Datsun 4 3 2 Zed for sale.

[road rider]

I noticed this listed on the trading post(along with a couple of other zeds)

 

Could it be a genuine 432??

 

If it is genuine, I wonder what it will fetch.

The Mags and grille look authentic, also the matte bonnet.

 

Not sure about the orange I thought they were a yellow type colour. Pitty there is no pictures of the engine.

 

But I would buy it if I had the money.

[NZeder]

They were made in Red, Green, White and the Orange and the Sand colour too. All were early bodies which this looks to be ie vented hatch and different rear guards without vents. As stated the grill, and wheels are also correct so this is either a very good replica or a genuine item but hard to tell without better photos and more info - I would guess around $120K AUD if genuine ie 7,500,000 yen

I have messaged him asking for pic in the engine bay

60-70K for a genuine Fairladyz 432 - bargain assuming the body is in good nick and engine does not need work (parts can be hard to get and pricey)

 

One day I hope to import a FairladyZ 432 into NZ - and if I won lotto this weekend - I would purchase this one (if it checks out and is genuine) and ship to NZ in a heart beat.

And if you check out their website, along with this car and a 240zg, they're listed them under "Vehicles in Stock", even though they clearly do not have any of them.

 

Makes you a little apprehensive dealing with them when they work like this doesn't it?

no matter how hot or genuine a zed is.........i can't see it going for anything past $25K max these days.............seriously.......

 

the ppl who can work on them can't see themselves spending that much...............the ppl who can afford them would get something else.

[Zedman240®]

Compare it to the Holden and Ford enthusiasts... $400-$500,000 for a Phase III? and similar prices for old Monacho's? I'm sure in the Zed world there are people who would be happy to spend more than double that on a genuine 432...If I had the cash i wouldn't think twice..

agreed - remember that the accountants and the Skyline GT-R team did not want the S30 to have the S20 engine in the first place they are a rare piece of Nissan history that I for one would love to own and the number outside of Japan is few and far between. I believe there was one in Australia years ago - not sure if it when back to Japan or not.

 

I guess that is why I am putting the hybrid RB25/RB26DE engine in my 260z 2 seater, as I long for a 432 and this is closest I can get a 2600cc DOHC NA powered 260z - within my current budget (which is well blown and I think by now I could have had a good replica 432 or a rough genuine 432 with all the $$ I have spent on all the zed's I have owned over the past 16 years)

Dude, are you talking about a normal Aussie delivered S30 or the 432 and 432R and 240zg (HS30-H) models?

 

In Japan a 432 will fetch big money, much like a KPGC10 GTR will.

 

If I had the dough I would pay the right money for any one of those cars.

 

$25K is what a reasonable restoration job on a 240z will get, there are buyers out there willing to part with more if the right car comes along.

 

6-7 years ago you could pick up a good 240z for $10k things have and are changing.

 

I myself would like to import a genuine Fairlady 240zg one day, I have been considering building a replica with my 240z, but not sure yet.

i can't understand why in the states they are still selling for peanuts

I would not say that - I have seen good cars listed for 20k USD - remember a numbers game - they have lots and lots and lots of them and finding rough ones for lower $$ can still be had. Here in our parts of the world finding a 240z or 260z for sale is not a common task - yes in Australia at anyone time there might be 5 for sale any given week of the year somewhere in Oz but in the US there would be 20 or more so if you are looking for one chances are you will find one. Here in NZ you don't see them for sale for months then 3 come up....then 6 or 12month dry spell again. So you guys in Oz are luck as they price is still lower over there than here.

Yes but you have more early Rotaries for sale in NZ it seems and cheaper . Yes I've been unfaithful looking at RX3's, but don't worry no plans to sell the Zed or anything.

Yes the rota's have always been big sellers over here so numbers are high - and I look too - 70's Japanese car I guess I love that kind of thing as I spent the early 70's living in Asia as a child. Not sure by we might have the highest rotaries per capita I know we are the second next to Italy when it comes to Ferrari ownership.

 

Anyway I digress. paying big $$ for a genuine Fairlady Z 432 is just the market much like the 60-70's Ozzie Holdens/Fords market is now very high (for those special models) and personally I would much prefer to pay $100K for a rare 432 than for a old taxi (reads Falcon or Monaro)

Got the same reply when asking for pictures of the engine bay to post up here.

[Hammer]

So what do you guys think the orange car that Phil Lee is selling should be worth?  He's asking $35k for it now.  Is it worth that?

 

And on average, how much is a good semi-restored 240z should be worth?

Well given zed sell for more over here in NZ on average - here is link to a thread about a 240z that sold for $31K cheaper than $35K AUD as I am talking NZ funny money here. The car used to be owned by a Nissan dealer and was fully restored by them when in their ownership. So I think 35K for that car is OTT in your market.

 

Here is the thread about the car I am talking about http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,2434.0.html

I have lots of pics of the detail of the car but I did not take any of the car as a whole as these were on Trademe (long gone now) but you will see in the thread mentioned one pic of the level this car was at...ie looked like a new stock 240z.
