Datsun 240Z (1972) for Sale in RI

The Datsun 240Z made a huge impact when it debuted in the early 70s, offering impressive performance, stylish design, and a much more affordable price compared to European sports cars like the MGB-GT. Now, over 50 years later, the 240Z is a beloved classic that continues to turn heads with its timeless appeal. This particular 240Z is powered by the L24 2.4-liter straight-six engine, producing 151 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a four-speed manual transmission and feeds power to the rear wheels via twin SU-type carburetors. It’s a well-balanced combination that gives the car responsive acceleration and a thrilling driving experience. Power front disc brakes and rear drum brakes provide solid stopping power, making this Datsun a joy to drive. The exterior shines in its eye-catching gold finish, highlighted by a black center stripe that gives the car a sleek look. The “Datsun” badging on the front fenders and the iconic “Z” emblem on the sail pillar add to the car’s signature style. Konig 8-spoke wheels with a brushed lip complete the aggressive stance, wrapped in radial tires for a balanced ride. Inside, the brown and black two-tone interior remains in overall good condition, maintaining that classic 70s vibe. The dash features essential gauges like the temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel, with the tachometer and speedometer placed directly in front of the driver for easy viewing. The Jeco clock adds a touch of nostalgia, completing the functional yet stylish interior. The Datsun 240Z was named the second-best sports car of the 1970s by Sports Car International in 2004, right alongside Ferraris and Lamborghinis.
