It was probably the first sports car from the Far East that car lovers from all over the world took to their hearts and paved the way for the global success of Asian car brands. We're talking about the Datsun Z, a legendary sports coupé from the early 70s that is considered the forerunner of today's Nissan Z models. At that time, the company Nissan still operated under the brand name Datsun, which was revived a few years ago. However, the brief revival was unsuccessful and Datsun was buried again. Today we want you one Datsun 260Z off 1974 imagine watching on the auction platform Bring a trailer is auctioned, has 85.000 miles (approx. 136.794 km) on the odometer, and comes up with contemporary tuning.
Sporty piece of gold!
The first thing that falls is the golden lacquer of the Datsun applied by the current owner. It harmonizes perfectly with the golden 15-inch Enkei rims, which are reminiscent of BBS wheels with their honeycomb pattern. The polished chrome-look wells of the JDM rims are also a pleasant change from the vehicle's golden components. Front and rear spoilers have also been added by the current owner who bought the vehicle in 2021 as an unfinished restoration project and completely rebuilt it. All vehicle components are either completely new or overhauled. For example, the car has a completely new steering column. Furthermore, LED headlights were installed, which ensure a much better light output at night.
The interior has been completely redesigned!
The reconditioned interior got new ones Sports Seats and the door panels were replaced. In addition, Dynamatinsulation added for better noise isolation. The control buttons for the windshield wipers and the headlight range control have also been relocated to the center console or under the steering column. A 2,6 liter naturally aspirated petrol engine with six cylinders does its job! The in-line six with a displacement of 2,6 liters, which was equipped with three Weber carburetors, is also not standard and should deliver significantly more than the standard 126 hp & 190 Newton meters of maximum torque. Unfortunately we don't have exact details. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox.
