So many Z's, of all numerologies, have popped up that I thought it might be good to collect them here.  Feel free to add old or new stuff.  There's a bunch out there right now, for some reason.

By the way, for those following HS30 00004 auction link is:

Wondering what owners thought were responsible reserves?    Opinions?

  hs30-00060 reached $66,000 American $$

I believe HS30 00060 sold for over $100,000 AUD (not sure on exact figure).

I believe HS30 00004 sold for $186,000 AUD + 9.9% auction fee. So around $204,000 AUD.

Both vehicles passed in at auction, but sold not long after in post auction negotiation.

Considering the economy over here right now I think this a positive result overall. Especially because neither car was 'perfect'. HS30 00004 in particular will hopefully be taken further by the next owner in terms of 'restoration'.

Sadly though I believe HS30 00004 will leave the state of Victoria for the first time in it's life. It's been registered here since new and now may go up to NSW/QLD - not 100% sure who the new owner is or their plans. But wish them all the best with it and hope they take good care of it.

    Thank you for that information Gavin, the auction site, or what I could see showed “passed”…..     Roughly $130,000 US dollars…not too shabby.

   Would be cool to check out the horn dates on HS30-00004.

     Seems the horns are pretty darn accurate to production date, and aren’t generally swapped out as easily as other body parts/features

It would be good, but unfortunately I don't have direct access to the car. Never really did, I was able to see it in person briefly about 2 years ago.

I did ask for pictures of the horn contact plate, but the photo was not clear enough and the date stamp not easy to read a date from.

I agree it's probably a good reference point (with others around the car).

The glove box had no markings on it fyi. Which I thought interesting. Given that my other AU market cars all had scribble on the underside of them.

While it will be sad to see HS30 00004 loose her original plates of KNL-127 at least she is staying in Australia.

If I was the owner I'd keep the plates reserved under my name for possible use again later.

"1978-1983 Datsun 280ZX ($32,800). Sold in its native Japan as the curiously-named Fairlady, the Z sports car helped establish Datsun (now Nissan) in the U.S. for its comely styling and aggressive nature. As it became more of a softer grand touring model than a flat-out sports car by the late 1970’s, purists have instead focused their bank accounts on earlier models. That helps make Zs from this model-year range a far more-affordable proposition, especially to younger collectors. Turbocharged versions are especially desirable. Though their values have risen by 138% over the last half-decade, Hagerty believes there’s still an opportunity for growth."

Odd thing happened. About Christmas the daily Bring A Trailer email notifications of things I was interested and/or following suddenly stopped. I went to the site, checked all the settings and found nothing had changed.

Then this weekend I started getting notifications again. 
 

Weird.

 

Edited January 28Jan 28 by Racer X

Last weekend i got a warning from bring a trailer that there are fals emails .. i did nothing the last 5 years with bat so i threw it away.. maybe they have a lot of problems with fake mails and stuff..

I'm not sure if this ad should be here, or in the boobs thread, Lol. Looks quite nice.
