Datsun was the export arm of the Japanese automobile manufacturer Nissan. Datsun was founded in 1931 as the Dat Motorcar Co, and later on, changed to Datson. Nissan acquired Datson in 1934 and subsequently changed the name to Datsun. The Datsun brand was phased in and out multiple times over the decades until 2022 saw Nissan discontinue the brand due to poor sales. 1969 saw Nissan release the Nissan Fairlady Z the JDM version while globally it was introduced as the Datsun 240Z. The 240Z was produced through 1978 and is considered one of the great cars to come from Japan. A chance to own a magnificent 1972 Datsun 240Z with a 4-speed manual and just 500 miles on the clock after the restoration and rebuild, is now in sight.
When the Datsun 240Z was introduced, it was lauded for its sleek design which emphasized performance and agility. This 1972 Datsun 240Z is dressed in a gorgeous orange exterior which was repainted during the full-frame restoration, adding to the fresh coat of paint, a ceramic coating has been applied to protect the paint. The front features a slim bumper and brush guard mix finished in chrome and black rubber. The recessed headlights are surmounted by a chrome ring as well. The Datsun logo is visible on the lower half of the front fenders. The rear features a stylish coupe design with a slim rear bumper/ brush guard combo also in chrome and black rubber. The interior is finished in black hard plastic. A cluster of gauges can be seen on the top of the center console. The seller reports that the air conditioner has been upgraded by Vintage Air. An aftermarket modern stereo is in place with a Bluetooth connection coupled to a set of Focal speakers. The 3-spoke wood steering wheel with the Datsun lettering in the middle has also been added by the seller.
The 1972 Datsun 240Z came with only the 2.0L engine, while the JDM version had the option of the much more powerful 2.4L engine. This car comes with the 2.4L straight-6 mated to a manual 4-speed transmission. It is reported that the engine and transmission have not been confirmed to be numbers matching. The seller reports that all the fluids have been cleaned out and a new battery was recently installed. The car is reportedly stored on a trickle charger.
