$6800 offers classified ad

normally when shannons quote 5-8k range it means the reserve is 8k

ha i offered 8k 12 months ago and they turned me down stating the coupe was not for sale...too bad...

Pretty much that it didn't hit reserve..

Looked stunning yes but still had a few ripples and who knows what has been hidden under that shiny paint? How much bog?

At least with a original paint job you know what you are getting, warts and all..

Also reading the vehicle report it needs a bit of work mechanically/electrically, maybe not that much considering it is a 40 year old Datsun but still, if you want top dollar you fix those things..

passed in means that it had a reserve of somewhere between 5,000 and 8,000 but did not sell

What does "passed in on" indicate?

i thought it would have fetched 5k easily

cant see how it not being painted could make it worth more though,
it looked stunning

This was passed in on the expected price range of $5-8k..

It would have probably been worth more in comepletely original condition rather than re-sprayed??

Had a look at this today. Is sitting at outside the Exhibition centre at the Melb motor show.

Has had a recent respray, looks pretty straight but who knows under the paint. The glass hadn't been removed for the paint (at leaast not the rear) and missing the LH rear quarter badge.

Interior is a bit scruffy in some areas but still better than 90% of cars that age (just not as tidy as mine ).
