1972 Datsun 240Z base
Vehicle DetailsThis 1972 Datsun 240Z is finished in silver over red vinyl and is powered by a numbers-matching 2.4-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes electronic ignition, twin SU carburetors, 14″ steel wheels with covers, chrome bumpers with guards, and a Hitachi AM/FM radio. The car was acquired in September 2021, reportedly from its second owner of 48 years. A repaint was performed during prior ownership, while work completed in September 2021 consisted of a replacement distributor cap and rotor, tires, and ignition wires, valve cover gasket, hoses, and clamps. The front rotors, pads, and bearings were replaced in December 2021. This 240Z is offered in California with service records, manufacturer’s literature, spare keys, a jack, and a clean Ohio title in the name of the seller’s company.
Finished from the factory in Silver (901), the car was reportedly repainted under prior ownership. Features include a driver’s side mirror, chrome bumpers with guards, brushed window trim, and an aftermarket power antenna. Close-up photos of the body and trim are provided in the gallery.
