Price drop 4K eh????

That mean your now looking for about $8000.00 now?????????

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I think you should take the 2K offer because that's about what it's worth.

The condition of the paint work makes it a BARE METAL RESPRAY and they are expensive, if it's going to be brought back to it's former self. 5K Plus for this, not to mention the replacement cost of the necessary panels & the lower front skirt which is only available ex Japan.

I purchased my Paul Newman version coupe for $5000.00 and it is in very near perfect condition and many streets & blocks ahead of this car you're trying to sell. I also bought a genuine DR30 coupe in lots better condition than yours for $3400.00, so I still say your dreaming thinking of anything near the figure you expect.

I also know of the 2 other Paul Newman cars in Oz & I could buy both of them for less than $8000.00 each and they need absolutely ZERO work to be done to them, as they are now in excellent condition and what's more "THEY ARE RARE".

Don't listen to MAG86, he's just blowing wind up your ass, import or not, your car needs a LOT of TLC and other than the L20ET motor, it's just another R30 sedan which are a dime a dozen.

You might be well advised to take any offer around $2000.00 before you're calling SIMS to come and take it away for free.

Cheers, D

the price is $4k total.... much more money has been spent on this car and the only thing it needs is a paint job. - so if you spend $3-4k on paint you'd have an exceptional car for less than $10k

Note to Ghostrider: F off you old tool! you got a good deal on your paul newman and that would have probably been around the same time i bought mine nearly 8 years ago so get over your self.....

no RWC

but i can tell you what it would need...

washer bottle for wipers (i took it out when i move the air filter but still have the water pump/motor and hoses)

remote swich for the horn (the boss kit for the wheel doesn't meet the brass pin for the horn)

rear demister switch (it burnt out)

new fuse for the hazard lights (burnt out the other week i think)

don't have the time to run around to wreckers to grab those things at the moment but all would be easy to find and put in yourself

Just a question and a free bump... Your gallery pics include:

pretty much original except for whelding up the stock bleed value and putting a damn loud blitz BOV on

Can it get a roadworthy with welded bleed valve, BOV and pod filter?

cheers,

factory bleed valve was faulty and would have cracked the mainfold to remove and refit a new one and the air filter is semi inclosed and can easily be turned into a full contained box if need be

if i got a RWC would you consider making an offer..

car is obviously fully complied, and has current registration in vic. When i changed over the plates from QLD to VIC all vic roads wanted was the chassis/vin numbers and the rego was simply changed over.

not sure what the rules are in vic but i would have thought someone could just have the rego and ownership changed into their name and all would be apples.

Hi Dave,

There are two ways to change ownership..

1. Transfer the rego and ownership with a valid RWC. The RWC has to be done by a licensed tester. Sometimes the seller pays for the RWC or the buyer might agree to pay for it.

2. You hand in the plates (and maybe get a refund on part of the reg) and sell it unregistered. The new owner has to then get the car re-registered which requires an inspection. Not sure if Vic Roads has to see the car or if they'll accept a RWC.

cheers,

an inspection was needed if i didn't have the vin/chassis number handy. It was thought to have the FJ20 motor in it due to a f**k up when it was originally imported... It was thought that a 2.0 badge on the boot meant FJ not L20 so you may be able to slide an FJ in there with minimal hassles.. The original owner in Brisbane who imported tried to have it changed but no joy and back then four bangers were cheaper to rego so he gave up... Same thing happened to me when i first had it insured it was on Shannons books as an FJ same as rego and no one wanted to change it so meh...

I'm sure i'll be able to get my hands on an RWC if you'd like that easy of mind for a rego/ownership transfer

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
