silverz Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Hi, I am considering parting with my Z as I am being moved with work again and I am concerned I will not have suitable facilities to keep the old girl in, there are also long term health issues that make it difficult for me to sit in the car for too long. I have not discussed this with my sons yet as both are keen to get their hands on the car one day, so things may change however I will consider offers over $15000 because that's what I consider it is worth to me. If I can't get this amount I will probably buy another car, deregister the Z and keep it in the Garage in Townsville. Model: 1973 240z 5 speed manual L24 Engine (compliance plate shows 9/73) Location: Townsville QLD Item Condition: Good daily driver. Body: Very little rust. Purchased car from rust free Canberra from original owner in 2007. Mechanical: Mechanically quite sound. Since I have owned it I have replaced seat belts, steering rack bushes, rear wheel bearings, rear wheel cylinders, clutch slave cylinder and hose, rear gearbox mount, reconditioned the harmonic balancer, reconditioned 280ZX distributor. The has Diff recently been reconditioned. carpets replaced, seats recovered, windscreen & seal replaced. Carburettors set up, bent needle replaced, float levels reset etc. Car comes with some spares including spare diff housing, 3 x cylinder heads and original distributor, coil, ballast resistor etc. Price and Payment Conditions: Offers over $15000 Registration: QLD Registration until Aug 2011. Extra Info: I am the second owner of this car, it is not perfect and is not heavily modified (even has the original AM radio) but it has a great old school look and I have driven it for over 13000 miles with very little trouble. Pictures: Pictures date from 07/08 when car was in Darwin. If anyone is seriously interested I will provide pictures of whatever they want. <a href="http://s725.photobucket.com/albums/ww254/rob082/?action=view¤t=SideViewNonoriginalwheelshavebeenon.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww254/rob082/SideViewNonoriginalwheelshavebeenon.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s725.photobucket.com/albums/ww254/rob082/?action=view¤t=Showingoffveryoriginalinterior.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww254/rob082/Showingoffveryoriginalinterior.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s725.photobucket.com/albums/ww254/rob082/?action=view¤t=000_0300.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww254/rob082/000_0300.jpg" border="0" alt="side view"></a> <a href="http://s725.photobucket.com/albums/ww254/rob082/?action=view¤t=000_0298.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww254/rob082/000_0298.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s725.photobucket.com/albums/ww254/rob082/?action=view¤t=000_0294.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww254/rob082/000_0294.jpg" border="0" alt="rear view 2007"></a> <a href="http://s725.photobucket.com/albums/ww254/rob082/?action=view¤t=000_0293.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww254/rob082/000_0293.jpg" border="0" alt="datsun, rear left hand view"></a> <a href="http://s725.photobucket.com/albums/ww254/rob082/?action=view¤t=000_0302.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww254/rob082/000_0302.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s725.photobucket.com/albums/ww254/rob082/?action=view¤t=image.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww254/rob082/image.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Contact Details: For any further details on this car PM me.

Scoota G Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 +1 for the red interior ... that's Good Squishy . Look super cool in a white Zed, Good Luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted November 10, 2010 Administrators Share Posted November 10, 2010 Mate fantastic Z and I love the color combination especially the red interior. 15K is very reasonable in my opinion and I think you should have no problem selling it.

sydney mike Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Oh Peter, the memories come flooding back! :'( This is the "one that got away" for me, the one that I refer to in my very first post on this forum. Even before Peter sent a mate to look at this Zed down in Canberra, I phoned the owner and offered him his asking price sight unseen as he seemed honest and straight-up with the description of the car. Problem was, he was too honest and straight up and told me that he had promised Peter first dibs, and would call me if Peter didn't buy it..... Well the call never came and the rest is history and I bought another silver Zed. Hope you can keep it for your sons. If I didn't value my marriage I would buy this Zed in a heartbeat!

Ben Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Wow, a '73 that still has the indicators in the right place! (most I've seen, which isn't many, have them under the bumper bar...) Nice ride. Every time I see a car like this I want mine back on the road! GongZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Linn Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Is the vehicle still for sale? I live in Warakurna Remote WA, so I cannot come across and have a look. Does the vehicle need any work done on it, would be looking at driving it back to Alice Springs. I work bush most of the time and hard to contact can you send me you ph number so I can have a chat.

silverz Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 After much thought and guidance from family and friends - all of whom want me to keep the car, I have decided I definitely won't be selling it at this stage. Depending on recovery progress from my hip/leg injury I will either drive the car from Townsville to my new job in Albury/Wodonga in early/mid Jan or It will be deregistered and put in the garage in Townsville. I apologise to those people who indicated genuine interest in purchasing the car, I am genuinely sorry for stuffing you around and getting your hopes up and I wish you luck finding a suitable car.
