Here at JDM Legends we are always looking for the next big project, or simply to bring these cars back to the public to get the love and care they deserve.
Many cars like this Z may be looked past, or scrapped due to the large amount of work involved in bringing them back to life. Here at JDM Legends, we specialize in bringing these great cars back to road worthy condition, and ready to be enjoyed for many more years. (Check back to see where this Z will end up.)
We are continually searching for good condition cars as well as the next car to restore, and lets face it, everyone could use a little extra cash. We will be offering a base finders fee of $200.00 for vehicles purchased which can go much higher depending on the quality and condition of the car. We guarantee a fair price!
More specifically we will be looking for the following vehicle’s in any condition from showroom to farm fresh:
early/low production number Japanese vehicles
Honda S500/600/800
Mazda Cosmo Sport
Mazda RX 2/3/4
Mazda RX7
Nissan/Datsun 1600/2000 Roadster

Toyota Celica (1970-77)
Toyota Corolla (1966-1987)

Been looking at the vintage finds and I found 2 honda civics very clean, great shape….one is a 77 and the other is a 79. I’m not surr if you guys do honda but yea that’s the vintage I found…they are for sale….I spoke to the owner…I hahe pictures….get back to me if you guys would be interested
Wow, did you end up buying that Subaru 360? i really hope so – such a cool car and seems to be in a good shape for a proper restoration
Unfortunately the seller is somewhat attached to it and not ready to sell at the moment but we’ll definitely keep trying.
Wow, as someone that searches for some of these cars on a regular basis, I can tell you that you’re gonna have your hands full! I found about 150 Datsuns that fit these criteria with just a few hours work! If you happen to be looking for someone to help with this – someone with a CDL and significant professional mechanical experience with old Japanese cars – I can point you in the right direction!
Thanks Laken, we’re not necessarily looking for every Datsun out there, but more specifically the ones that are in exceptional condition or a little more rare than others. We’re also looking for good deal, like you said, there’s a lot out there but not everything is necessarily a wise purchase and I think you know the ones I’m talking about
If you have anything that fits the criteria definitely shoot us an e-mail. I hope your 510 project is making good progress!
Seriously – if you guys are looking to hire someone to drive around and buy cars, I’d love to do it! I know another guy with a CDL who’s even more of a car geek than me, and he’s actually looking for a job now too…
I know exactly what you’re talking about! The Datsun is coming along pretty well. New brake lines (rubber and hand-fab’d steel), along with a bunch of other brake parts; Pertronix Ignitor with new wires, plugs, coil, and wiring; completely refurb’d and retuned the SU’s, fixed all the taillight wiring, and a few other miscellaneous things. I also discovered that the throttle linkage was hitting the heat shield at about 65% – which was an easy fix – so the now car is even more fun to drive! It’s running MUCH better than it was when we visited you guys. I’m lovin’ it! I still wish I had the money to buy that Skyline from you, though… =D
I have a ’65 S40 Toyota Crown, that I bought just so it wouldn’t get crushed. I’d be more than happy to sell it to somebody for cheap to make it look pretty again. Mostly complete, not much rust, still was a barn find, so she’ll need work.
Sounds cool Matthew, the S40′s are pretty awesome. Thanks for saving it! Send us a few pics to sales@jdmlegends.com and we’ll check it out.
Sent an email. JapaneseNostalgicCar is a great resource.
