In 1970, there were quite a few choices when it came to small and sporty import cars. The Jaguar XKE, easily the most recognized, would see competition from several countries, including the United States with the Corvette, and Japan's new offering, the Datsun 240Z.
Designed with a distinctive long hood and sweeping rear hatchback, the Datsun 240Z was first introduced in October of 1969. The 1970 and 1971 models, considered Series 1, are to this day among the most popular sports cars ever produced. Based on the Fairlady Z, the 240Z is powered by a 2393cc six cylinder engine that produces 153 horsepower, providing plenty of power and impressive performance. A choice of a 4 or 5-speed manual, or a 3-speed automatic transmission, was offered. With full independent suspension, these cars are enviable performers both on and off the track.
The Datsun Zs have been popular performers in the Sports Car Club of America racing series. Many remember the team of Bob Sharp Racing with Elliott Forbes-Robinson, and later actor Paul Newman, as successful team drivers. Their red, white and blue Zs are instantly recognized and often copied to this day.
This is a fine example of a factory stock first generation Datsun 240Z.
