Hi all,

Yes, yes...I know, join the queue...as per my post on ozdat and other forums, I'm looking for a Datsun 240K Hardtop (cooler) or the right Sedan (more practical - but I really want the coupe), as close to original condition as possible.

Can't afford an immaculate resto (several years searching, haven't seen one advertised anyway), definitely don't want a project, a good daily runner is the target. Prefer a South Australia car, but send me a PM and let me know where you are (in Australia), what you've got and what price.

Cheers,

Duane

thanks guys.

yes, i was really lucky.

here's one of the photos the old owner sent me, i'll upload more once it gets here.

Awesome, its always good to hear of another one being restored.

degruch, there's a pretty bad condition coupe for sale in SA at the moment

that thing doesnt look good at all

It's not well.

Thanks Declan, but I definitely don't need another project, really looking for a car I can jump in and drive immediately...that's been the issue. Projects aren't difficult to find...I think there's a few of us on here who remember when you could get a 240K for a slab of beer, most of them were run into the ground.

It's a roller coaster ride, but after being forced to press the little Bellett GT into daily service, I reckon I'm looking for a daily again...it would be nice if I could combine my search for a C110 hardtop with the need for daily transport.

I've been kindly offered a few projects on here over the years, but looking for a decent runner ~$6k-ish (yeah, yeah, I know there's plenty of gold diggers on eBay that want half that for a rusty shell, but the neat white one from QLD that sold for $6k a little while back is the benchmark)...anyone has one they'd like to move to a loving home, please feel free to PM me.

Cheers,

Duane

Still looking, will go a sedan if anyone has a suitable daily driver (i.e. no projects) to part with. Optimistic, yes, but if you don't ask...
