The seller offers for sale this 1972 Datsun 240Z, equipped with a 2.4-liter 6-cylinder petrol engine and manual transmission. This example was imported from the United States to France in 2017 and acquired by the current owner in 2019, after which it underwent an extensive restoration carried out with great attention to detail. The car has been refinished in a custom paint and features a fully rebuilt engine, now upgraded with programmable electronic fuel injection and a 6-throttle intake system. The interior has been custom-made using leather and Alcantara, complemented by a modern instrument cluster. Additional technical upgrades include adjustable coilover suspension, upgraded disc brakes all around, a stainless steel exhaust system, and a fully renewed wiring harness.
The Datsun 240Z is widely regarded as one of the most influential Japanese sports cars ever produced. Introduced in the early 1970s, it combined sleek styling with strong performance and reliability, making it a success in both domestic and international markets.
