Ken & Mary in West LA

Unless, of course, you go to Checker's, which has driveups on both sides of the car

Or....you back through the drive thru so that you are on the "normal side"

I have not checked lately so you may be correct. However I still say the guy is dreaming to get that much for it.

Oh don't get me wrong I agree about the price... a bit steep...

I see 3.0L L28 GT and GTX KNMs go for sale around 900000 to 1500000yen in Japan pretty often, add $1000 or so to ship to Long Beach and you'd still save some money by going over there to get one yourself & it'd be the exact color your heart yearns for...

It makes me wish I could go back there and find another one and bring it back.

This model, or the export version of it, was sold in Australia and elswhere around the pacific as a Datsun 240K, probably to align it with the earlier released and popular Datsun 240Z (you guys have heard of them..right?). My daily driver is a 1975 4 door version of the same car. You may have noticed the Datsun 240K discussion forum on this site? ... well this sorta car is what we are all about.

'73-'79 Skyline, Datsun 240K, basically all the same thing under C110 code.

Not rare in Japan? Not in their day, but certainly now any car of this age is rare in Japan.

They weren't rare in Australia either......

This one is pretty pricey, but it has most of the correct GTR bits on, and done well (dont know about hte white flres though!). Wouldn't be too sure of the '74 date as I thought the centre roof console came in on the GTX models in '75. The car looks to be very straight though, and nothing missing... For someone without connections to Japan, it could be the way to go.

Alfadog...I agree that any car that old is rare now in Japan but that is just the way the Japanese have always done their vehicles. (at least for the time I was living there anyway)

I would love to have another older Skyline again and finding one that was already here in the US would be a huge advantage but not for that kind of money. I don't think the GT-R's ever had molded on flares. All the ones I saw were the bolt on style.

Just curious, but why if it's right hand drive does it have a mirror on the left fender ?

Also comes with those crappy flat top emmission carbs which most owners of 260's here in the UK have long since thrown away.

[Alfadog]

Because it's meant to have one on the right too!
