Administrators gav240z Posted May 8, 2016 Author Administrators Posted May 8, 2016 Has anyone checked this one out? Surprising that hasn't old yet. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/14901-solid-240z-260z-2-seater/ If it's the same car...he says WA but the plates on the car are NSW so not sure if it's the same car. Don't want a rust bucket project and the clean green 260 auto in WA isn't quite so clean. Honestly if the green car is solid it looks like a very reasonable buy and price. Quote
ScottyB Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 price drop helps...but does have rust coming through in a few areas that require glass coming out etc (I got additional photos). no idea to the extent though - so figured paying more for something already fixed/manual was the g-o.. oldmates260z 1 Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted May 9, 2016 Author Administrators Posted May 9, 2016 1973 Datsun 240z - Matching Numbers.http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/111990528223Current bid:AU $1,575.00Time left: Time left: 6d 04h (15 May, 2016 18:22:28 AEST)Item location: Ballina, New South Wales, AustraliaI'm pretty sure it's Curtis 240z advertising it. For auction is this 1973 Datsun 240z matching numbers car. The car was originally brown with tan interior and was bought for a donor car but considering it is matching numbers and the price of a restored 240z increasing in value it would be worth saving. The dash is complete and most of the engine compartment is there, the motor is a bare block and I was told it needed rings. Most of the interior is there but will all need an overhaul. The doors are rusty along with the floors, roof which had a sunroof and there is rust in the firewall and the battery tray where they commonly go. The tailgate has been replaced with a fibreglass one. This car is not for the faint hearted but is still fixable.Please note the gearbox pictured does not come with the car but will be sold with another gearbox. Quote

Administrators gav240z Posted May 16, 2016 Author Administrators Posted May 16, 2016 It did sell in the end. So either someone is going to restore it or it will be used for parts. I suspect parts, but cannot be sure. Quote
Justyy Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 hey all not sure if its been posted here had a quick look and didnt see it, Please view this ad: Datsun 260z, http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/cockatoo/cars-vans-utes/datsun-260z/1112497671 has anyone looked at it? seriously considering buying it, anyone got any pointers? Datsun 260z 2+2 1977 It runs but in need of a restoration it has rust in the usual 260z spots but nothing that cant be fixed. It has the original and mathing numbers, and will come with original service booklet Quote

Yeah run . Judging by the amount of rust you can see in the ad and fact that it looks like it's been outside a long time and the weather in which it is likely been subjected to, it looks like a parts car. It can be tempting to jump on a cheap car, but in the long run you'll save so much more money buying a car like this: http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/1924-cars-for-sale-3rd-party-sites-ebay-carsales-etc/?p=177607 (White 260z 2+2 above) and you'll be able to enjoy it immediately. Unless you're looking for a project and to develop rust repair skills? $26,000 is cheap considering what it would cost to restore the black rust bucket. Quote
Justyy Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 yeah im not looking for something to jump into to be honest want something i can restore with my old man keep him busy in his retirement... in saying that neither of us have experience in rust repair but we have both worked on mechanical stuff before... any idea what rust would cost to repair on the black parts bucket? Quote

I would guess $15k for body work alone (no paint)...but you would be far better off starting with a better car like I said. When metal on these cars becomes pitted from rust it also gets very thin making repair hard work. Buying a car like this would make sense if you found a similar year 260z 2+2 shell with minimal structural rust but it didn't come with many parts. You would use the parts off the black car to complete another. As much as I would like to save all of them, you also have to be realistic and start with the best candidate. Buy the best car you can afford and start from there. It's far less frustrating also. Quote
Cozza Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 I would say it is just as the number plates state. Let Mother Nature take it to its grave. Quote
Justyy Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 thanks for the tips and putting it in to a more realistic option before i did something stupid... so that ones out.. saves me going from nsw to vic too Quote
Herb Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 ... so many of these rusty bodies for sale lately.. I would actually like to see how much car was left after the sand blaster has taken to them. Quote
Iceberg Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 thanks for the tips and putting it in to a more realistic option before i did something stupid... so that ones out.. saves me going from nsw to vic too Do not do it. As Gav said, start with a cleaner base. In the long run it is cheaper to buy finished car tho but not as fun, unless you are really handy with tools that is. Me and my step brother have a complete 2+2 that is way better than the one you are looking at and a mint shell to suit. PM me. I might be able to convince my step brother to part with them. Quote
