I don't know the car but if the restoration etc has been properly done then it seems like a good buy.

That one has been for sale for a few months now.

I haven't seen it in the flesh but if it was not riddled with rust under a nice paint job, I would say that it is a pretty good buy for someone in the market for a complete zed.

Damn the my105 car also sold. Sold for $17K. Apparantly had no rust other than a couple of bubbles that were cleaned up before paint.



Looks like that car is in Adelaide now, destined for tarmac rallies.

Ive got "Missinglinks" 240Z here now with a fresh 302w with all the Good gear in it and the Arizona Z Track pac. Should be fun.

Does that have an R200 diff fitted?

[Supashake]

Yes.

Another one... there are already a heap of rally 240/260's in Adelaide.
Probably enough to start their own class

I think that might be due to the "Hall effect"!

Ok cunts I now own a fully restored 260z 2 seater

[MRMOPARMAN]

[MZ21]

It's staying exactly the way it is. It's a full bare metal restored car. Engine is perfect gearbox likewise. I won't be touching this thing other than some small touch ups in some places. More pic to come later. Deposit paid coming back down to Canberra to pickup Monday!!!

[Supashake]

Im going to fit one of these into a Z.

Here it is:

The only things I will change are the bumpers, back to chrome (owner had them painted when car was re sprayed) and the rear tail lights back to the chrome outline. Luckily I have a spare set included that I will get brought back to new and re fitted.

Holy fuck that went for 20k!? I should have kept my Z....

[MZ21]

nah paid a bit less than 20K. It was the owners project for the last 10 years and it fucking shows. He's basically retired or almost retired and just wanted if out of the garage as three cars two spaces, and getting harder for the old guy to get in and out of the thing.

The way worked it out (or justified to myself) was basically a shitter with rust etc isn't going to go for less than $5K. So by the time you get it stripped, rust repaired, painted, interior redone, engine etc, the project would be easily getting up around $15-6K. Pay a little bit more and drive the thing next weekend instead of next year. The only immediate thing needed is two rear tyres and he has given me a very generous adjustment for the "hassle" of organising that myself.

For comparison the red one above went for $17K

Also another white one in Sydney (240z) similar condition to this one was on carsales for $22K and was sold. I didn't get a chance to ask the owner what the sale price was as he was in hurry and couldn't talk for too long.
