Gary in NJ 2 Report post Posted June 22, 2010 The 240K Wagon is not my cup of tea. The Cider-Z is just off-the-hook cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goose52 16 Report post Posted June 22, 2010 Not to be confused with the 240Z wagon...I missed this thread the first time around. As soon as I saw the thread title of "240 Wagon" I thought of the Cider Z. I too still have that copy of Peterson's Complete Book of the Datsun © 1975 - as well as another one © 1977....

esprist 12 Report post Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Not to be confused with the 240Z wagon... Wow I never knew this custom car existed! I sincerely understand how this gentleman went through difficult time managing body line and side window height and curve. It is not easy. I never thought of putting rear-end from another car, since Mr. Matsuo's order was that the car must be recognized as"Z car" from rear view. And this one looks like a combination of Mr. Yoshida's 2 seater wagon design and Mr. Matsuo's 4 seater wagon design and I like it. Where is this car now? Around when was this car built? Very curious!

Goose52 16 Report post Posted August 30, 2015 Where is this car now? Around when was this car built? Very curious! The Cider Z article was published in 1975 and the car that was modified was a 1972 Z so the wagon version was built sometime between 1972 and 1975. I haven't seen any other mention of that car in the last 40 years. Perhaps one of the board members has seen it at a car show sometime over the years...

hr369 113 Report post Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) So what prices do these fetch in japan? This one had a buy it now price of 21,000 usd but he had no bids. This particular one came with a G18 4 cylinder engine. So its not a rocket ship. https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ja&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fpage16.auctions.yahoo.co.jp%2Fjp%2Fauction%2Fu82152157&edit-text=&act=url I'de rather have this xke No morticians license required to own one of these beauties.

Bonzi Lon 29 Report post Posted September 2, 2015 For those that are unfamilar with the Jaguar XKE Wagon above: It was a custom made prop for the quirkie cult film "Harold and Maude", staring Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon. One of Ruth Gordon's finest performances. Its on my top 10 list. Bonzi Lon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
