my mate picked up the new trading post yesterday at 6am. he was looking through it and i asked him if there was any 1978 datsun skylines in there (stab in the dark lol) and he said there was one! a C210 sedan in yellow for $300 with a bloody 5 speed. something i am desperate for! i called them at like 7:30am and had to leave a message. didnt get a call back last night.

called today at lunch time and the car had been sold. CCCCCRRRRRAAAAAPPPPP!!!!!! (my reaction was a little more colorful than that hehe)

i need a manual conversion friggin ASAP!

[madbung]

Ouch..you lose!

Bloody hell. For $300 I would have snapped that up in a second. There is a beat up c210 at centre road springvale, no motor no box no seats, and they want $650! Faaaaark. You just dont find $200 Skylines anymore.

I can probably help you with a manual conversion though. Im in Melb if that's any use to you.

doesnt matter where you are bro. if you could help me at all that would be stella!

p.s. yea it was my plan to snap it up immediately. dang it. i guess ringing 1 hour after the paper was released just isnt quick enough!

as for the $650 rolling shell... it would wanna have stove-tops for that price!!

when i bought the coupe I had the guy said he had a guy said he wanted to fight him over the phone. when we rocked up from the bank getting money he had put a sign up saying 'skyline is sold' cause peopel kept turning up wanting to look at it.

and now i want another one.

There's one for sale over here in the west ,2 door auto, gold in colour. It's in the quokka on line under skylines. Been there for a while and can't remember how much . 1500 I think. If it was manual It'd be gone by now

The ad went online on tuesday, I knew I should have called as soon as I saw it

The seller said that guy that bought it is going to do it up and use it in some sort of rally

Going a little of the topic, but apparently 2 Victorians found a cheap C210 sedan a couple of months ago and entered it in the Red Centre to Gold coast trial this year. They came fourth. Banzai!
