Datsun Z-Series (1971)
for sale

Price: US $15,000.00

Description:

This 240Z enjoys a unique combination: a completely rebuilt/upgraded drivetrain and suspension along with a body and interior in great condition with no rust. The car bears the autograph of Yutaka Katayama (President of Nissan USA, known as Mr. K who passed away in a few months ago) under the hood. The car spent most of its life in Texas and then a short stop in Florida before I purchased the car in the fall of 2014 and brought it to New York. The car has been fully inspected by my mechanic who, interestingly, was a Datsun mechanic when these cars were new and he has made sure that everything is in perfect order on the car. Between the excellent care and upgrades the car received from the previous owner and the final work done by my mechanic, the car is in awesome condition mechanically. The car is great to drive and I don’t hesitate to take it anywhere so long as the weather is good. I hate to part with the car, but due to a relocation I am left with no choice but to find a new home for this fun car.
