i have found a Datsun 240z in my grandads garage and he wants to scrap it but i said it might be worth something...

anyone got an opinion on this?

 

Great car, loved them in their day and considered buying one not long ago!

Not sure of the value, obviously depending on condition, but even if it is repairable it will be worth keeping / selling.

Check out www.autotrader.co.uk

There's a top notch 260 for 2,500 so offer to take it off his hands for fifty quid!

 

They are collectable, few and far between, good looking, not great perfomers in normal tune but fun and good looking cars, great 70's sport interior, nice layout and design for an old Jap car.

I would look at putting it on the road if not too bad nick, worth money for spares as well if not roadworthy as long as the condition not too bad.

I really like them and i would run one for sure.

There was a Samuri edition of it but i think it was the 260 not 240

I seem to remember coming across a 240/260 BBs sometime ago, worth a search.

It would be a shame to let it go to waste if it is salvageable or could keep another one on the road imho.

 

it was grandads pride and joy, not a mark on it just looks very old, even has the original floor mats. its been stored inside and covered up

 

If it was me I'd get it waxed and get it on the road.......

 

Yeah and me, it is a cool classic car as rare as rocking horse poo in the UK!

Be cheap to insure as well, unlikely to get knicked or vandalised either.

If you do not want it and decide to get rid of it i would be interested in it subject to seeing it of course.

 

There are forums other than Non scooby and muppets ya know

 

its a Super Samuri, and its red and white and starts after a while, the battery is fooked i think, shall i tell gramps its an old wreck and worth nothing

 

i know but i chose my favorit forum to ask opinions

 

I'll give you £100 for it

 

lol, higher

 

Muppets?

 

opinions is a bit different to being crucified

 

Legendary cars! Get it snapped up!

 

i thought it was a pile of crap, i am well glad i asked about it, he has two other cars as well

 

You can take us all for a Z spin to say thanks

 

i would kerb the wheels

 

 

luckilly all 4 wheels are flat

 

Go on..................now your gonna tell us that the "other two cars" are a mint RS200, and a nearly mint Metro 6R4.

And of course, all your fans will believe you............

why would i make something up like that?

****

 

"If it was me I'd get it waxed and get it on the road......."

Yeah, but what about the car ?

 

If you need any help with it I'm sure Scoobynet would come to the rescue. Where abouts is the car as I'd love to see it as I wanted to get one for my Dad.

No

 

Get some pics up of it

 

Beautiful car. Check the Z club!

 

Why not be honest with your Grandad. Tell him what it might be worth and he might give it to you anyway.

Yea I agree, you cant rip off your old Grandpa!!

 

i am going to. my grandad stopped driving and it is in the back of the garage on some axel stands. i dont know what, if anything is wrong with it. the steering wheel is missing though and all the tyres are flat i think.
it has been stored for years under loads of blankets and cardboard so it has been dry. i dont ever remember him driving it but he was always in the garage.
i need to make sure my nan doesnt know that i am interested in it, the old fella is a bit senile, so i might work on her a bit
