Administrators gav240z Posted April 7, 2006 Administrators Share Posted April 7, 2006 240z #60 is listed for $20,000 AUD on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/DATSUN-240Z-HS30-1970-Chassis-00060-matching-numbers_W0QQitemZ4627235169QQcategoryZ102220QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I don't want to put down the owner, however I want to know what everyone else's opinion on this is? Keep in mind that in Japan these cars easily fetch alot of coin. I think he's hoping for an international buyer like from Japan or maybe even the US or UK? For someone in the UK it's only really about $10k maybe even less. It looks like it would need a bit of work to be show room presentable though, although i've seen plenty worse.

warrenz Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Sounds like he is putting $15K on the 00060 chassis number. Forget thet number and it is probably a $4-5k car in need of $10K worth of body and paint. Great for all of us if he gets $20K but I doubt it.

lambs Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Dreamin.... A month or so ago he wanted $9K+, then dropped the price to $4999 as a starting price but got no bidders. Someone on here was interested and got more details, so would know more. Your right, probably a good starting point, if rust is not too bad and everything else checks out (completeness, interior condition, etc). The japs generally don't what 'restorers' but cars that have actually had the work done already. $20K is about $US15K+ shipping, and I can't see anyone over there being interested in a 'restorer' for that those sort of $$, esp when there are still a reasonable number of these cars still available in the US. That leaves the UK and pretty much the same situation although less cars were sold there, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve240 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Hi guys, I only just joined your site. I've been looking around here for a while but thought I should join so I could reply to this post. I have actually seen this car, and the guy is absolutely dreaming!!! There is ALOT of rust in this car, so much so that you'd send it to Sims Metal if it weren't an early car. The underbody has been knocked around with lots of dents in the floor, and the interior is a little rough although mostly complete. The dash board has been capped and it has a fibreglass console. There's much work to be done on this car, certainly too much for me. It may suit somebody who's pretty handy at panel work, but you wouldn't be paying 20, 8 or even 4 grand for it. That's just my opinion anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeddophile Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 yeah, that was the $5k car that RBZ 260 was looking at i think, with the smoothed over dogleg on one side... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
