Old School GT-R

[rs73]

Believe it or not, they're selling these at 6,000,000 YEN in Japan....

Can't be bothered to convert that to our $ but if R33 GT-R are selling at 2 - 2.5 Yen, then you can imagine how much these thing cost... 3 to choose from

If anyone read the latest HPI, the special issue GT-R... there's some short article about these first GT-Rs.

6 mil yen is about $90,000! Not bad for a 30yr old datsun!

[rs73]

so you reckon our R32/R33 will cost the same in 20 yrs time.... if so better keep em immaculate!

[kabab]

I want one they are ment to be the best handling out of all the lines !!

[Guest ylwgtr]

Yep! My friend has got one of those in japan....its a KGC10..

there worth heaps

[rs73]

damn cool.....

I reckon if u had one of those, u'd probably have it locked up in a garage somewhere n only use it as a weekend cruising.... must be a real collector's thing these days......

[Guest ylwgtr]

yeah thats what they do with them... alot of them in the early days went to the crusher.....so now they are quite rare.There is some GT models that are mock up GTR ...there still worth dough...but no way near as much...

[rs73]

any legendary old cars are deemed to be expensive....

even in Jap they're crazy abt mini morris, expect to pay the same price of a R33 GT-R for one of the old mini in good nick

[Guest ylwgtr]

hmmm dunno about that one dude.......from what i have seen.... the japanese seem to go through stages in regards to old cars...forexample once an S600 honda was worth a mint....then by the time you found one here in aust..tidyed it up and sent it O/S the price had diminished somewhat...... I remember they were goin nutz for type 2 vw's! i mean farkin hell!!!!But the KCG10 will always be the "in" thing

[inark]

theyre so sex for an old car

[Guest ylwgtr]

Look at the 34 and see the resemblance.....its the fkn things grandfather!!!!!!! ......ahh that agressive front...

[inark]

lol which is why i also love the 34

the R34 is based more on the R32 also if u ask me... more agressive styling than the Bulbous 33.. then again its more likely to be just me

[Guest ylwgtr]

Based on the 32???Look at old pops and tell me you cant see the resemblance!!!!!!!!

[inark]

hehe pops..

speaking of which are u coming to the drags this weekend?

[Guest ylwgtr]

not me mate....never been and you will never catch me there...i will be up the hill thrashin the fcuk off my tyres and brakes in the twisties!

[inark]

hehehe if i was confident enough in my driving to do that sort of thing i will... but not unless i at least get some decent tyres

[meggala]

well I have seen a few old datto 1200 go for 15k + in jp but they were gx's with the 1.4 and 5 speed.

serious stuff and the 240 z is really dear.

meggala

[Guest RaTTuS]

yeah a guy here in mildura just sold his datto 1200 ute for $18,000 cash mind you it had a bit more than 18 grand spent on it

I recently did a website for someone who owns 2 Packard Twin-Sixes. One is a 1916 model. The other is a 1934 model.

The 1916 model is valued at approx ~$5,000,000 AUD.

The 1934 model is valued at an even higher $8,000,000 AUD.

The reason the 1934 model is worth more is because it is the only 1934 model left in showroom condition - world-wide.

In October he received a letter from the owner of the Sphinx Casino in Las Vegas (i think thats the name!) --- they do an auction of the worlds most prestigious cars every year and he offered this guy full air-fare, 1st class accom. Meals all paid for etc... transport..... if he would agree to have his 2 Packards auctioned off at his casino with the other cars.

His website is up at www.vintagepackards.com

[rs73]

He really hit a jackpot doesn't he? Gee, awful lotta money to pay for a classic! But I guess these cars will continue appreciate in value coz collectors are after them....
