Good luck mate, a guy passed through about a year and a half ago, buying every c210 he could get his hands on. he started in townsvill he reckoned. and was making his way to adelaide. they were all being shipped to adelaide, stirpped down to shells to save weight and sent to Saudi arabia. true story. he bought my two sight unseen and would have taken the third had i not sent it to scrap the week before(it was crashed)

but seriously, i hope you find one. i really wish i never sold mine.

cheers

Ok damn

I really should have checked out the one at nizz-pro for 1k then.

I've heard of a guy who owned 14 c110's or c210's (can't remember), prob the same dude.

[D-limo]

Just wanted to ask if anyone knows offhand around what % these cars were released as manual?

Where they released with the round and square headlights? Which are more common?

Are they known as a 240k or a skyline?

Are they all IRS?

I'm new to classic skylines so bare with me,

thanks jarryd

think thats the guy ive heard about from more than one person. has a whole heap hoarded and wont sell them. i think hes the owner of that white imported 4 door r30 with bootlid racks and fender mirrors that gets around archerfeild. ive seen a couple of his 110s/210s sitting at a workshop nearby, when i asked about one of them they said to me dont even bother he wont sell them. real shame.

yea i met him once on the highway and we pulled over and had a chat (RANDOM!!!). he has 17 or so i believe. he said he is making them all into replica famous race cars. it's actually pretty damn cool what he's doing.

he seriously had 3 A4 folders full of photos on hand to show me some of his cars and the cars he is going to make replicas of. gave me some great ideas!

The 240k and the C210 are different cars in Australia; however, oddly, I have some advertising material, like this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Datsun-Skyline-240K-...A1%7C240%3A1318

that refer to what we'd call the C210 as a 240k.

In Australia the 240k body shape was from 73-77 (look for a metal grill), the C210 was 78-79 (look for plastic grill with round twin headlights) and the C211 80-81 (plastic grill with square headlights).

At a guess the ratio of C210s to C211s is around 20:1. Auto to manual early skylines are about 50/50.

There are plenty of people (like myself) who have assisted in sending early Skylines to the Middle East, where they have cult status, who have gone on to regret it - as these Skylines have become substantially harder to find in Australia over the last three years. Infuriatingly, large numbers of skylines that didn't make it to Kuwait etc. have been long since sent to scrap metal locally.

Despite all of this, early Skylines still pop up now and then... and happily, they often end up in the hands of enthusiasts, rather than randoms.

not in qld but may be good for you? http://classicskylinesaustralia.com/thefor...php?topic=178.0

Doesn't want it to go to the Middle East, but selling for Middle East prices. يا حمار!

[works 510]

Ive driven past those cars for the last 5 odd years, when I first seen the coupe it was mint, then It dissapeared for awhile now its back at where it resides.

Was always tempted to knock and ask about em, but after seeing the price tag, might give it a miss.

[Silent Shadow]

5k for rusty coupe = snap.....

i got my coupe in primo nick with a boot and car full of parts for 3k.

[mastadd]

Works 510, all i did was stop in and say hi lol now look im trying to sell them for him!

well the guy is keen as to sell the sedan now, give him a call i think it had a/c as well, should be able to get it for $800, he wants the money and room to work on his coupe,

i doubt he will move much on the price of the coupe at the moment, maybe later in the year if it keeps sitting there, its not actually rusty, the bonnet is but he has a replacement, but all the other panels look quite good, and the paint looks original the way the clear is peeling off! lol

as more of these cars get picked up buy guys like us the days of cheep good cars are numbered, he sold the last coupe he had to the middle east, so he knows what they pay i guess he wants about the same.

Can you remember what sort of state the sedan was in? The pics dont really show how rusty she is or what state the interior is in. Always handy to have a spare white skyline with a black interior, when you own... err, a white skyline with a black interior. Cheers

i remember it was too good to wreck. but i have a tuff time wrecking Classics.
