Vehicle Description
*1972 Datsun 240Z*Although Datsun had been selling cars in the
United States prior to the introduction of the 240Z, the two-door
sports car was the model that really put them on the map. With its
stunning long nose and sloped fastback shape, the 240Z looked both
more exotic and far more expensive than it actually was, and became
one of the first truly desirable Japanese cars stateside. This 1972
240Z is particularly special, as it is being offered from its
original owner who purchased the car new in Bellingham, WA and is
sold with its original title and warranty/service booklets.Finished
in white with black side stripes, this 240Z is lightly modified in
a manner that somebody would have done in period. Sitting on a set
of 4-spoke American Racing mag wheels, and with a BRE air dam up
front, this car is a true blast from the past. In 2018, a
comprehensive restoration on this car was completed where some of
the very common rust issues were addressed, the whole car received
new paint and re-striped with the correct 240Z sill stripes.The
interior of the car was upholstered in red vinyl, creating a
stunning contrast to the white exterior. During the restoration,
the entire interior was thoroughly gone through and brought back to
original specification. This included new seat upholstery, new
carpets and the dashboard and instruments were refurbished but
remain original to the car. Another great thing about this car is
that it is fitted with air conditioning which wasn't particularly
common and great to have for summer drives.Under the hood sits the
powerplant that made the 240Z so legendary. Known as the L24, this
2.4-liter inline-6 with a single overhead camshaft produces 150
horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque and is known for its low end
punch and great sound as you rev it out. Breathing through a pair
of Hitachi SU carburetors, this car's engine bay looks to have been
well kept from new, with original stickers still affixed to the
orange air cleaner.The 240Z was a car that brought sports cars to
the masses in the 1960s and 1970s and remains a very sought after
car to this day. This example is particularly unique, having been
under the care of a single owner from new, and benefiting from the
recent reconditioning. If you have always wanted to experience the
fun of a Datsun Z, this is a fantastic example that would look
great in any garage.*Key Features* * Single Ownership From New *
