An appreciating classic
priced below Hagerty price guide, this 1972 Datsun 240Z is considered the best
of the model years. With a 10/71 production date, the car has a vertical rear
window defroster without the deck lid vents. It has been in the possession of
the current owner for 5 years.
This original matching
numbers car (orange #918) has been meticulously maintained by its four previous
owners and retains the period look of a classic Zcar and considered an
excellent driver. Service records from the three previous owners dates back to
the late 70's. It was re-sprayed in 1986 in the original color. The 2.4 L
engine is original to the car with 123, 505 actual miles and runs strong and pulls strong and smoothly through all gears. A 5-speed gear box was
added by a previous owner and documented in the records. The car does not drip any oil or fluids
and everything is tight. The engine is clean, but has not been pulled by the
current owner to be completely detailed. The paint has some small chips on the
front edge of the hood, a blemish from the removal of body-side molding on the
passenger-side door and small glue mark from side molding on the passenger-side
quarter panel that are visible upon close inspection. It looks excellent for a 20 year respray. The imperfections are noted in the photographs. The car is
rust-free and accident free. There is documentation of a passenger side rail replacement under the floorboard.
The car has modest
upgrades to improve comfort and drivability that were installed by the current
and previous owners which include: updated air conditioning system, 3-row
aluminum radiator, Mazda Miata seats, 4-piston calipers and electronic
ignition. All of the original equipment (seats and radiator) have been retained
for original value. All the rubber window gaskets are new. Chrome is excellent.
It comes with the a documented maintenance history, original owner's warranty card, owners manual and tool kit.
The original radio was replaced by a previous owner. The vehicle is currently
garaged in Virginia Beach, VA, after arriving at a Miami, FL Datsun Dealership
