yellazed Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Still, at around US$2K buy-it-now it would be a good investment. Simple resto compared to Mull's! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/DATSUN-240Z_W0QQitemZ190166982436QQihZ009QQcategoryZ102220QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 how the hell do you park a car and forget about it......I have 806.......and it is still strong..... I was thinking about that...its a shame, sounds like me may have gone through something catastrophic like a Divorce and maybe really railed his life...either way very sad. My take, if I was going through that, getting back into my car would be a great mental distraction...but thats just me. he said there are not many younger than his... none just all the 70+ lol guess he meant older. Good catch! i see the only bidder is a***a. wonder if it's anyone we know? I wondering the same thing...mind you Aziza is in CA where these cars are abundance in much better condition, plus Aziza has a 280ZX he just picked up?

Metallicar Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I must confess, it was me bidding on 909. I bid the opening bid of $250.00 before the seller put up pictures. I was relieved someone out bid me in the last 10 minutes of the auction and got it for $255.00 It's funny that the bidders names did not show up, since he had no reserve. The ebay rule is if the reserve is more than a certain dollar amount, the bidders names are private. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombarace14 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I think they changed it I recived an email from ebay talking about new policys. Im pretty sure I saw something about the privacy changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwik240z Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Yes. They were having problems with other people offering to sell items to the listed bidders outside of eBay. Like they weren't making enough money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If im interested enough in something that doesn't have a picture, i will ask the seller for a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIKWEAR002 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 so i guess mine is 303 of 72 then? since thats what my vin ends in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 so i guess mine is 303 of 72 then? since thats what my vin ends in anything after the "s30" part of the VIN is the car's serial number. They went from zero, in order, from 1970 to 1978.. in 79 it became the S130. If your VIN plate actually says 303 and not 20303 or 15303 or something else like that, then its not a 1972 VIN plate. unless I am sadly mis-shapen???

Carl Beck Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 anything after the "s30" part of the VIN is the car's serial number. They went from zero, in order, from 1970 to 1978.. in 79 it became the S130. Hi Guys: Actually the Left Hand Drive, Datsun 240Z's aka "HLS30" - VIN numbers started with the pre-production cars at HLS30 00001, however the first production car sold to the public, according to Nissan, was HLS30 00013. From 1969 into 1973 the VIN's on the Datsun 240Z's ran in order, within sequential blocks assigned from the same series. For example the 1972 Model Year 240Z VINs end around HLS30 100xxx, but then Nissan started the VIN sequence at HLS30 120xxx for the 1973 Model Year cars, skipping just less than 20,000 numbers in the series... that series ended around HLS30 172xxx The 1974, Datsun 260Z's had "RLS30" as their designation... and so started their VIN sequence at RLS30 00001. With the introduction of the Datsun 280Z for 1975... Nissan switched back to using the "H" to designate the new L28 for the North American market. However they started the VIN sequence for the 1975 Model Year 280Z at HLS30 200002, thus skipping about 25K numbers in the series where it dropped off with the 73 Model Year 240-Z's... If your VIN plate actually says 303 and not 20303 or 15303 or something else like that, then its not a 1972 VIN plate. unless I am sadly mis-shapen??? According to Nissan - the VIN's for the 1972 Model Year HLS30 240-Z's started at HLS30 46000, however according to the cars we've inspected the earliest 72's here started with HLS30 43496...08/71 build date. Just some VIN trivia... FWIW, Carl B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
