Vehicle Description
Get ready to experience the thrill of driving this fierce 1970
Datsun 240Z Series 1. Its sleek, muscular body is cloaked in a
mesmerizing red paint with a heavy dose of gold flake that dances
in the sunlight. The aggressive front splitter, short Japanese
market bumpers, rear louvers, and subtle hatch wing all contribute
to its unapologetic sportiness. This Z rides on 15-inch Rota alloy
wheels, wrapped in 205/60R15 Hankook Optimo H724 tires from 2016
that grip the road with tenacity.
As you open the door, you're welcomed by a masterfully modernized
interior. The confetti-patterned bucket seats from a '91 CRX hug
you tight, while the black and red vinyl-clad steering wheel and
shift knob beg to be gripped. The Alpine stereo, fat mat sound
deadening, and strategically placed speakers create an immersive
audio experience. Keep an eye on the AEM AFR gauge, cleverly
mounted on the steering column, to stay in tune with your ride's
performance.
The 2.8L L28 powerplant sourced from a 280Z. Rebuilt with an
overbore, flat-top pistons, and mated to 280ZX heads. Dual SU
carbs, a custom fresh air intake, and an aluminum radiator keep it
breathing deep and running cool. The power flows through a rebuilt
280Z 5-speed manual trans and rear end, both ready to handle
whatever you throw at them. Eibach springs, KYB struts, Energy
Suspension bushings, upgraded sway bars, and coilovers ensure this
Z corners like it's on rails. And when it's time to rein it in, the
Toyota 4x4 pickup twin-piston calipers up front and power drums out
back have your back.
