Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Gorgeous 1973 Datsun 240Z California Z car lovingly maintained by one family for 34 years. In 1970, Datsun entered the sports car scene with the introduction of the 240Z. With its torque straight 6 power plant, manual gearbox, light weight, and Ferrari/ Jaguar/ Porsche inspired looks, the 240Z it provided consumers with a very high spirited motoring experience at half the cost of the 911. 1973 is a particularly desirable year for Z Car enthusiasts as it was the last production year for the 240Z (the 260Z was introduced in 1974.) This California car has been pampered by the same family since ordered new in San Jose, California. Upon the death of the original owner in 2002, this beauty was willed to his son, who lovingly garaged and maintained it as his father had done. In August of 2007 this beautiful car was transferred to an estate located in Rogers, AR. Upon arrival in Arkansas, it was checked out by the Landers McLarty Nissan Dealership in Bentonville, AR. The condition was so good, the dealership owner requested that we place this timepiece in their showroom for a year from 2007 to 2008. In 2008, this car was transferred to the estate garage. It has been only been taken out to a handful of car shows and to be detailed. Additional details:NOTICE: RE-POSTING.
