THE DATSUN 240Z

THE DATSUN 240Z

The Datsun 240Z came in high demand when it arrived on American soil in 1971. 2 years after its Japanese counterpart hit the roads, the 240Z brought with it a win in the 19th East-African Safari Rally and a price tag more than $1,000 less than its Volvo, Chevrolet, and Jaguar competitors.
