Administrators gav240z 3,005 Posted May 18, 2020 Administrators Sold in 2010 for $15,500 https://www.shannons.com.au/auctions/2010-shannons-melbourne-winter-classic-auction/G6IC56C53DWJA4MF/ Quote One of the most sought after Japanese cars ever made, the original Datsun 240Z was so good it even went back into production a second time, with the release of re-manufactured examples to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the original. The combination of attractive styling, great handling and a smooth, powerful overhead cam six-cylinder engine proved irresistible to buyers around the world, not to mention the incredibly low price. Launched in 1969, the 240Z's engine was derived from the 1600 four-cylinder and had twin side-draft single-barrel carburettors, developed 150 bhp and drove the rear wheels through a five-speed gearbox (American market cars came with a four-speed only). Independent suspension all round was via MacPherson struts at the front and Chapman struts at the rear, while disc brakes were employed for the front wheels only. The Z-car was also well made and proved remarkably durable, though the temptation to 'improve' the original design proved too strong for many and finding a good example is becoming increasingly difficult. With race proven credentials (the Z enjoyed a successful career on the international rally circuit as well), the Datsun 240Z is now a popular, not to mention affordable, choice for those getting started in historic motor sport.
