Price: US $26,900.00 Item location: Livingston, New Jersey, United States
Description:

1971 Datsun Z-Series

One owner for the last 47 years, this car was purchased new at Arrel Datsun in Hillside, NJ in April 1971. It is one of thelastof the Series I-240Z cars with excellent provenance to back it up.
According to the Internet Z Car Club at www.zhome.com, the last Series I car reported is VIN#HLS30-20533. This car is VIN#HLS30-20520 which places this car in the final week of production for the Series I Datsun 240Z. For that fact alone, it is very rare car, but to have survived in NJ for all this time in this condition is unheard of in the Northeast. Most of the Northeast Z cars are long gone, parted out, rusted out, V8 swapped, but this car is a testament to the one owner's passion for preserving this iconic Z car in a truly stunning color combination.
