Datsun Z with Minilite-like Wheels
Datsun’s (Nissan Motor Co.) 6 cylinder sports car was introduced for 1970 as the 240-Z in the US. Its SOHC 2.4 L engine was enlarged to 2.6L then to 2.8L in the subsequent several years in order to attempt to make up for power lost in order to comply with ever-tighter emissions requirements. Concurrent with with the displacement increases came larger front and rear bumpers in order comply with increasingly stringent requirements for those as well.
This one is devoid of badging so it’s a bit difficult for me to say whether it’s a 240-Z, a 260- or 280- variety without consulting some visual references.
What I find quite attractive with this one is that the wheels have been changed to those that resemble Minilite wheels. These might be Panasport brand wheels.
