This 1971 Datsun 240Z is finished in Monte Carlo Red over black vinyl and powered by a numbers-matching 2.4-liter L24 inline-six paired with a replacement five-speed manual transmission. Features include a Pioneer cassette stereo along with a chrome left-side mirror, trim, and bumpers. The car was acquired by the seller approximately nine years ago, reportedly from its second owner, and has remained in storage since. Recent work included an oil change, a rebuild of the radiator, and replacement of the spark plugs, wires, brake pads, and rotors.
Series I cars feature 240Z badging on the C-pillars, as well as horizontal vents in the rear hatch and a rear defroster with Series I-only vertical heating elements.
Steel 14” wheels are wrapped in 195/70 Vredestein Sprint Classic tires that were fitted during current ownership. The seller reports that the brake pads and rotors were also replaced.
The cabin features twin bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl along with a matching dashboard, diamond-patterned center tunnel covering, door panels, and carpets lined with black rubber Z-branded floor mats. A Pioneer AM/FM cassette stereo is fitted.
The air-conditioning controls are retained, though the seller notes the compressor has been removed and is included with the sale.
The three-spoke faux wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and an 8k-rpm tachometer. An analog clock and auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, amperage, and fuel level are mounted in the middle of the dashboard, and the five-digit odometer shows just under 58k miles, a handful of which have been added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.
The 2.4-liter L24 inline-six features twin carburetors, and power is sent to the rear wheels through a replacement five-speed manual transmission that records indicate was rebuilt prior to its installation in 2001. Recent maintenance included a radiator rebuild, an oil change, and the replacement of the battery, spark plugs, wires, and hose clamps. The removed four-speed dogleg manual transmission is included with the sale.
Factory literature, two keys, a jack, the removed four-speed shift knob, and partial service records are included with the sale.
