madkaw Posted July 19, 2017 Share #1 Posted July 19, 2017 "So honey , I bought another Z today" instant response ," you've got to be fu@£NIH kidding me " anyone else have this conversation-lol Anyway, didn't see this one coming but it's landed in my lap. # 4858 , 5/70 build date. Still not even to my house yet and I've spent a total of 15 minutes looking at it. Too many unknowns to answer anything specific , but it's definetly fixable . Actually in pretty decent shape- respective of its age. Update this when I get it home . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSM Posted July 19, 2017 Share #3 Posted July 19, 2017 Every time I buy one there is always some kind of remark. I look at it this way, if you got for a price where you can simply flip it the way it sits and make money, who cares. It's an investment. The cars I lose money on are the daily drivers, not Z's. That is my approach for the hobby. To me I get a kick out of the buying selling and working on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted July 20, 2017 Share #4 Posted July 20, 2017 My wife is always encouraging me to buy Z cars! I am very fortunate for that... of course she knows I am emotionally attached to my Z cars 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87mj Posted July 20, 2017 Share #5 Posted July 20, 2017 I think I saw that poor thing....craigslist? Indiana somewhere. Right? I'm up by Fort Wayne. I think it was calling my name. Always exciting getting another Datsun. Good luck! Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfa.series1 Posted July 20, 2017 Share #6 Posted July 20, 2017 Its a far better purchase than this mess in Houston: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-Datsun-Z-Series-/222586197679?hash=item33d32bd6af:g:KVEAAOSwn~ZZbpyE&vxp=mtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkaw Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted July 20, 2017 My wife is cool- I have 3 rollers now so she is getting numb to this. She also knows I've never lost $ on these deals . ESPECIALLY after acquiring the diesel Maxima Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warty Posted July 20, 2017 Share #9 Posted July 20, 2017 What kind of abuse do you need to give a car to get a rusty STEERING wheel?? On the plus side the Datsun emblem glued to the air cleaner box might be metal and worth something to a 1970 restorer. But back to 4858: looks like fun!
