C110 Or C130?

[R34]

If i was looking for a long term project car which would be a better prospect to import from Japan.

Been looking for a 240k for ages but nothing seems to ever come up for sale in aust.

So as I have a contact in Japan was considering getting a C110 but if I could find a C130 Laurel that could be a good alternative as they'd be rare here in Aust (if any at all)

So which would make the better collectible?

PS anyone know of a 240k coupe for sale?

adzmax has a rolling shell for sale, includes alot of spares including a floorpan

im pretty sure that a guy at all-jap auto parts here in brissy owns one of the c30 sedans. when i spoke to him, he was fairly convinced it was the only one in AUS.

i was interested in importing a c210 or c130 as well, both seem quite hard to come across at the auctions and when they do they get snapped up fast.

what rough quotes were you given for a c130 landed in aus?

Now don't that look just yummo! That looks nearly nice enough to eat.

I would happily trade my 210 for C130 anyday. Personally I reckon they are sweet, nice curves, back end looks tough and they've got a lot of that 70s' Yankeeness to them. I actually thought it was a Yankee muscle car when I first laid eyes on it in Yahoo Cars. Prices aren't cheap though, I think the one I saw was about 30g and that wasn't delivered price.

it wouldn't matter if they were made in china i'd go c130 if cash wasn't a problem

C130 Butaketsu (cops butt) Coupe all the way.

You must have a bit of money though.

C130 later model may have a 2.8L 6 cylinder L series which would be awesome for Targa. Plus they came with IRS.

C110 coupe second to this.

Or just settle for a 510 coupe.

(how's that for a thread revival?? )

How'd you go getting one in by the way?

C130 quite expensive for what they are but they look pretty great and would be extremely rare here in Aus. I have not heard of a single one. For a PROJECT CAR, it will be quite difficult as parts are expensive and will all have to be purchased from Japan.

C110 you would only really want to import a very nice one I reckon, as you can essentially buy the same car here in the guise of a 240k and go from there.

C110 is the sensible choice out of hte two options you have given!
