π Why This Z Stands Out:
Few sports cars defined the 1970s like the Datsun 240Z β elegant, quick, and incredibly fun to drive. With its lightweight chassis, silky-smooth inline-six, and timeless design, it was Japanβs 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.
π‘ A turn-key classic thatβs ready to drive, show, or simply admire β this 240Z is one of those cars that continues to rise in both appreciation and value.
