the 240 is a cult classic car

not many older people look at the car with admiration, especially with the bad rep we get from people like the original post (nasty vert)
I'll agree with you Right now your totally right the auctions support that wave of old American muscle cars... and yes the 240 does have a cult following...

But these same people whom have this Cult following for the 240SX today are going to be the people buying the cars at the auctions in the future... They admire them more then they admire the Current muscle cars... I could have bought a decent camaro and had a project car if I wanted one but I chose the 240SX I like the styling and handling of the little bugger...

And yes we as 240SX owners get a bad rep from all these Riced out rides, but showing one like i have has also set me apart and given me a little bit of respect from the same Muscle car class...I've seen it at shows some of these older guys whom are into the muscle cars don't even go over and look at the newer riced out rides, but at the same time they do come up to me and start asking me questions about my ride... It intrigues them that I took a car that so many rice out and tried to make it a nice classic ride...

See I don't know about that, but at the same time a completely stock 240SX is a blank canvass, how much would you pay for a blank canvass in excellent shape to work with, if your taking that angle...

But the cars that really are bringing the money right now at the auctions are the Unmodified all original cars with matching numbers and without engine swaps...

That maybe because of the generation of people buying the car... But since not every ones tastes are the same a completely stock one would give someone an opportunity to modify it to their taste like they do now...

My idea is just about everyone is going to mod them out and to find a Stock one is going to be one of the rarest feats of all, its proving true to form so far, so for the sake of the history of the 240SX ill leave mine with light changeable modifications...

Since You Can't Grasp What I Meant By That, Let Me Explain My "Childish" Response.

I Don't Think Beckley Wisconsin Would Be A Place You Find A Large Number Of Import Loving People, In Comparison To Ca, Fl, Tx, Ga...

Not Saying They Don't Exist, But They Are Harder To Find.

When A Stock Vert Is Taking 1st Place Trophies. Kinda Tells You Something About The Competition/Local Rides.

Still To Childish For You To Understand?

congrats that you won an "x" amount of trophies for your "stock" vert in boofoo WV...good for you...dude, if i entered my kouki in a car show, i guarantee you, i wouldn't win anything, not because my kouki (which is more rare than your vert and will be the only desirable 240 in the future if at all) isn't nice and not clean and has low miles, but because it just can't compete with the competition here in chicago

I should drive down to your town, i would clean house at every show all the time.

Stop thinking your vert is teh hottest **** in the world and whatever moron pays you 25k for that deserves to lose his money and i hope he crashes it first thing.

I got my kouki cause i love it, i'm never selling it, one day i'm gonna give it to my children so they can enjoy it, not try and make a quick buck off it.

Dittoz hes in West Virginia, Dude, you cant tell me that a factory 240sx is a damn sports car, if you want a factory sports car go ride in a corvette, viper, gt500, supra, something that is actually sporty, not a 150hp 240sx...

Agreed. 99% of the people on here bought their 240(s) to customize to their needs, wants, or likes. Some like to drift, some like to grip, a few like to show, and some just like to play. We all waste money on our cars to do what we love. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and some people just have really bad taste, like the "silvia tribute" or those chrome "rims" on that clean a$$ red vert. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion that is why we're on here. So there is no need for people to get their panties in a wad when they're offended when they ask for somebody's opinion.

Good day.

Yo dude,

I'm the guy who listed this. I am smart enough to know it is NOT a Silvia. Do Silvia's start at $2500? Duh! This is what is says it is, and by the way, I DID reply to you, and if it's not your taste, ...I'm OK with it!, dont bid! ... and I see alot of other folks feel the same way. It is a cheesie conversion, but that is why it is cheap. I dont know why I am posting this, (other than now I am bored), but once you find that TRUE Silvia for $2000, you need to buy it! I think you would have made a great deal!

SO....good luck to ya!
