I agree, looking at your car it is reasonably priced.
But the reason I didnt buy a finished or unfinished project is because I wanted to mod the car how I wanted, try and learn more about cars as the car progressed and also to get the satsifaction when it was done.
I think thats why "finished" cars dont fetch bugga all cash.

Good reason to never finish it sneezy lol. Make it ever evolving. There's always something you want to make better lol. Not always needs to be faster just more to your liking.

Thats it, there is always something to buy

I paid 4 for a rolling shell 1200 coupe but has a full cam spec cage, coilovers, and LSD and all other Bolton's were new but it was Fs for a while and was well wort it for me!

Dedicated race car and prepped like one. Worth it to a race car person.

aud 6100, 12bids,6days 14 hours to go!! Dead stock ute apparently 10.000km!one owner deceased estate.try getting a coupe in similar condition...

whats the difference between a one owner car or a 10 owner car?lol a more detailed vehicle history.whats been done to car etc .No offence meant by using term "old" but generally,the old folk take better and more care of their cars than young folk.but thats my opinion from my exp.

sure it may be neat and stuff but without some back story of it coming out of nissan museum how could you believe 10,000kms

only a complete nuffy would advertise a 1200 and try to use the km's (miles) the speedo reads as a selling point

the modern day equivalent is buying a suzuki swift (cheap, crappy econo box) no wait its a ute, a proton jumbuck? and stashing it away thinking it would be collectable

10,000kms in 30yrs.... seriously..... you would beleive that on a Lambo/R8/McLaren F1 in thirty years, but not a jumbuck

[edit] says it has logbooks with service history...lol....thats gonna be a short read, when was the first service interval on a 1200?

even if it had 30000 or 40000k's what ever the k's, knowing its condition just by looking at pics, 7000-8000 should pull it up

Dat51k - i just looked at your carsales advert, that is a wicked sedan and i love it, but to be perfectly honest (and i have no intention of upsetting you) those black wheels.... they look cheap, nasty, tacky, they are dragging that thing down massively, and they feature as the focal point in nearly every photo you have taken. They dont suit the build of the rest of the car and i just couldn't get my head around liking the car with those wheels

I honestly believe they alone are going to drag your sale price down

[edit] by the way i also think the same of my own car...

sometimes i think a day will come when 120y's are sought after more than the 1200s

the 120y has reputation, and everyone on the street - non car enthusiasts have heard of the 120Y (even if all they know is it's ugly )but not many car enthusiasts even know the 1200

so in the same way a terrible car like the beetle or mini can become collectable/classic, i can see the same for the 120Y
