Welcome to vintage JDM heaven, as a collection of ’70s Datsun Z cars heading to auction courtesy of Bring a Trailer have just surfaced.
As the world gears up for the wider rollout of the Nissan 400Z, interest in Z cars is at an all-time high. Couple that with the ever-growing love for all things JDM, subsequently driving up the prices of models like the Nissan Skyline GT-R and the Toyota Supra, and BaT’s new collection offering is enough to whet the appetite of any true petrolhead.
That’s because there’s not one, not two, but six Z cars from the ’70s on offer. In this collection you’ll find a 1970 Datsun 240Z Series I, 1976 Datsun 280Z 2+2, 1973 Datsun 240Z, 1977 Datsun 280Z 4-Speed, 1974 Datsun 260Z, and a 1973 Datsun 240Z — and all of them are in mint condition.
Examples like the 280Z 2+2 have just 2,500 miles on the odometer, with its original “Ice Blue” over black vinyl upholstery appearing as good as new. Likewise, the Series I 240Z has been given an extensive refurbishment to keep it looking fresh, while elsewhere in the collection we find a rainbow of hues evocative of this generation and era.
Bring a Trailer will be selling each of the Z cars individually, which started on November 28. Head over to BaT to find out more about the cars and read an interview it conducted with the cars’ current owner.
