AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This superb Datsun is in concours condition, undergoing a full restoration completed in 2020.
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Original engine prepared with programmable electronic injection and 6 ITB throttle bodies
• Complete Restomod restoration (rotisserie-treated chassis, new suspension and brakes)
• Speedhut instrumentation and custom leather and Alcantara upholstery
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.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
