1973 Datsun 240Z 4-Speed

This 1973 Datsun 240Z was sold new from ABC Datsun in Phoenix, Arizona, and later became the subject of a multi-year refurbishment completed in 1997. Refinished in red over black leather upholstery, the car is powered by a 2.4-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. It rolls on 15″ König alloy wheels and is further equipped with front disc brakes, revised sway bars, a woodgrain steering wheel, a Hitachi push-button radio, and a PerTronix ignition system.

As part of the aforementioned refurbishment in the 1990s, various body panels were repaired, and the car underwent a color change from Blue Metallic (115) to its current shade of red. Details include a left-side mirror, Z badging on the C-pillars, bright window trim, and chrome-finished bumpers with rubber overriders and end caps.

The 15″ König alloy wheels are wrapped in 205/50 Yokohama Advan Fleva tires. The car was factory equipped with an independent suspension, and aftermarket sway bars have been installed. Braking is provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums, and the fluid was flushed in March 2026.

The bucket seats were retrimmed in black leather, and NoiseKiller sound-deadening material has been added under the replacement carpets. Appointments include 240Z-branded floor mats, a wooden shift knob, wind-up windows, and a push-button Hitachi AM/FM radio.

The woodgrain steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline. An analog clock and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, amperage, and fuel level are housed over the center stack. The hazard lights do not work. The five-digit odometer is said to have been reset during the refurbishment in the 1990s and now shows 8k miles.
