DESCRIPTION
Get ready to experience the thrill of driving this fierce 1970 Datsun 240Z Series 1. Its sleek, muscular body is cloaked in a mesmerizing red paint with a heavy dose of gold flake that dances in the sunlight. The aggressive front splitter, short Japanese market bumpers, rear louvers, and subtle hatch wing all contribute to its unapologetic sportiness. This Z rides on 15-inch Rota alloy wheels, wrapped in 205/60R15 Hankook Optimo H724 tires from 2016 that grip the road with tenacity.
As you open the door, you\'re welcomed by a masterfully modernized interior. The confetti-patterned bucket seats from a \'91 CRX hug you tight, while the black and red vinyl-clad steering wheel and shift knob beg to be gripped. The Alpine stereo, fat mat sound deadening, and strategically placed speakers create an immersive audio experience. Keep an eye on the AEM AFR gauge, cleverly mounted on the steering column, to stay in tune with your ride\'s performance.
The 2.8L L28 powerplant sourced from a 280Z. Rebuilt with an overbore, flat-top pistons, and mated to 280ZX heads. Dual SU carbs, a custom fresh air intake, and an aluminum radiator keep it breathing deep and running cool. The power flows through a rebuilt 280Z 5-speed manual trans and rear end, both ready to handle whatever you throw at them. Eibach springs, KYB struts, Energy Suspension bushings, upgraded sway bars, and coilovers ensure this Z corners like it\'s on rails. And when it\'s time to rein it in, the Toyota 4x4 pickup twin-piston calipers up front and power drums out back have your back.
