1971 Datsun 240Z

Details

This 1971 Datsun 240Z is powered by a 2.4L inline-six cylinder engine that directs power to the rear wheels via a four speed manual transmission. The car is finished in green with beige vinyl upholstery. This particular example is also fitted with slotted alloy wheels, Hitachi SU-style twin carburetors and a three gauge cluster mounted in the dash. An aftermarket aluminum radiator seems to be the only modification under the hood. The current owner reports that he is the third owner and it appears that the car has remained in California all its life.

This 240Z has been photographed and inspected by a third party to provide an accurate report of its condition. The car shows well considering its age and the exterior paint is still deep in color, despite showing some normal wear and discoloration in spots. The interior is said to be original and the beige seats are still in good condition with some fading in color. The dash does have a few splits but is still dark in color and intact. The current owner also reports that the car has spent considerable time in storage before his purchase, so he has treated the car to considerable mechanical sorting in order to make it the reliable vehicle that it currently is. The vehicle inspection confirms the car runs a drives as it should. This automobile comes with a car cover, two sets of keys, a receipt for $7,000 in recent service, and manuals.

This Datsun 240Z is being sold through a CLASSIC.COM Pro and is located in Culver City, California.

About the model

Sales of the Nissan Z Car started in October 1969 (for the 1970 model year), with separate versions for the Japanese and U.S. markets. In the US, it was marketed as the Datsun 240Z, and featured a 2.4L L24 inline-6 with twin Hitachi SU-type carburetors that produced 151 hp (113 kW) and drove power to the rear via a four-speed manual. A less common three-speed automatic transmission was optional from 1971 on. JDM versions were known as the Nissan Fairlady Z. Combining good looks and powerful performance, it sold over 45,000 units through the '71 model year and had similar sales the next two years respectively. For the 1974 model year, the 240Z was replaced by the Datsun 260Z.
