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), re-chromed bumpers with bumper
guards, 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! Be sure to call us to
arrange a viewing appointment and test drive today!
