Only a few cars in the history of the automotive industry have
truly lasting legacies. The Chevy Corvette and Porsche 911 have
stood the test of time in the sports car dominion. But hot on their
heels is the legendary Z from Datsun/Nissan. Also called the
Fairlady Z in the Japanese market this first-gen 1973 Datsun 240Z
is a spectacular example of why this bloodline has endured. The
fully resprayed exterior stays true to its original 918 paint code,
and with only 3,000 miles of use since its restoration, still looks
great. Inside, the black vinyl interior retains its factory
appearance, complete with a believed original three-spoke
wood-rimmed steering wheel. The original radio is functional and in
place, but the consignor has added a hidden Bluetooth stereo under
the passenger seat and mounted the controls inconspicuously inside
the center console to allow for modern entertainment while still
retaining the classic vibe of the interior.
Under the hood is the original numbers-matching 2.4-liter
inline-six-cylinder engine. Topped with dual one-barrel
carburetors, the engine was removed and rebuilt, and now sits
looking comfortable in the remarkably clean engine bay. Power is
funneled through an X0700 three-speed automatic transmission and on
the rear wheels where sixteen-inch wheels shod in 205/55R-16
Firestone rubber wait to tackle the tarmac with alacrity. An
independent suspension at both the front and rear provides a
well-balanced track attack, while power disc brakes up front and
power drums at the rear scrub off speed in no time.
