An iconic piece of Japanese sports car history, Nissan’s series of Z cars have been around since the late '60s. Badged as Datsuns in the United States, the Z cars were highly desirable when brand-new, as they marked a sort of affordable entry into the sports car segment for eager enthusiasts. As time passed by, examples such as this first-generation 1971 Datsun 240Z Coupe have only appreciated in desirability, and value. So why not grab yourself a slice of Japanese automotive nirvana and buy this fully restored car? It’s got less than 1,500 miles on its rebuilt motor, and a slew of new parts.
Wearing a paint simply called Charcoal Effect that was applied in 2019, this 1971 Datsun 240Z Coupe has a sort of restomod vibe to it, a look that’s further enhanced by its shaved door handles and aftermarket black alloy wheels. In case you’re wondering how to open the doors, they’ve been upgraded to electric items for ease of use. The rest of the car remains mostly stock, right down to its head and taillamps, while a set of twin chromed tailpipes rakishly poke out from beneath the rear bumper. We’re told that the tires are new as well. The interior of this 1971 Datsun 240Z Coupe is said to be new, with new seats and new carpeting contributing towards the time capsule effect. You’ve got an aftermarket Kenwood audio player with Bluetooth capabilities, as well as a USB input, so that you can choose your tunes easily. Then, there’s a wood-topped gear shifter and a wood-rimmed steering wheel for added classic ambiance. Meanwhile, you’ve got some generous luggage space available, easily accessed via a rear glass liftback.
Featuring the L24 in-line six-cylinder engine, this 1971 Datsun 240Z Coupe has got plenty of grunt to match its looks. Displacing 2.4 liters, the engine uses two carburetors and was recently rebuilt. Factory figures are said to be 151hp and 146lb-ft. Furthermore, this rear-wheel drive car gets an upgrade to a 5-speed manual transmission. The car also comes with new brakes, so that you can drive it in a suitable fashion.

Nissan’s epic line-up of Z-cars started way back in 1969 with the S30 series. With its straight-six engine and four-wheel independent suspension, it was truly a technological tour-de-force for the time, unlike competitors in the small sports car segment. For many overseas markets, including the United States, the car was sold under the Datsun brand. Now, the first-generation Z cars are firmly cemented in classic car culture, representing Japan’s finest with pride. If you’d like to own one of these iconic machines, here’s a 1970 Datsun 240Z up for sale right now with us.

This 1982 Datsun 280ZX presents as a uniquely customized example of Nissan’s beloved long-nose grand tourer, wearing bright red paint paired with a fully reupholstered two-tone blue & black interior.

Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
