benny Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Hey Guys, A few of you have been asking questions so thought I should post something up!! A couple of weeks ago I decided its probably best to sell my 240Z and get something thats all ready on the road as i was running out of time before the baby is due!! A few days after it sold I got a call from someone saying they had a one owner 1974 260Z in top condition, so the next weekend i took a drive to go have a look it. When i arrived i was astounded at how well it has been kept, the body is probably an 8/10 and the interior is bordering on a 10/10. The original L26 still runs strong enough but will need a head-gasket in the future!! So far all i have done is give it a clean up, new federal tyres and replace all the fluids courtesy of Moorabin Auto Spares. There are no real plans for the car at the moment and it will stay mostly original. Had a bit of a photo-shoot today in an old factory... came up a treat! Thanks to Ash for the plates!! If anyone wants full res pics PM me!! Quote
C.A.R. Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Nice pix Benny. I can attest that it is indeed a damn nice RS30! Quote

Just don't use this car to take Lizzie to the hospital why not the bumpy ride might speed up the process lol Quote
matt drago Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Nice one Ben. Very neat looking unit. I think it is time for me to get my one finished. Maybe if I target to get it done for my brothers wedding, it might just happen ..... Quote

peter t Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Nice one, so spill the beans and let us know what you picked it up for or does the other half monitor this site. Quote
C.A.R. Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Lets just say he paid more for it, than I paid for mine Quote
mossy Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Probably a good move with the baby coming Benny, I'm getting a little done on mine at the moment but with a baby its not just the time you don't have its not being able to use air compressors, angle grinders etc, now go and whack a L28 Peter Mc special in there Quote
Lynton Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Geez Benny to think I paid new $7400-00 on the road in October 1975.................................Don't have it now though!! Lynton :'( Quote
