The seller offers for sale a Datsun 260Z from 1974, with a 2.6-liter 6-cylinder petrol engine and automatic transmission. This car originates from California, where it remained in solid condition before being imported to the Netherlands. The exterior is finished in metallic green with only minor imperfections, and the brown interior has been preserved remarkably well considering its age. Mechanically, the engine starts reliably, produces no smoke or unusual sounds, and the gearbox shifts smoothly. The body is generally hard and has no visible rust, except only two small areas underneath and the battery tray requiring attention. The car shows no signs of accident history and is ready to be enjoyed as-is or further refined into a top-level classic.
The Datsun 260Z, introduced in 1974 as part of the Z-series, built on the success of the legendary 240Z by offering improved refinement and comfort. With its long hood, fastback styling, and balanced chassis, it became a global symbol of affordable sports car performance. The straight-six engine delivered strong power and driving excitement, while its Japanese reliability set it apart from many European rivals. Today, the 260Z remains a sought-after classic, admired for its blend of style, performance, and collectibility. Well-preserved examples like this are becoming increasingly rare, making them highly desirable among enthusiasts and investors alike.
