1970 Datsun 240Z Coupe

When the Datsun 240 Z was introduced in October of 1969, it took the sports car world by storm. With a sleek and stylish body, it was squarely aimed at the high-end European competitors. With impressive performance, excellent handling, and a long list of standard features, it garnered national attention and rave reviews.

This Series 1, serial number 509, has a 2.4-liter inline six-cylinder engine backed by a 4-speed manual transmission. As an early production model, it has the chrome 240Z badges on the sail panel with twin horizontal vents in the rear hatch. Additional features include 4-wheel independent suspension with MacPherson front struts, front disc brakes, and rack-and-pinion steering.

This duplicates the car the owner shipped back from Okinawa in 1971 at the conclusion of his military service. He personally restored it to be exactly the same as his original car, right down to the Okinawa front license plate.
