🌟 1972 Datsun 240Z — 3-Owner Southern California Survivor! 🌟

Lime w/Black Interior • 2.4L/150hp I6 • 4-Speed Manual Transmission

This beautiful 3-owner SoCal “Z” has lived its entire life under the California sun, cherished and meticulously maintained since new.

🏁 Why This Z Stands Out:

Few sports cars defined the 1970s like the Datsun 240Z — elegant, quick, and incredibly fun to drive. With its lightweight chassis, silky-smooth inline-six, and timeless design, it was Japan’s answer to the E-Type and 911, but at a fraction of the cost.

This particular example captures everything enthusiasts love about the early Z-cars: originality, SoCal provenance, and just the right blend of patina and preservation.

💡 A turn-key classic that’s ready to drive, show, or simply admire — this 240Z is one of those cars that continues to rise in both appreciation and value.
