HISTORY/PRESENTATION:
Launched in the early 1970s, the Datsun 240Z (S30) revolutionized the sports car market with its elegant styling and a high-performing inline-6 engine. This 1972 example was imported from the United States to France in 2017. Reacquired by the current owner in 2019, the vehicle has undergone a complete Restomod restoration, blending the classic 1970s design with modern technology. The odometer shows about 3,000 kilometers since completion (roughly 240,000 km on the odometer before restoration) .
BODYWORK/PAINT:
Fully restored body with the chassis on a rotisserie, chromate-phosphating treatment, and very high-quality paint in a specific shade.
Carbon fiber elements are present inside and outside, and all fasteners have been replaced.
Modern front and rear lighting with new headlights and taillights fitted with high-performance LED bulbs.
INTERIOR:
Fully custom-made upholstery entirely new, crafted by a leather-and-Alcantara trimmer.
Modern Speedhut dashboard instrumentation.
A half-roll bar installed at the rear of the cabin.
MECHANICS:
Original matching-numbers inline-6 engine rebuilt, conversion from carburetors to programmable electronic injection with 6 ITB intake trumpets and full stainless exhaust system, which adds about 30 horsepower DIN, bringing power to 160 HP DIN from the original 130.
Five-speed manual transmission.
Completely new braking system (Wilwood four-piston calipers with 300 mm discs at the front, conversion to 300 mm discs at the rear) .
Adjustable coilovers and new front and rear suspension components. The vehicle starts without difficulty and can cover any distance.
DOCUMENTS:
French collection registration in the seller’s name.
Full appraisal file.
Photo dossier documenting the restoration from A to Z (about 1,000 photos) .
The latest technical inspection date is October 9, 2025; since the car is on a collection registration, the inspection is valid for 5 years.
The vehicle can be inspected and picked up on site. Delivery on a trailer or arrangements for export abroad are possible at the buyer’s expense. Transfer of ownership or export administrative procedures remain the buyer’s responsibility.
