Hi people,

DATSUN 1200 COUPE CA18DET FOR SALE $15,000 ONO

So the time has finally come to part with my little baby.
A bit of back ground information for you all. i bought this car about 6 years ago. it is probably the cleanest stock 1200 i have ever seen. NO RUST. I started the conversion project about 5 years ago and due to travel, work and finances i never had a chance to finish it off. I walk into my garage everyday and see my little 1200 coupe with great potential and a lot of money spent on it, just sitting there collecting dust. if i had the time and motivation i would finish this project off because once it is complete it would have been a great car to drive. unfortunately we need to sell our house and its a bit hard with the car in the garage and spare parts everywhere.

i am looking for a genuine buyer who will finish this car off properly and enjoy owning it.

this car was originally automatic and when i purchased it, it still had plastic on the door trims, log books, and original 56,000miles on the clock. completely stock but it is far from stock at the moment. the paint is original, with original panels. the left hand front guard has had a dent bogged previously. this car has NO RUST. the body is fantastic besides the 1971 paint work which is showing its age.

what i have done -
CA18DET engine conversion using maddat crossmembers
Stumpy skyline 5 speed manual gearbox on a CA18 bell housing, with new exedy sports clutch
Maddat Shortened R31 28 spline. Rebuilt calipers, new wheel bearings, new seals, new U-bolts, new discs, new pads.
180B front struts, hubs and balljoints with R31 brakes
adjustable camber and caster tops
adjustable caster rods
Microtech LT-10s ECU with igniter and hand controller
John Taylor (from pedders) custom lowered and strengthened rear leaf springs
maddat front sway bar
custom large front mount intercooler
Just Jap aluminium radiator
custom large and strong tailshaft
Sparco racing seats
new carpet. trims, dash and all interior in excellent condition
battery in boot
vl turbo fuel pump (needs replacing) with modified fuel tank and new larger steel fuel lines run from front to back
new waterpump, seals, timing belt, hoses through out
stainless stell exhaust manifold with 3inch dump (needs exhaust system)
16inch concept 5 starcorp rims with new tyres.
kenwood cd player with front speakers
brake booster
boost gauge
most parts on this car are brand new as it has only been driven up and down the street 5 times since i put the new engine in

so as you can see, this car has had all the right work done to it and a lot of money spent on it.

what it needs to drive -
exhaust system from dump pipe back
stronger brackets welded on diff to locate on leaf springs (maddat brackets too weak and bent)
fix wiring under dash for ecu and igniter only - i was in the process of rewiring it all and now i have forgotten what needs doing :(
fuel pump
dyno tune
engineers certificate

There is so much more work and money spent on this car but it will take too long to explain it all. come have a look if you want. i am a mechanic and i hate to see this car go as it has taught me a great deal and been a fun and expensive experience. i will not sell it unless i get a descent offer.

thanks

Honestly mate and I'm not trying to be a P#@*k but you wont get $15,000.00 Look at what bugsie is selling for $7000 and its engineered in QLD and NSW and regoed in QLD. Yes its a wagon but there rarer than a coupe.

i know i wont get $15,000 for it. i dont know what its actually worth these days so i just put $15,000.


i will bump it to $10,000 and see if i get any interest.

I think it's worth what someone is willing to pay. If the workmanship is high with the way everything is fitted and the paint is in reasonable/good condition, I'd say its worth it.
There is a monster amount of work in this if you are doing it properly and as a weekend hobby. Buying something at this stage makes it so much easier as its all there in one spot already

Yeah the body looks very clean and a nice conversion Am so tempted at times to just get rid of all i have and buy something like this but knowing me i would still pull it apart and change things anyway. $10,000 as it sits is closer to the mark and again tempting. Free Bump
