preserved original matching numbers car

Description for Datsun Z-Series 1972

An appreciating classic priced below Hagerty price guide, this 1972 Datsun 240Z is considered the best of the model years. With a 10/71 production date, the car has a vertical rear window defroster without the deck lid vents. It has been in the possession of the current owner for 5 years.

This original matching numbers car (orange #918) has been meticulously maintained by its four previous owners and retains the period look of a classic Zcar and considered an excellent driver. Service records from the three previous owners dates back to the late 70's. It was re-sprayed in 1986 in the original color. The 2.4 L engine is original to the car with 123,505 actual miles and runs strong and pulls strong and smoothly through all gears. A 5-speed gear box was added by a previous owner and documented in the records. The car does not drip any oil or fluids and everything is tight. The engine is clean, but has not been pulled by the current owner to be completely detailed. The paint has some small chips on the front edge of the hood, a blemish from the removal of body-side molding on the passenger-side door and small glue mark from side molding on the passenger-side quarter panel that are visible upon close inspection. It looks excellent for a 20 year respray. The imperfections are noted in the photographs. The car is rust-free and accident free.There is documentation of a passenger side rail replacement under the floorboard.
