For Sale: 1972 Datsun 240Z in Lavergne, Tennessee

Vehicle Description

There are cars that arrive as a feeling more than a machine, and the original Datsun 240Z is one of those icons. It represents the pure, affordable two-seat sports car that captured American imaginations in the 1970s. This example carries that same simple appeal with a strong family provenance and a tidy survivor presentation that invites both enjoyment and sympathetic restoration. If you want a classic Z that still feels honest and usable, this one deserves a close look - a 1972 Datsun 240Z, STK #5006-NSH, that wears its history well.

Step inside and you will find a mostly stock cabin that has been sensibly refreshed. Newer carpet, seat covers and a dash cap give the interior a clean presentation while retaining the original layout and character. There is slight wear on the driver's bolster consistent with age, but overall it looks great for a 53 year old survivor and is ready for weekend drives or further cosmetic refinement.

Under the hood sits the correct 2.4L inline six with dual SU carburetors and an engine stamp that matches the reported engine number. The believed original 4-speed manual shifts as expected. Suspension uses coil springs with shocks front and rear, front disc brakes and rear drums provide stopping power, and new 185/70R14 tires were just fitted.

Highlights:

- Family owned and passed from father to son, strong long term ownership
- 2.4L inline-6 with dual SU carburetors, engine stamp matches reported number
- Believed original 4-speed manual transmission
- New tires just installed (185/70R14) with 14 inch wheels
- Suspension: coils with shocks front and rear
- Front disc, rear drum brakes
- Newer carpet, seat covers and dash cap, slight wear on driver bolster

This 240Z is an appealing mix of survivor character, family provenance and correct mechanicals, making it a smart buy for enthusiasts who want a driveable classic with room to personalize. Call today to schedule a closer look.
