rturbo 930 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1974-Ferrari-Other-Datsun-/182401959014?forcerrptr=true&hash=item2a78010466:g:9jsAAOSwux5YNopm&item=182401959014 Might be a good start for someone here looking to build one. I don't know about the price, 10k and reserve not met, but then again, prices on classic cars have been shooting up, so maybe it's worth that. No idea. Found this funny Properly fixed/restored, worth 40K-800K & up ... 3 last listings with prices attached. Last 4 photos are stock/taken on-line. One of his references looks more like an exact(?) replica, not a Datsun with a body kit. $800k? Yeah right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Davis Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 There is an incredibly accurate 250 GTO replica in my area. It may be available....let me know if interested, can send lots of pics/info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Davis Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 It's based on very solid 1978. It wasn't build as a "look at me" car, rather a tribute to a car that is beyond what most of us mere mortals could ever hope to afford. Details are the best I've ever seen on any Datsun based replica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy from Oz Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Most interested. Could you post the details and photos on the "250 GTO Owners" thread. Thanks. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/50042-250-gto-owners-thread/page-60 Edited January 3, 2017 by Boy from Oz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Davis Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hi, I'm kind of new to this site. Can you help guide me to that thread? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy from Oz Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) Lee. The link in my post will take you there, but the path is; Forums - FAQs - Body Kits & Paint - 250 GTO Owners Thread Looking forward to your posts. Not certain but you may have to have a minimum number of posts before you can attach images, e.g. 5 posts.???

Lee Davis Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hi, It's Lee with the GTO. It appears your are correct...I can't seem to attach pictures. Let's communicate via this thread first,if only to make sure this is a car that would interest you. Be forewarned...this is a serious tribute to the original....unlike most of the Datsun based GTO's. What questions might you have? Thx, Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Davis Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Looks like you are correct about the images. Let's make sure this is a car for you....it's a VERY accurate tribute to the GTO, unlike most of the Datsun based one's I've see. Just shoot me some general questions and I'll respond. Thx, Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy from Oz Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) It is somewhat odd you can post in the 'Garage' but not elsewhere, however... Is it a production kit , and if so, which one? Has it been modified? Have you stretched the wheelbase? What engine and drivetrain are you using?

Lee Davis Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 It started as an original Alfa factory built, so the basic kit was done correctly with great fit and finish. Over time, the car has evolved to the level it is today....there are so many upgrades only images can do it justice. I'll try again to shoot a few off ASAP Engine is a pro built 280Z and has a reliable 300HP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Davis Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 You are correct....named by Joe Alphabet. Guess I had Italian cars on my mind Do you have any thoughts as to why I can't post images? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy from Oz Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I note your post count is '0', that may have something to do with you not being able to post images?. Try posting on the 250 GTO thread and using the "More Reply Option". Ensure the files are not too large. If you have no luck ask someone under 14 years old, they'll sort it out straightaway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Davis Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Where will I find the "More Reply Option" on the 250 GTO thread. My old eyes can't find it! Also, I'm trying to change my email from my office to home with no success. It says the home address "already exists", but the office one is the one where all the emails are received and sent from. Any thoughts on that one too? Sorry to be a pain, but there's no 14 year olds around here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 I'm guessing you're using the quick reply box to post - that's the one that's at the bottom of each thread. If you look to the right of the 'Post' button, you'll see the 'More Reply Options' button. From there you can attach your files, using the tools just below the text box. I'm not sure what's going on with your email. Which email shows up in the email and password form? This link should take you there if you can't find it: http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=core&area=email That's the form you will need to use to change your email. My gut feeling is that you are trying something different. If you try to re-register on a forum, it will usually tell you that your email address is already in use. Hope that helps. Let us know if you're still having trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Davis Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Testing images, Here's a shot of the GTO taken at a classic sports car event. Can send more soon, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fauxre Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hi Lee, Glad to see some pics posted. Unfortunately, all I can see are the small thumbnails. When I click an image, all I get is a white square and a spinning icon... but it could just be my internet. It's extremely slow out here in the boonies. Anyone else having this issue, or is it just me? Did you solve your email address issue. The link provided two posts above should take you directly to the right page. If for some reason it doesn't, scroll to the top of this page and click on your screen name. The drop down menu will have My Settings listed.

Fauxre Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) ... Might be a good start for someone here looking to build one. I don't know about the price, 10k and reserve not met, but then again, prices on classic cars have been shooting up, so maybe it's worth that. No idea... Pretty rough for $10k, in my opinion. However, unmounted body kits are starting around $6500 to these days. Sooooo, I guess $10k isn't out of the question. I certainly wouldn't exceed that, though.

rturbo 930 Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Yeah, I don't know about the price. Mind you, that's 10k, and reserve not met, so the price he expects to get is even higher. A few years ago I would have laughed, but with prices going up, it might be worth it. I haven't been keeping up. But it's supply and demand. For someone that wants one, a 250 GTO body conversion already partly or mostly completed could be worth some coin, since they aren't exactly common. As for pricing, a few years ago I was seeing fairly nice, unrestored series 1 cars listed for around $16-18k. Nice original cars that needed a bit of work, but generally in good shape. Right now there is a nice series 1 240z with a BIN of $25,600, a modified RB20 swapped 240z for $20k, and finally a white, so-called 72 240z with SBC for $30k. Look closely and you'll see it's a late 280z that even has a 280Z VIN, not sure what's up with that. Given all that, 10k almost seems reasonable.

Lee Davis Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Here's a few really lousy shots I took in the garage with my iphone of the exterior. More to follow of interior and engine. Let me know how they turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
