Have you ever wondered how much the old Datsun that you used to drive would be worth today ?
I wonder how many people in Australia have gone back in time to remember the old Datto that they used to drive. Probably not many actually, as that was a piece of the past.
That said, and with the massive Classic Car Boom that Australia now seems to be experiencing, some people are looking back in time, and clearly want to re-live this time. Some examples of prices on today's Carsales.com.au may suprise a few people, particularly as these cars were quite often part of growing up in Australia, for those that did not drive a Holden or Ford. Here a few examples, from the 45 cars listed :
1973 Restored Datsun 240Z AU$75,000
1966 Datsun Fairlady AU$32,000
1970 Datsun 1600 AU$30,000
1976 Datsun 260Z AU$29,850
1978 Datsun 200B AU$18,000
1975 Datsun 1200 Ute AU$17,500
1964 Restored Datsun 1200 Ute AU$14,500
1977 Datsun 280C AU$12,500
Now last week there were 56 cars listed, and we have been in contact with the owners of the 11 cars that are now not listed. Of the 11 cars that are gone from Carsales.com.au, 8 were sold for the full asking price, and 1 was sold for $1,000 less. One of the other cars is under offer, and the remaining car is being kept by the owner until it rises further.
All in all, a great story for Australia, as well as for the proud new owners of some of Australia's heritage, who now go on to re-live those days. Maybe join our Buying Group to get involved now..........
