Re: My SSS pics uploaded correctly

I agree Duncan, these things are only worth what an ENTHUSIAST will pay for them. To your average un-informed dude, these cars look like old 1970's clunkers. It's the legend, the aura that surrounds them that cranks up the price and gets people paying many times more than the original purchase cost. For example, the Ford GTHO "shaker" was the fastest four-door production car in the world for 11 years. Whether that refers to top speed or acceleration, I don't know but personally I don't like them (too big and heavy = crappy handling). The 1600 SSS reputation was built on triumphs in racing and rallying against more expensive cars and often better funded rival teams. This is why it is a recognised classic. Although the wine-quaffing, Porsche-driving weekend racers may snub their noses at it when one is entered in a road rally against them, I think that even they acknowledge its racing heritage. If I had $10 000 I'd spend it on something other than a 510 SSS. I'd put it towards a 240Z or a late-model 180SX.   Cheers, Rob P ----- Original Message ----- From: Duncan Shillito To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 5:40 AM Subject: Re: My SSS pics uploaded correctly   Help me, Don't get me wrong  - I'd buy one if I found one for sale - but what is so special about a P510SSS ? Let's face, they're NOT a Falcon GT (where stock original is worth more than modified and big name people invest mega bucks in them). All I see is a couple of small SU type carbys on an L16 with a bit more compression and a great looking dash. Interior is nothing special, wheels & brakes are the same, same floor shift 4 speed as the standard 510 etc.. I am aware of supply vs. demand, but even in today's special events such as Targa Tassie and Classic Adelaide, Datto people are calling their cars H510SSS with L18, even though they are P510s (originally fitted with L16s). I see some of these bullshit prices floating around for P510SSS equipment that's not that special and yes I'm confused. Rick, are you missing the SSS rocker cover (with three full ribs)? Maybe I didn't quite pick it up in the photos. Nice original find anyway.   Dunc. >From: "maldat" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: My SSS pics uploaded correctly >Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2002 01:19:03 +1300 > >Rick whats your address and i'll post you a 510/610 sss oil sender that one you have is ugly big and not stock looking.. > >See I'm not a over priced person ,,just a person that knows if you what a nice car and it costs.Parts are only worth what someone wants to pay.. >I have been asked a few times if I want to sell my 510SSS spot light grille for $500usd,and the guy knows I only have one light not two but the grille is 100% mint with badge..I dont really want to sell it,,but hey everything has a price!(thinking hard,HHmmm,I'll never have anther one,,so whats it worth?) > >Infact Rick would you like a later model rubber covered one or a plain steel one? > >malcolm > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Rick White > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2002 8:43 PM > Subject: Re: My SSS pics uploaded correctly > > > Terry. > Yes that is what I was trying to explain to Malcolm a couple of weeks ago when he said the two were the same. > As you see they are not. > I was seriously stuck for that oil pressure switch that is in my SSS, it took them ages to find it, it supposably was the last New Old Stock one that Nissan in Perth had. > I hope it never breaks, otherwise I may have to take you up on that offer. > My wagon pics have been there for like over 8 months, took you a wile to go in and check them out. > How close is my 1970 SSS to the one you owned, going by the pics?? > Later. > Rick White. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Terry Rudd > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2002 3:01 PM > Subject: RE: My SSS pics uploaded correctly > > > Rick, > > L18SSS and L16SSS oil pressure senders are the same and therefore identical - I have a spare or two somewhere under the house if you get stuck for one. > > I like your wagon, I'm seriously going to look out for one some day - the oil pressure sender in the wagon is a stock switch - suitable only for an idiot dash light. > > regards > Terry > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Rick White > Sent: Wednesday, 11 December 2002 3:21 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: My SSS pics uploaded correctly > > > Kristian, > The one on the SSS is for a guage, not a idiot light, so if you have a guage then yes it is a good replacement. > Later. > Rick White. > > > --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- > OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- > Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > No unauthorised redistribution of this email > http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm > http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html > http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- > OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- > Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > No unauthorised redistribution of this email > http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm > http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html > http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > >--membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- >OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- >Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >No unauthorised redistribution of this email >http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm >http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html >http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ >--------------------------------------------------------------------- Protect your PC - Click here for McAfee.com VirusScan Online --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
