[FilipeA]

Hi

One of my searches in Yahoo Japan, I found this Fairladay 432 on sale and I have 2 questions, how much is that in USD and is that worth that kind of money?

Thanks

5,000,000.00 JPY = 46,405.87 USD according to http://www.xe.com

It certainly does not seem to be in very good condition from the three pictures provided. Perhaps someone who can read the complete ad will be able to let us know what we're missing.

hmm, it seems that for the price you're buying a VIN, most of the value has been leached out of that car already...

Note that the seller won't ship internationally.

From my loose grasp of things it seems like the engine and transmission are missing... (but it does seem to come with an owner's manual )

The Prince 2000GT is nice. $25,000 sounds ball park - But I really do have not a clue.

Me thinks the 432 is a waste - for 50K, I'd want the S20 and the FS5C71A in place and the R190 too. That hardware is Really to hard to obtain to make a restoration feasible without it.

It says the current bid is 1,561,000 JPY. Wouldn't that be more like $15,000 USD?

Yes, more like $15k instead of $25k. $15k seems to be ballpark compared to what other S54B Prince Skylines are advertised for, although I've seen some asking in the low 20s.

I wonder what the VIN of that car is?

Not much info about the car on that page and clicking around didn't help much.
