Update: CSP311 Number 359

January 28th, 2012

This car is now up on ebay for a more reasonable starting price.
I'd estimate that it will sell for between $8000 to $10,000 based on its condition, and the sale prices of other CSP311's in similar condition.

Bye Bye Super 6

October 15th, 2011

The Super 6 has just driven away on the back of a trailer. The new owner, Dean is going to fix it up and turn it into a weekend cruiser.

Unfortunately circumstances never allowed me to do anything to it. It's time for me to sell off the other cars and get back to the 3 cars I originally intended to restore. Though, when I'll be able to start on them I don't know. They are looking like retirement projects, and that's a long way off.

At least I saved it from going to the crusher. Hopefully Dean will get it up and running.

CSP311 Number 359

August 28th, 2011

Late June 2011 CSP311 number 70359 poped up for sale on www.ozdat.com

Its no longer listed, so unknown whether its sold, or the owner, Ben, decided to withdraw it from sale. He was asking (AU) $20,000 or near offer. It was located in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

The advert read:
"1965 Nissan Silvia CSP311. Car is in need of restoration but very solid underneath, some rust and wrong colour, car has all parts except front and rear screen brightwork, original wheels, seats and steering wheel. Mechanically good."

Here are the pictures that went with the advert.

Blue CSP311 Silvia Update

March 18th, 2011

It would appear that the Blue Silvia I posted last year that was for sale has found a new owner.

I recently found these pictures of what looks to be the same car here and here


My Deepest Condolences

March 18th, 2011

In googleing this past week for any new CSP311 images I came across this video of a Silvia in need of a bit of TLC.



I later found a post on the same car on the wrx.com.au forum. Its owner Steve had intended to restore the car, and seeing some of his previous handy-work (The Ford Fairmont), it would have been a top job.

Tragically, Steve passed away in a workplace accident in 2010.
