1974 Datsun 260Z Navigation
New bumper and exhaust emissions regulations expedited the upgrade of the Datsun Z-Car to 2.6-liters. Emissions restrictions dropped output and created some carburetion issues that left the 260 as the 'black sheep' of the first-gen Zs. The 2+2 body style added tiny back seats, 200 lbs, and stretched the wheelbase to 119 inches. The 260Z was the first Z-Car to offer the 2+2.
This particular 1974 Datsun 260Z 2+2 was the late Yutaka Katayama (Mr. K)'s personal company car in 1974-1975. Mr. K is the father of the Z-Car and was instrumental in bringing Datsun operations to the United States in 1960. Employees mixed a special iridescent metallic version of the factory yellow paint, and installed a retractable sunroof (not offered in the Z) for their beloved Mr. K.
The inline 6-cylinder engine displaces 2565cc and produces 140 horsepower and 157 lb-ft of torque. There is a three-speed floor shift transmission.
