4 or 5 "new" Z's

[Weasel73240Z]

Sounds too good to be true.........

When I picked up my car from paint, the guys at the shop told me he knows of a warehouse near my hometown where there are 4 or 5 "new" S30 Z's (2 - 240s, 2 - 260s and 1 - 280). The cars supposedly have NO mileage on them, have never been registered, and they've been up on blocks since new. It does make sense because there was a huge Datsun dealer in the next town over forever, and I hear the warehouse is owned by the same family that owned the dealership. Supposedly there were a total of about 40 cars in the warehouse, including the 5 Z's.

Well, you know the story, the father died, left all the cars to the kids, and now the big sell-off has begun. If they are what he says they are, I can't afford them (at least not all 4 or 5, but I'm hoping to get 1). I've been trying to get in to see the cars for a few days now, no luck. If I ever do get in to see em, I'll report back.

Paul - Take your digital camera and offer to post the cars on "an internationally recognised z web site" (read here) on their behalf...

We have all heard these stories before. Told a little differently, with the names, places and types of vehicles changed. Typical "Urban Legends" for the most part I think. But, if I was in the area I couldn't hold myself back from investigating further. Heck, I'm still up here digging in the perma-frost searching for HLS30 00009 - 00013. If you get in the warehouse, get some good pics and be sure to pinch yourself if the cars are there.:sleep:

For sure you have to do some investigation on this. As Geezer said, likely its an urban legend...but imagine if you're the guy who discovers the Datsun-find of the century!

If that is true, them it`s a dream came true, find a NEW, STOCK and UNREGISTERED 240z it`s a dream. If it was me, and if it`s true I did a research till I find them.

Tomorow morning wake up early, and go for it

Now, THERE is some fodder for a B-J Auction!!!

Lots of these stories are just that, stories, but fact is some of them are true. I'd be spending some time tracking down the facts without a doubt. (I'd really hate to be the one who 'discounted' the story to find out later that it was true.) I'd also be talking to my banker about the possibility of refinancing my home, just in case. I have personally seen two '67 A-H 3000's on blocks, properly preserved, with 3 miles on both of them. I was with the guy when he bought them new back in '67. We got back in touch when he had a problem getting someone to put a value on the one that remains for insurance purposes.... seems there is nothing comparable out there to bounce them up against. It's things like that that keep hope springing eternal.....

Curosity forces me to ask....What would you do with it if you bought one?

Drop a big Chev V8 in it...oh wait...:stupid:

How about drive the snot out of it...anything under $30k and it's a car...have some fun. Maybe buy a second one for the show circuit. Definitely drive the first one though...

That would be incredible if they are real. Any 510's? Keep us posted

I went to the warehouse this weekend (without permission ) and snooped around a little bit. I could see in the front of the building (an office), but the windows are all painted black in the actual warehouse portion (which makes me think it even more likely a true story). Problem is, the warehouse is right on a main road, and its marked with a bunch of No Tresspassing signs. I don't want the owner to catch me there, and blow my chance to actually buy one of them, but the curiosity just overtook me. I'll keep trying to get in to get a look.

I'm sure there are tons of these "urban legends" like this out there, but the guy who told me about them said he knows the family, and personally looked at them, and he doesn't seem like a bullshitter to me. Now, whether or not they are actually "zero miles", never reqistered or not, I don't know, but I'll keep trying to get in to find out.
