not selling at this stage would be hard to replace , have owned a lot of collectable cars & this car is by far the best original car i have seen & hard to put a dollar value on it .

Hang on to what you have, i own 3 of them, in 2008 i was offered $20.000 for my coupe by a Kuwaite man

who came to Melbourne.

Thats what shannons have insured my coupe for, with no questions asked. its a JDM Import.

He offered $8.000 for my white 4 door sedan and $10.000 For my burgundy 4 door sedan, my cars are restored.

Im hoping to get enough posts so i can show them on this site.

Cheers

Ive sold my fair share of c210/c211 skylines to buyers in kuwait, including several 240k's,

and one imaculate 1973 coupe.

Never again, i dont like what those cars get put through over there.

At least i have photos of them before i sold them, even my garage was over full with parts, 210/211 Parts

its all gone there, and now we struggle here and fight among ourselves to find bits here.

I was offered to buy a c211 coupe in 1981 it was for sale for $10.750 and had only 14.000km on the clock.

it was silver with grey trim, manual efi c2 options, an excecutive driven car from Nissan Australia.

Im still kicking myself 29 years later.

Cheers.

A guy had this very low km C210 brown coupe on eBay a few months ago out west of Syd. I went to inspect it and was stunned at how immaculate she was. I only bidded to 9k and it sold for a little over 10k. I kicked myself for not buying it on the spot when I was there.

I own 3 of them, one of them a JDM, and hanging on to them. at the time in 1981, $10.750 was a heck of a lot of money, if i asked my dad to chip in

he would of shot me!!

looking back today well the sad reality comes to foe,

Look mate i know how it feels. Unfortunatlly it will hurt for many years to come.

These cars in kuwait are worth a fortune, c210/c211 and especially the 240k, also the 280zx series 1 with no "T'' roof.

Its seems other there they know what a great cars they are, and look for them all over the world.

And will pay big bucks too.

Cheers.

HI THERE i brought that actual car & have traveled about 800 kms . as you say its condition is amazing , it would be the best original car i have seen & owned . what i like about it to it needs no work , i have been through quite a few restorations & been really disappointed with the work / time taken for work carried out & to top it of they rip you off

it is the best car i have owned for a very small investment .

Well done Mick for getting that car. She's certainly a beauty and no doubt will appreciate over time if kept in that condition.

[DAS KAMU]

whats with saudis wanting these?

whats the modus?

hi there when you say big bucks / what would a 1977 mint c210 coupe be worth in unrestored condition

Approx: $8.000.00 to $9.500.00 they need to convert it to lhd, but knowing them they will try

to barter, and get the best price possible.

My suggestion is to keep what you have, and enjoy it and what it appreciate in value.

Remember once its gone its gone forever!!

A true classic, Congratulations beautiful looking car mate, this is what we need to keep here and not end up being thrashed

and belted through the gears in Kuwait, enjoy your c210 make sure you get old with it.

make sure it doesnt end up there. the saudis dont care about these cars the Kuwait people want them,

They source them around the world.

Its good to see young kids into these cars, i remember when they were new.

the early 1977 c210 skyline compliance plate had "DATSUN 240K COUPE"'stamped on the plate, in early 1978 they changed it to

"'DATSUN SKYLINE COUPE'"

Some came off the ship without Vin no;s and were registered only with engine nos: how things have changed.

Cheers.

A family friend owned a BEAUTIFUL mint green C210 sedan, and I'd always said that I wanted to know if/when they were thinking of selling it so I could grab it. It had two lots of carpets on the floor, seat covers, and just about everything else needed to keep it in good condition. No-one in the family smoked, so I knew there'd be no surprises with burn marks here, there and everywhere. It was an auto but not that I was worried, I would either have made it a street sleeper with new engine/gearbox combo, or kept it as-is as an original car in incredible condition.

Unfortunately it was sold without my knowing.
