This Datsun 240Z got away, but there are more like it here.
This 1973 Datsun 240Z is equipped with a claimed numbers-matching L24 inline-six paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox. The seller has driven around 500 miles in four months of ownership and performed a tuneup and basic service. The body was refinished in green in 2006 with the windows out, and new window rubber was used all around while a new windshield was installed. The engine has 3k miles on a 2000 rebuild and is equipped with dual downdraft Weber carburetors. Service records date from 1995 to the present. This Datsun 240Z is sold with service records and a clean Utah title in the seller’s name.
Datsun 303 Emerald Green Metallic is a 280Z color that was applied in a glass-out repaint commissioned in 2006 by the previous owner. Window and body seals were replaced at that time, and the seller believes body panels were removed before painting due to the lack of overspray or masking lines. The original #114 Brown Metallic can be seen in the engine bay and under the rear hatch carpet.
The seller states that one spot of rust is present near the fuel filler. 16″ Panasport alloy wheels wear 225/50 Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 tires.
The interior shows some wear with a faded and cracked dash and worn wood surfaces. The factory clock and an aftermarket cassette player are non-functioning. The hood release lever is broken and two aftermarket chokes were installed for the current Weber carburetor setup. The odometer shows 83,635 miles, and total mileage is unknown.
Tan vinyl seat covers show light creasing and wear, and an abrasion on the back bolster piping. AÂ metal patch is visible in the driver-side floor pan beneath the carpet, and is pictured in gallery photographs below.
Black carpeting lines the hatch area, and the factory spare wheel and jack kit are stored in the floor cubbies.
The L24 2.4L inline-six and four-speed manual transmission are said to be original to the car. The motor was rebuilt in 2000 and the original twin SU carburetors were replaced with dual downdraft Weber carburetors. The seller has performed basic maintenance including cleaning the carbs, a timing adjustment, replacement of the accelerator pumps, and new spark plugs and wires.
The seller has provided a collection of gallery photos displaying the condition of the suspension and underbody.
Factory manuals and a service booklet are included, along with a collection of service records covering the period from 1995-present. Videos showing a cold start and driving footage can be seen below.
