TIREFOLDER OF DOCUMENTATION INCLUDED Launched in 1969 and first
available in the United States from 1970, the Datsun 240Z was the
sporty image leader from Japan's Nissan Corporation. From the
start, it completely revolutionized the sports-car world with its
performance, comfort, reliability, and surprising affordability.
Featuring sleek bodylines strongly reminiscent of Jaguar's E-Type,
the 240Z was a revelation to drive with its SOHC inline
six-cylinder engine, independent suspension, comfortable interior,
and breathtaking 125-mph top speed. Developed through larger
displacement 260Z and 280Z iterations, the first-generation cars
were built through 1978, followed by the 1979-83 280ZX.
Predictably, Z-Cars, as they are affectionately known, carried the
Datsun/Nissan banner with great success in SCCA and IMSA
competition. Offered in exceptionally original condition with just
one repaint in factory-specified Brown Metallic, this 1973 Datsun
240Z is a thrilling collector find. Formerly part of a private
collection, this 240Z benefits from Ziebart rust protection when
new and retains the matching numbers, twin-carbureted 2.4L inline
6-cylinder engine, paired to a 4-speed manual transmission. Other
choice highlights included power-assisted front disc brakes, an
under hood light, the original tinted glass (with the exception of
the replacement windshield), a Hitachi AM/FM radio, original
mag-style hub caps, new tires, and the original and unused spare
tire. An accompanying document folder includes the original sales
order, warranty booklet, and owner's manual. While extremely
sought-after when new, high-quality and highly original early
Z-Cars are scarce today, especially those in the outstanding and
highly original condition of this example that we are thrilled to
offer for sale. Don't miss out on this fabulous early Datsun 240Z!
