mikeys toy[RL] Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 just kicking around a thought; if I could get $4,000usd for her; I'd sell.... there's one on ebay going for $1,200usd and it's beat, stock daisy has EFI, 4k, k51, spare k60, t series 3.58 gears, starlet disc brakes, cruise control, a/c, extractor, 2" exhaust, louvred hood, side windows welded up.....

7shades Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Don't you DARE sell her before I get a chance to go for a ride... :) Quote
flat out Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Don't do it! unless you send it over here for some one just think how long you was bugging him till he finally sold it to you! Quote
Des Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) American law forbids you to sell daisy unless its to me. Edited January 17, 2007 by too quick Quote
mikeys toy[RL] Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Posted January 18, 2007 HOLYf@$kINGSHIT!!!! it's up to 2,500usd!!!!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...1219&rd=1,1 Quote
mikeys toy[RL] Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Posted January 18, 2007 If I had $4k....I could buy my De Soto...... Quote
7shades Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 De Soto De Shmoto.... it ain't no daisy. Why the hell is that 'rolla selling for so much? Has there been some sort of bizarre and unexplainable popularity surge in banged up old corollas in the USA? You'd be struggling to pull 1k AUD for that here.... completly original or not Quote
teza40 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 oh wow wow wow, $4k usd for that lovely desoto,shoot we would be paying anything from minimum $30,000 aud for that in that condition over here in australia. thats if you could find one here in that condition an imported need lots of work to bring it too that condition would be at a starting price of around $12,000 to $15,000 aud. like i said before else where on here....living in the wrong country for classic mopars... oh bugger just settle for the toyota and keep dreaming. cheers teza Quote
mikeys toy[RL] Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Posted January 19, 2007 they only imported the 10 series wagon from 4/69-4/70; daisy is a 11/69. all 10 series are rare over here; but the wagons are really rare. those desotos would go for around $10,000us for the 2dr and $8,000us for the 4dr because they're firesweeps. The foreswep was a dodge with a desoto bumper and tailights and aren't considered "real" desotos by purists. A '57 fireflite in fair to rough shape would sell for 10g's over here. 4 grand could get me a decent restorable firesweep and I love it long time Quote
7shades Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 ok... that all sounds reasonable... but you're not factoring in the extra grand you'd need to get another 'rolla :jamie: Quote
mikeys toy[RL] Posted January 20, 2007 Author Report Posted January 20, 2007 try more like 3k... no more 'rollas out here; people are afraid of imports in this part of the country. A true KE15 or KE17 will have to wait untill we move to the west coast or maybe a b210 coupe..... Quote
7shades Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 Hehehehe..... I had a b210..... but they were called 120y over here... tried my hardest to break it but it just wouldn't :jamie: Quote
mikeys toy[RL] Posted January 20, 2007 Author Report Posted January 20, 2007 I think the toyota cars were better; but the A series datsun engine I feel was tougher than the K series toyota I'm running an A14 in the Cricket Quote
7shades Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 Yeah the toyotas hold together better.... but datto motors just keeeep on running. I have done extensive testing on this matter. :jamie: When my 120 finally died (strut tower spot welds separated from the bodyshell, amongst other problems attributed to extreme metal fatigue) I pulled the engine down and discovered cracked pistons with bits missing and dents in the valves, but it was STILL RUNNING when I drove it into the shed. The larger datto motors can be problematic, (L20's) with the exeption of the 180b sss with the L18... sweeeeet engine. I miss my datto ;) Quote
