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.

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.
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.

Mazda is perhaps the only mass market auto manufacturer that has dabbled with the rotary engine for a few decades, and sold significant numbers of rotary-engined cars. Their legendary RX-7 is firmly cemented in enthusiast and tuner history as one of the greats. The RX-8 that followed was a bit more mellow, but added some family friendliness to the package while retaining that smooth, high-revving rotary motor. Apart from these models, there were a few others in history. One of these was the RX-3, which was offered between 1971 and 1978. This was the rotary-engined variant of the Mazda Grand Familia compact car, Mazda’s answer to Toyota’s fearsome Corolla and the Sunny from Nissan. Today, finding a Grand Familia is hard to say the least, much less its rarer rotary-engined variant, but we’ve got one right here. If you want a Japanese curio to grace your garage, this 1975 Mazda RX-3 awaits in Zephyrhills, Florida. It’s got an original 36,000 miles too.
Popularly called the hairy-chested Healey, the Austin-Healey 3000 was, as the name suggests, a large-engined British sports car, typically in roadster form. Unlike typical British roadsters of the time, the Austin-Healey 3000 came with an uncharacteristically large six-cylinder powerplant and was, overall, a larger car, albeit by not much. Produced between 1959 and 1967, it makes for an excellent classic car to own and cherish. Interestingly, in the Austin-Healey 3000’s later years, the majority of production found its way to North America. Today, we’ve got one of those cars, a 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 Roadster from Gastonia, North Carolina. Why not pick it up and make it your weekend cruiser?
Shown to the world in 1968, the Series 1 Jaguar XJ is famous for being the last Jaguar to have been designed under the leadership of Sir William Lyons, the man who founded Jaguar Cars of Britain. The XJ is also well-known for retaining much of its classic styling cues for over four decades, offering a refreshingly different choice to luxury car buyers who didn’t feel like going for the popular German choices. Today, we’ve got a way for you to sample a modern classic XJ, in the shape of this Series 3 1987 Jaguar XJ6 from Cooper City, Florida. The car has traveled 84,000 miles which shows that it’s been enjoyed, but with continued maintenance, can keep on going and going. That’s why you should seriously consider taking it on, as it’s a classic that you can daily drive and even use for family transport requirements.
