Wanted To Buy, Qld: Classic Skyline Project!

[RustInPieces]

Hey guys, first off im sincerly sorry if there is a specific WTB section but anyway.

I am chasing a Skyline as mentioned above in "project" condition so something that might need work done to it but not something that has gone to far with rust! I dont mind Rust aslong as its not to extensive or hidden by bog (the worst type).

HR31 - coupe

DR30 - coupe (mabey sedan)

C210/11 - coupe or sedan

240K - coupe or sedan

And although not a Skyline a later model 260C (ones with "notched" rear doors)

Current offer is $2500 max but this is subjected to change and will be update accordingly, I do understand the rarity but then again im not looking for something in show room or original condition im just chasing a good, honest base for a project.

thanks!

For that money there are some lovely 240/260C's on ebay at the moment well within budget. 240ks are going for crazy money - far more than $2,500 for a project. C210/c211 are hard to find, but not crazily priced if you get lucky.

I don't know about the modern stuff you mention.

[RustInPieces]

yea, never really expected to get a 240K for that money but i guess you never know...

[coupe72001]

5 years back $2,500 would have bought a mint 240k.

Scarcity + demand = bummer.

[RustInPieces]

Yea i think that was the case with alot of older cars...

Anyone got a time machine?

I have his details if you want them, the car is actually back together now also.

just less engine

[RustInPieces]

Just seen the owner lists as being in SE Melbourne... that could be a problem.... Considering last year i had to give up on a 260z because i could get it from Mackay to Roma QLD (were i live).

hmm bummer! got excited to!

[mastadd]

Hmmm,

bummer,

is that because no one will ship up there?

[coupe72001]

If you include shipping from Vic etc, with a $2500 budget that doesn't leave a lot of car! You really get punished for shipping non-drivers, as you need a flatbed rather than a car carrier.

Ceva logistics were the best I dealt with from memory.

[RustInPieces]

Well yea shipping cost and well i would like to see it with my own eyes before i had over cash... Especially after I bought a VJ valiant ute with the discription of being only a few rust whole,vwas a 15hr trip up and back with a shitty trailer only to find the next day it had a half inch and in some spots a inch thick shell of bog with alot of bad structral (?) rust...

Paid $1600 re-sold it for $750 3 weeks later, couldnt stand looking at it... So I'm really iffy with older cars now.

[RustInPieces]

$3000 budget now and in 2 weeks i get tax money

[RustInPieces]

$5000 budget!
