Vehicle Description

- Silver with Burgundy Leather Seats with Black Bolsters, Black Carpeting, 4-Speed Manual Transmission, 2.4L Inline-Six Engine, Numbers Matching, Cosmetically and Mechanically Restored, Long Term Enthusiast Owned. The Datsun 240Z was Japans equivalent to Britains sporting Jaguar E-type. By the late 1960s, Nissan had begun work in-house on a new sports car designed specifically with American drivers in mind. With its superb styling, the 240Z became an instant cult classic and automotive icon. It is equipped with a 150 horsepower, 2.4-liter single overhead camshaft straight-six cylinder engine with independent suspension and disc brakes. The 240Z was on par with, or even superior to, many of the best sports cars of the period. This 240Z has been collector owned, restored, and maintained for the past 20 years by one owner. During their ownership, it received a full engine rebuild with twin side draft Hitachi carbs, electronic ignition, 4 core radiator with electric cooling fan, 100amp alternator, Cragar polished aluminum wheels, color matched rear window louver, complete interior reupholstery with new carpeting throughout, new radio and electric antenna. A recent road test attests to the overall quality of all the work that has gone into making this 240Z a pleasure to drive. This is a wonderfully presented and maintained 240Z that is ready for immediate use and enjoyment. Considering its excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition, wonderful provenance and collectability potential, one would be hard pressed to find a better example.
