whats that price in american?

[Alfadog]

AWESOME!

About 13,000 USD.

A bit much... but if you're looking for a car like that I'm not sure you'd find anything much better in Australia...

[That Ozzy Guy]

Hmmm. A Canberra car. I bet it's got no rust at all. It's good to see something like this on the market.

That is one of the LAST of the 240Z's to arrive in AUS - the engine number is 4000 higher than my car; which was complianced in Aug '73.

Very nice, and I bet he get's the $$$ too.

[Mr Camouflage]

Thought you ware selling your z for a second Hayden.

Nice number plate.

[halz]

That just over $13k in USD (wait a few months and it'll be less!)

No, but I might contact the owner and see if he can let me have a set of photos. That car would appear to make good yardstick for my restoration...

[240 in OZ]

It is understood that the car is not originally from Canberra.

[seerex]

is the paint code the same for ausie and us cars?

[halz]

Yep

That 240Z is very immaculate, and apparently "original" (not restored).

I phoned the owner (or "ex-owner") today (16 Dec 2003) and had a chat with him. Would you believe he sold TWO pristine condition 240Z's!! The green one (shown in the ad above) and a blue "Fairlady".

DETAILS:

The green 240Z had 47,000 original miles on the clock, and sold for the asking price (AU$18,000).

The other one was a ONE OWNER blue 240Z, with 96,000 kms (approx. 59,000 miles) on the clock, and also sold for the asking price (AU$20,000). Mileage was completely documented too!

He has TWO MORE in his garage:

A red 240Z with black interior, with 23,000 original miles; and

A silver 240Z with black interior, with only 14,000 miles! And it's a ONE OWNER vehicle!!

All 240's are/were apparently 1973 models.

I can't believe it - I chatted to this guy for 20 minutes. He's in the car industry, so comes across these "pearls" every now and then. But all four 240Z's were/are completely original, low mileage, and in perfect condition.

(*oh, and he also has a white 1975 two-seater 260Z!)
