Cahoon520 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Should I buy this? He wants $1000 Is it worth that? He has all the parts for it. It was running when it was dismantled. He says that he has disk brakes from a 280z that will bolt up with caliper adapters???? He has a new rebuilt radiator for and the rear window also. It needs a windshield, are the available? http://lethbridge.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-classic-cars-1967-Datsun-411-W0QQAdIdZ471827179 / Quote Link to comment

I am not afraid of the work involved,yes I have tools and space....Take a look at my build thread for my truck. I am just not sure of the availability of parts like the windshield.

wayno Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 You like the ones with small engine compartments, don't ya. :lol: Why did the guy dismantle it in the first place? That's a lot of money for a basket case, but I almost paid more than that for a 320 myself, but I got control of my urge and don't regret it, yet. Quote Link to comment

He was building it with his son but the son lost interest. Quote Link to comment

danfiveten Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I wouldn't pay a dime over 500 for that, ive bought 2 411's that were WAY better shape than that for under that price. Quote Link to comment

Find out from other Ratsuners who have this car and see what is hard to get...good luck. Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Good luck even finding a windshield LOL Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 id throw out an 800$ offer if he was willing to throw in the rotisserie and the tent. im not sure why you guys are saying its in bad shape, the metal seems to look pretty solid, its just a dismantled car. Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 411's ride on a Roadster frame, so I highly doubt that Z struts will work. Quote Link to comment
gcmustang Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 411's do not ride on a roadster frame, they are a uni-body construction all their own. 1 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 411's ride on a Roadster frame, so I highly doubt that Z struts will work. 411s are unibody cars. They don't have frames! Struts are out, conventional double wishbone up front and straight convential Hotchiss rear axle. Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 ^ ^ correct they are uni-body Quote Link to comment

I don't think anybody said it's in bad shape. What I heard the majority say is that we don't think it's worth $1000, which is exactly what you just said. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 411s, not affected by the Leno effect. Quote Link to comment

"you guys" was probably a poor choice of words looking back, i was referring to wayno when he called it a basket case. Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 i would buy it...but thats me, what would you do with it? build to drive daily? resto.? ratty? Quote Link to comment
goes2fast Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 If you like it, offer $750, and have fun! If you look long enough, you will find a windshield. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 ^ doubt that, i know people searching for windows for YEARS and still not found shit. Quote Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Too much dough for a basket case IMO But it's a Datsun so.. Quote Link to comment

As for the windshield, I have found, if you look hard enough, eventually you will find what you want, or someone that can make it for you. Quote Link to comment
