I recall this one sticking around on ebay for a while maybe 18 months or so ago and sold for somewhere in the $4k range?

To me that makes a rebuild worth it. I was getting 84rwkw from an old L24 with a cam and an exhaust. For a fresh L28 you'll get 110rwkw+ and it'll make a huge difference with a lightened flywheel. You'll love it. There's a certain charm about a bone stock zed, but if it's not the original motor you might as well go for it. I love my L28 with triples (I also love my original zed, but it's a different kind of love :P) For a cheap alternative, make sure your diff ratio is fun enough, and if you have a WR box, go to CR and get your flywheel lightened. Will add 30% fun for not much cash at all.

So what was the result?

They are! I think around $700usd plus post for good quality repros.

Get your car dyno'd so you understand how much there is to be gained. That'll give you some perspective for... $150??

Is that a Z432 on display? Any more pictures of it?

Price drop to $1250

Yep, definitely the same car. Has changed hands without much advertising in SA both times. Had the same owner for many years (barn stored, inland) south of Adelaide, before selling in about 2016 to another local, who on sold it after a year or so of ownership (for genuine reasons). I didn't know where it went until seeing the ad. Worst case has been in a coastal location for ~2 years.

This is the third owner this car has had in 4 years. I recall it looking very tidy when on show at a Datsun meet about 3 years ago.

Bump

Calipers confirmed sold. Other items still available (bump!)

Price drop $1400

Absolute bargain for factory correct carbs (and the pick of the lot performance wise!)

Will be interesting to see the auction result - can't see a heavily modified (but stock running gear) LHD example achieving anywhere near that asking price...
