motavated Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 10$ + shipping on the cleaner one. 15$ + shipping on the dirtier one "better condition". 20$ for both + shipping. Link to comment
HP11 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Not trying to burst your bubble but are you trying to say that those are something special? I never thought so. I've picked those up from time to time at the junkyards over the years and must have at least 30 of them. These two I've attached are harder to find. The 'elephant' cap without the word 'OIL' on it or the cap that just says 'OIL" are likely worth something but I don't think the ones you pictured are. Link to comment
fisch Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I never knew there was a difference! I was psyched I just got an elephant with 'oil' in an engine I bought. Thanks for clearing that up! Link to comment
motavated Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) I had 5 but recently people have been wanting them soooo. They are for sale. Plus I need the money badddddd. Seroiusly? The oil ones are worth more/more rare? I see them and just leave them there... I thought they were aftermarket. The other I have never seen. JDM? I'm cheaper than this guy. http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=12380&highlight=oil+cap Seriously I need the money so just give me an offer. Edited June 8, 2009 by Motavated Link to comment
HP11 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I didn't know there was such a market for them. And I'm not trying to spoil that for you. I've always had them. I hope they sell and I'll look into selling mine. The one that just says 'OIL' was the early 1970 240Z oil cap, first four or five months of production from what I understand. I don't know where the other one came from but it's genuine Nissan since Elephant was their brand back in the day. Link to comment
motavated Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Nah, I understand. I would of done the sammmmmme thing. I was like WTF? Are you kidding me? I find these oil caps everywhere. You wont sell that for 20$. WTF, you sold it! Are they that rare?!?!??!? So I'm just trying to sell two for 20$ and not one. I don't need them.

That's ATF but they did have their own brand of lubricants so named after some dazzling successes in the East African Rally. http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=Elephant Link to comment

Cuts metal like mad Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 they also fit KA's Link to comment
vindats1 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Weird, I have the Datsun junk yard at my place and I have never seen an oil cap like these...but then I only do the 60's and early 70's Datsuns. Anyone having any unique caps that will fit the E1 or 1300 or 1600 cc engines, let me know...I will buy one. I found one from the early MGBT's was on one of my cars...it is really neat too. Scalloped edges with names of different oil manufacturers printed on it. Cute. No, they aren't just oil caps. They are cool stuff. Link to comment
pl521sss Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 This oil cap is rare Link to comment
