zzzzed Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 He lives not far from me. It actualy quite clean all cosmetics are reversible. It would be well worth that money if a Nissan Datsun motor was dropped back in it Quote
Fairlady Z Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 That z is embarasment for SA. That thing has been for sale longer than that orange on ebay for 36k. At least the ebY one is nice this thing needs eyes on windscreen a dorsal fin, tail and we have some wierd whale shark thing. 5k at most as it will take constant puking to remove that engine and body mods.

Moderators Zedman240® Posted March 20, 2013 Moderators Posted March 20, 2013 Whale shark thing...lol Should paint some teeth on the side like an old WW2 P51 Mustang Quote
zzzzed Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Yes it is ugly but it's all bolt on so cod be removed this thing is rely clean and would be easy to make look normal again. Quote
Fairlady Z Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Long lost brother to that thing for sale Whale shark thing...lol Should paint some teeth on the side like an old WW2 P51 Mustang Quote
Fairlady Z Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Sorry Mick he needs to remove the "1" Infront of his price to be able to make it worth while. 16.5k for a holden red powered whale shark is bit too exy. If was normal z would be sold looong time ago for that price if was so clean Quote
zzzzed Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I know how much has actualy gone in to this car. To stick a Datsun motor back in it would be chicken feed. Then change the front guards and grill and you would have a very nice car. I don't think you could build one from scratch for to this standard for that price unless you do all the work your self. Maybe not 16k maybe 10 but 5k is a little bit low. Quote
Fairlady Z Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 5k for punishment lol yeah 10K i can see it. if he has pics of the work on the chassis. Is the delete properly deleted or plastered? the rest of the car look ok beside that front treatment and stupid motor. i guess 2-3K to sink in it may be good car. Quote
dazzed Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Just found these pics from 2005. Wonder if it ever got much past this, the thread just died after 2 pages. could this 240z on you tube possibly be it , just punch in 240z GT 240 road trip part 3, Quote
zzzzed Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 I think I read that it's on a Lexus chassis. Looks like it wold have fit a 2+2 better Quote
Mr Camouflage Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Nope. I concur. not the same car, the gaffa tape wonder above has a chopped roof. The GT240 one is this car: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2978513/1971-datsun-240z/ Quote

Six_Shooter Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 In comparison to many of the others examples in this thread that thing is a beauty. It's only transgression is that air dam thing and odd choice of colour combo. Quote
d3c0y Posted November 27, 2013 Author Posted November 27, 2013 I'll agree in the fact that it would be salvageable and you could turn it into a tough looking car if you bought it. There are a lot of styling queues that would be changed very quickly if it was mine. Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted November 28, 2013 Moderators Posted November 28, 2013 What offset are those rear wheels? -150 ? Imagine the stress on the stub axle? Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted March 7, 2014 Moderators Posted March 7, 2014 I really hope the rear has been tubbed and those wheels are just to move it around.... Quote
Mr Camouflage Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Ummm, http://www.9tro.com/features/tuned-cars/datsun-240z-3-5-california-dreamin What I dont like about it: Front looks reminds me of a Daihatsu Copen Rear tail light mod Rear bumper and flares 350z dashboard and emblems Auto Rear view mirrors Aluminium hole plate under the bonnet Electric supercharger Quote
