Overview of 1971 Datsun 240Z Coupe For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

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.

Engine

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.
