For Sale at Auction: 1972 Datsun 240Z in Houston, Texas

This 1972 Fairlady Z Resto-Mod had no expense spared in its design, fabrication and restoration. This Datsun is powered by a GM LS V8 engine with 400+hp and the dyno sheets are included. The intake manifold was dipped to look like carbon fiber and the engine covers were painted to match the exterior. It's equipped with many upgrades, such as a custom cold-air intake with K&N filter, Taylor 409 Racing red wires, an Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator, AN fittings, an Optima red-top battery and a custom strut tower bar. The engine is cooled by a custom aluminum radiator with an electric fan, a carbon-fiber looking cover and an aluminum reservoir. The engine breathes through a custom exhaust system with Sanderson headers and Flowmaster mufflers. The engine is coupled to a TREMEC 6-speed manual transmission with a hydraulic clutch. The power is transferred to the pavement through the Infiniti Q45 R200 VLSD rear end. It has custom billet rear differential mounts and billet axles with CV half-shafts. The undercarriage is nicely detailed throughout. This car is equipped with custom-made subframe connectors from front to back and has rack & pinion steering. The suspension system consists of MSA camber plates, MSA coilovers, Eibach springs, Tokiko illumine 5-way adjustable inserts and Suspension Techniques front and rear sway bars. The braking system consists of Modern Motorsports Extreme 13-inch PBR 4-wheel disc brakes with a Wilwood master cylinder. It was painted in a 2017 GM Crystal White Tri-Coat, with the hood rise and all the trim painted in Satin Black. The car is dressed with Cobra mirrors, halogen smoked headlights, custom emblems, carbon-fiber look on the front and rear bumpers, and carbon-fiber look on the front and rear spoilers with matching door handles. The all-new black interior features aluminum Fairlady Z door sills, a MOMO Competition steering wheel, AutoMeter Phantom gauges, RECARO bucket seats, black billet window cranks and a shifter with a Hurst knob, Performance billet pedals, custom Z accessories, a Vintage Air system, a custom sound system, and a roll bar and rear strut tower bar, both of which were painted to match the exterior. The car stands on 16-inch Panasport Racing wheels that were dipped to give a carbon fiber look on front and back. The wheel center caps were dipped in a white carbon fiber look to match the exterior color, and the wheels are wrapped with Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires that stick to the pavement.
