KEN & MARY GT-R-KPGC110 replica

[MR 240K]

Through a good friend of mine, I found out about a GENUINE one owner 1973 Datsun 240K GL 2 door coupe in white with only 51,000k’s on the clock and the history to prove it! This will be the perfect basis for a GT-R-KPGC110 replica, most commonly referred to as "Ken & Mary". Until the car arrives from QLD, this is the only picture I have

I searched high and low for the right car; I have been all over the country trying to find the “right one”. I almost gave up hope until I found this car. I am a very meticulous person and although it won’t be a fast build, I can assure you that it will definitely be a quality one! The car has never had an accident and never had any repairs done which is what drew me in. It’s not museum quality but it is a well maintained 240k with a genuine history and I believe that it is the perfect starting point for a GTR rebuild. The owner, who is now 91, bought the car brand new in 1973 from Nissan and has done a fantastic job keeping it in such good condition. He was sincerely distraught when he was signing over the papers but I assured him that I’d give it a good home.

Here’s a picture that I took while I was in QLD finalising payment and paper work.

The car will be picked up tomorrow by the logistics company and should be here on Friday. The plan is to enjoy it a little before I take it off the road for a full restoration.

Congratulations on such a good find and welcome to the club.

It seems like you have a top example of a 240K, is it auto or manual?

There's lots of guys on this site doing G.T.R clones, myself included.

Maybe your car is a little too good to convert into a G.T.R, it seems a shame to cut the "sail lines" on the back for

flares, but at the end of the day it's up to you. Good Luck and remember to post plenty of photos as we would

all be interested to see.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the positive comments. I will take a heap of photo's when it arrives from QLD (it just got picked up). It's currently auto, but i'd love to convert it to a manual. As for the GTR clone, the car is very clean and it'd be a shame to see it go down that path but at the same time, it's one of my dream cars so i'm kinda divided on what to do. I'm not going to be rushing into anything and as I said, I want to enjoy it a little before I take it off the road for a full resto, so I still have plenty of time to make a decision.

Cheers

Tip does not change the thing,

If you want one to Convert to GTR, that is a good solid base let me know because i would be very keen to swap (With Cash Your way) a good car thats not to good to cut up for a great car that is to good to cut up.

I have been looking for a mint stocker to keep that way for some time.

And have some GTR tail lights i can throw in as part of the deal....

any way good luck and have a think about the above!

Hi Mastadd240K,

I appreciate the offer but I had been trying to find a good clean original 240K and luckily I’ve found it. I will be keeping it as it’s one of my dream cars, just undecided on what direction I’m going to take with this car (GTR MOCK or restoration), I won't be selling anytime soon but if I do, I’ll be sure to keep you in mind. I wouldn’t be interested in a trade because I know that I’ve got one of the best examples there is and my OCD won’t allow me to have anything else but the best. I’ll keep you all updated when it arrives and of any progress.

Cheers
