DATSUN 260Z 2+2 Auto 1975 This stunning low kilometre sports car is in very good original condition. We have owned this car since 1977. Original 162 horse-power motor with twin carburettors. Uses standard 91 octane petrol. Genuine low kilometres guaranteed. (142,500) Seats have brand new upholstery. No accidents, all panels are original. This is a good collectable car, that would suit a buyer looking for an original 260Z. Please note - I don't TEXT. $15,000 I'd say this would be a good buy for those looking to get a 2+2. Chances are it hasn't been messed about with and not hiding too much under the paint work. Of course no guarantee's but generally speaking when someone has owned a car this long they have taken care of it and don't do cheap bog and flog jobs. I kind of like the pinstriping down the side, the interior re-trim not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators gav240z Posted August 29, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hello I have been following this forum for the last month since I decided to buy my first zcar and had settled on a 260z 2+2, so this looks perfect. Any advice for a rookie on things to look out for with this car? Thanks BNE If you have been following for a while you've probably got some idea of what rust looks like and where it's common on these cars. The value in these cars is often in the body so check all the common spots for rust. The mechanical stuff isn't too difficult. However with the 2+2s some trim items are hard to find and expensive now like door cards and I don't know of anyone offering re-skin's for the rear seats of a 2+2 yet. So keep those things in mind.

AndBir Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) 1976 260z 2+2 : $3,6000 : Apparently SOLD http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/jimboomba/cars-vans-utes/1976-datsun-260z-coupe/1122832853 OFFERS OVER $3600 considered car is complete runs drives, this car would be a perfect restoration project for someone who wants one of these cars everything is there apart from original radio and the air con compressor is gone there is minimum rust easy repairs the paint is average and could use a freshen up but if someone wanted to buy and just register paint and panel would pass roadworthy, interior is ok but top of rear seat stuffed from sun damage,brakes need attention but just a master cylinder I think, has been off the road for over 6 years been parked in the shed collecting dust, we all know that these cars are getting harder to find they are a true classic and will only keep going up in price.

AndBir Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Another 2+2 in Qld : $15,000 The reason (genuine) that I am sadly selling this fine example of a 260Z 2+2 is that I have three cars and sadly, I am not utilising this car as much as it should be. http://www.zcarclubq.org.au/1976-datsun-260z-22-for-sale/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatoKid Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Nice....but really..... for that kind of money little things like bumpers with holes and no rubbers??? I would be expecting flawless at first glance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBR Jeff Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I'm with you Dave, it's nice but it's missing a few things that you would expect for that price to be fitted. Mind you the photos or lack of do not help in assessing the car. I often wonder what people are thinking (or hiding) when they place an add with a photo colection like this!

Disagree, have you tried restoring said vehicle for under $60k to that level? Not to mention initial purchase price... I know of a couple of good 260z 2 seaters that have sold for more than $50k and 1 wasn't recently...(in fact maybe 10 years back now). richard260 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav I have no disagreement that the owner may have spent the asking price and possibly more. I just don't think there is a large audience willing to part with 78 big ones for an S30 let alone 260. If it were an early girl in full patina with 8000 miles on the clock and no resto I might start to humour the 78k price tag. Just my 2 bob. Will be interesting to watch the sale though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74zzz Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Gav I could spend 70k restoring an xd falcon it doesn't mean I'll get it. As cozza said the market dictates prices and as far as I have seen it hasn't been close to 78k. Maybe if it was a series 1 240. Nice restoration by the looks but he's having a laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
