1971 GT-R for sale

[jtrading]

I have a 1971 GT-R for sale. The car is in Japan but I have pictures I can send. There should be no problem importing to USA because of its age.

For a real Hakosuka GT-R? I find that hard to believe considering what the market for them here is.

Here's an example of one on Yahoo! Auctions with a starting price of about $95K with the current exchange rate.

Here's another one for about $111K.

If someone is selling a REAL Hakosuka GT-R for $40k, then they are taking one hell of a loss on a classic icon.

Don't send, post them please. I would like to see more info about who you are and what company, if any, you represent. Thank you.

To the guy that said $40K, not even close.

Yen rate is about 90-1, do the math.

It's SO nice having experts on staff.

Now, let's see those pics.

So, OP, you just a scammer?

I'll give you $6,000 USD for it. CASH.

$40,000 can not buy clean hakosuka. If you know the market in Japan $40,000 is not even close the price range.
Many GT-R owners know who has which GT-R in which location and what kind of condition.
If you are really interested in this car, I would set up with he seller privately to show this car.

Then make it happen.

I live in Japan. I want to see this car in person to make sure it's not some scam. I own a GT-R myself. Hakosuka Skylines are my absolute favorite model, but which I cannot afford at this point in my life.

I live near Tokyo. Tell the owner of this car I want to see it.

[totsubo]

Oh crap. Looks like I was schooled.

When I was looking for a few to import I saw some for $40,000. Perhaps those were conversions.

I also saw some for around $100,000 but did not take those too seriously. I guess between $60,000 to $110,000 is the going rate.

I hate it when I am wrong

You guys that live in Tokyo, Kanagawa and Chiba, sometimes I envy you guys. I could never afford to live in any of those areas.

Well, it's not us you are talking about, then.

TMS lives on an island south of me. I live between Tokyo and Chiba in Saitama prefecture. Yashio city. But, I am close to both Tokyo and Chiba. I can be in either place in less than 20 minutes.


And don't worry about being schooled. It's how we learn. We make a mistake, we learn from it and remember it for next time.

[jtrading]

if you want to see the car, send me an email. I will set it up showing the car.

Oh well. Way more than I would ever want to pay for one. Guess when I decide on getting a classic it will be American Muscle.

[themadscientist]

To put it in perspective, the Hakosuka is not just any Japanese classic. Short of something like a 2000GT this is THE classic. Think numbers-matching COPO Camaro, or a Yenko car; something of that pedigree. You would pay similar astronomical prices for one of those rare gems. My Skyline is like an old Nova or something.

If you don't have to have an actual GT-R, you can pick up a GC10 2000GT for around $25k-$40k. Still a bit on the high side for a car of that age, but considering it's the roots of the Skyline under the Nissan name, it's well worth the investment.

Speaking of 2000GTs. I was out a few weeks ago cruising the C1 and hit up Shibaura PA, just after crossing Rainbow Bridge, and there were about 4 MINT Toyota 2000GT cars down there. A friend of mine got pictures, but I haven't seen them yet.

All this talk of skylines and 2000GTs made me think of this..

Interesting comparison. I guess "value" is in the eye of the beholder because I would never pay astronomical prices for an old muscle car, or this car. They are interesting - but not THAT interesting (to me).

Very good point. I have always had to remind people selling things that an item's value is based on what someone will pay for it.

I think I just peed my pants after seeing that a Yugo Cabrio has had a bid over the reserve of $10K. WOWZERS!

It's also a car that has limited collector value in the US. Run a restored one through Barrett-Jackson and it would get nowhere near the Japan price (IMO).
