long run than a good example. I personally look at those cars and question if they are worth it? Since they are not early 240z's, having said that I'm sure 260z 2 seaters will increase in value going forward but you can save yourself a lot of headaches buying better examples.

Sims_doc Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Hi, Folks! I saw your thread and i've been looking at the same in the 4,000 - 3,300 range either 240z/260z or perhaps a 300zx. Would really like to secure something before the prices become unfeasible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 True Gav It will take alot of time and money to bring one back in that condition. Ill take either a 260z or 240z hopefully in better condition than these were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
