Price My Classic

The Nissan S30 (sold in Japan as the Nissan Fairlady Z and in other markets as the Datsun 240Z, then later as the 260Z and 280Z) is the first generation of Z GT 3-door two-seat coupes, produced by Nissan Motors of Japan from 1969 until 1978. The S30 was conceived of by Yutaka Katayama, the President of Nissan Motor Corporation U. S. A. and designed by a team led by Yoshihiko Matsuo, the head of Nissan's Sports Car Styling. This particular 1973 240Z was recently restored, nut for bolt, and is ready for its next owner to both show off and enjoy driving! Power is sent to the rear wheels by a 2,393cc (2. 4 liter) inline 6-cylinder motor boasting Dual SU Carburetors backed by 4-Speed Manual Transmission! Everything has been...

Originally a California car before it was 'imported' to Texas, this 240Z now sports a lustrous, painstakingly executed medium gray metallic finish, with two very subtle metallic gray stripes that are a shade or two lighter than the main color. The stripes really add some pizazz to its look when the light is just right - otherwise, they blend in unobtrusively until just the right lighting is there, and then 'bang, there they are'! The real secret to this car is its drivetrain and suspension - under the skin is where the real excitement begins. but before we get to that, we'll build up the suspense a bit. Most of the work done on this restomod was performed by the wizards at SZR Pro and Awesome Z (both in the Houston, TX area). This 240 has been stripped to bare metal, and nearly completely disassembled to begin the restoration that happened prior to the modification. With almost 30 pages of receipts, detailing new nuts, bolts, fasteners, seals, weatherstrip, gaskets, jute, carpet, trim; well, you can just about name it - this car now looks and feels 'fresh from the factory', but it's way better! If something wasn't right or didn't work,...

This bad boy isn-t your standard 240Z -' this thing is a track ready monster! Under the hood of this sports car sits a Chevy 383 SBC from a 1971 Corvette. This 240Z is also custom painted in the Dodge Viper ACR factory Snake Skin Green Pearl paint and looks incredible. You will also notice the Carbon Fiber hood with HEX Vents and Carbon Fiber APR wing!

The Motor.

Bolted to this 383 SBC is a Lunati Cam (10. 9 : 1 compressions), Quickfuel 750 Carburetor, Lunati Cam, air-air intercooler, oil cooler, and Stef-s oil pan -' producing 500 HP. Paired with the Vortec Supercharger with blow-off valves kicks this badboy up to an estimated 625 HP! The motor is mated to a Tremec 5 speed manual transmission with a Ford Trak-loc rear-end and 3. 73 gears. The custom exhaust includes a Spintek muffler with custom built Tri Y headers with titanium wraps.

The Chassis.

The chassis has been customized to handle the monstrous motor and is equipped with a custom sub-frame and roll cage with shock tower braces. The car also has Techno Toy Tuning control arms, welded-in camber adjustment plates, as well as Koni 6-way adjustable struts with coil...

Since 1969, The Nissan/Datsun range of Z cars has enthralled sports car enthusiasts worldwide, including in North America. This example is from the first generation of Nissan/Datsun Z cars.
