1972 Datsun 240Z Description

1972 Datsun 240Z

MotoeXotica is proud to present our latest addition a very original 1972 Datsun 240Z

Datsun introduced their Z Models in 1969 starting an era of affordable sport GT two-door coupes whose line continues to this day with the 370Z. Sold internationally under the name 240Z and domestically as the Fairlady Z this model is quickly becoming one of the most desirable import sports cars. These cars came standard with many advanced features that were optional on most other sports cars for instance independent suspension and front disc brakes. Datsun priced their 240Z to compete with the European cars but began to dominate their market with Datsun’s (Nissan) growing dealer network whose prices were vastly less expensive than the European dealers.

This 1972 Datsun 240Z is a nice example of the company’s “halo” car. Repainted in a bright green with the original saddle interior this is a great example of an early series I Datsun 240Z. The paint is in overall very good condition with only minor road use showing. All of the body panels are straight with only minor indentations found upon closer inspection. Overall the body and paint finish is typical of what is seen on cars in a much higher price bracket.

Interior:

Original saddle in good original condition; minor wear marks on the side bolstering Original thin-faux wood steering wheel Black arm rests center consul and dashboard all in very good condition Original gauges Original FM/AM radio Trunk is in good condition lined in black carpet Black carpet in good condition only normal foot wear spots showing

Exterior:

Rear windscreen louver in good condition minor crack in one louver and doesn’t lock 5J- 14 Steel “Z” basket weave wheels in very good condition Newer 195/70R14 tires with little wear indicated Chrome side view mirrors in very good condition “Z” vented badging in great condition Power antenna The underbody is original and does show some rust on the floor sections Chrome front and rear bumpers in great condition Single chrome exhaust tip in very good condition Tinted windows

Mechanical

L24 inline six cylinder 2.4L single over-head camshaft: 151hp & 146lb-ft Twin Hitachi SU-type carburetors Four-speed manual transmission Front disc brakes & rear drum brakes Independent front & rear suspension with MacPherson struts in front and Chapman struts in the rear Rack-and-pinion steering

Driving this 240Z is a real experience the inline six sounds healthy and has plenty of torque. This car has no problems matching modern traffic requirements. Braking is confidence inspiring as well as the steering inputs too. This Datsun 240Z would be great start for those interested in an affordable sports coupe that is sure to increase in value especially with the correct engine!
