Looks like the chandelier couldn't come up with the money. You rarely make as much the second time.

Given the sudden interest in Japanese cars, I have a feeling we'll see a Nissan or Datsun in some form or another at Amelia.
. . . yet, LOL. I'd add that having owned both Ferrari and Jag marques, I feel there are plenty of pedestrian and simply "not-good" models in both marques, but even those are generally held in...
Just based on my experiences buying, selling, and following the classic car market - for all cars that are not individually known for winning a race, or some other historic achievement, when it comes...
There was a time under the old classifieds that I could get notified via email when someone posted something in the 240Z parts section. That was rather handy, as it pushed the content to my phone. ...
With respect to the Z432 at a US auction- we will know soon enough what one will bring. We'll see one within a year, I'd venture to say.
One thing I'd like to say about the Cosmo specifically...
C10 GTR vs Z432, from a pure price perspective: We were having this conversation last night, and for what it's worth, here's what we thought: (With the caveat that no one knows for sure) the...
I saw this car in person at the show, and although it was not identical to some original designs, I personally thought the final product presented was an improvement, stylistically. The curved 3/4...
Congratulations Kats an a most deserving award!
Factory air was available in the 1969-73 RHD Z-L models as an option, but i've only ever seen 2 installations, so it must not have been a very common option. I'd imagine it'd be straightforward to...
There was a factory-installed unit available for JDM (and other non-US countries? Anyone know?) which was made by Hitachi which can be retrofitted to US cars, although I've personally never seen it...
Great find! Congratulations!
I was planning on bringing my car and already registered, but now I'll only be able to attend the car show as a spectator either on Thursday or Saturday. Any recommendations as to what will be at...
Kats,
This is great news. Just the kind of book that needs to be translated into English- something with some real stories and facts. Anyone in the group have any thoughts about how to help make...
Kats,
I am looking forward to seeing you and your Z432 in San Diego! There are now several more Z432s in the country, but yours is still one of the nicest, and it's sure to be a big hit.
Hard to tell from the photos provided, but it looks like there's a formed indent on the front cross-member for the hood rod, which would not be consistent with an early chassis, I'd venture to say. ...
I have collected several copies over the years - it's an excellent resource for restoration fanatics, and helps distinguish part numbers based on model numbers. For example, it will show part numbers...
Glad to see someone picked it up. Enjoy restoring it!
I was the previous buyer. I can confirm that I'm unable to pick up the car given constraints that I was unaware of at the time I agreed to the purchase. The deal checks out, and its a good one. I'm...
The 240ZG with the L24 might be worth close to the asking price if it's factory. The other's seem a little rich, but they're worth what someone will pay for them.
Rocky also has a top C10 GTR...
The biggest issue with that knob for me is that it although it may be Nissan, it is clearly not a period knob - the original knobs were much narrower. A period knob recently went for $400 on Yahoo...
Marin Concours is hosting a "Japanese Manufacture to 1985" class this year. It's a judged class, one of the first I've seen. This is a pretty big show, so I'm happy to see that they are judging the...
They trade in a razor thin market. I've actually yet to meet anyone who is actively seeking a Z40
Alan, great analogy on the 911S vs R. Also, the Homologation write up is much appreciated, and helps put some context to the overall picture. Can you additionally clarify the point when Nissan...
Nice info, Alan. Since all the tubs were built in at once (which makes a lot of sense to do), and 20 or so were sold, I wonder if perhaps some unused tubs are out there hidden away somewhere?...
