 Memory Lane: Datsun 240Z - The Car Connection
The zippy little Datsun's only real weakness was an unfortunate tendency to rust prematurely, a problem exacerbated by exposure to salty sea air during ship transport from Japan.
In 1969, Datsun (the name under which Nissan sold its cars in export markets like the U.S.) had at best a tenuous toe-hold in the North American market, which was still absolutely dominated by America's Motor City-based Big Three.
Datsun continued to refine the car and began to add luxury touches in an effort to attract buyers looking for a high-line GT.

Using Jaguar E-type styling, he set out to create and brought to market the Datsun Fairlady 1500, a convertible two-seater, and progressed slowly through a series of improvements, until he convinced management in Japan that the car would never be really successful with the Fairlady.
Then, in 1969, a final design for a newly named Datsun 240Z was introduced, with a smooth and solidly built 2393 cubic centimeter single overhead cam in-line six under its hood generating 151 hp.
By the time the last 1973 240Z was produced, Nissan has sold 116, 712 units, making this car one of the successful launches of the time, even when competing with the likes of the Toyota 2000GT, Corvette, and Austin-Healy 3000.

 Inside Line: Datsun/Nissan Z Cars -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The 240Z was the Japanese car that was so desirable in so many ways that buyers would have happily paid more for it.
Then, Datsun made an AM/FM radio standard for 1978 (with the price now at $7,968 for a coupe, a good radio should have been standard) and that was that for the original Z. After nine years, the original Z had become an icon of '70s cool and sophistication.
It was the last year for this dreary generation and the last year the Datsun name would appear anywhere on a Z car.

It wasn't much of an assignment, because Datsun vehicles were virtually unknown in America at the time, but Katayama was determined to make the best of it, and he knew exactly what he wanted to do.
Just two years earlier Katayama made a name for himself and for Datsun by lobbying for the creation of a rally team that participated in the 1958 "Around Australia Mobilgas Trial." Entering with low expectations, the Datsun team won the rally, which put Katayama's star on the rise.
The Datsun 240Z was introduced in 1969 as a 1970 model, and it became an immediate sensation.

 The 'Z' Car in Miniature 
While they continued to sell well, Datsun's roadsters were still largely based on traditional British designs which made the cars quickly grow dated in character in spite of continual changes and improvements.
Furthermore, in some countries, Datsuns were named whereas in others they were numbered and to make things even more illogical, Nissan-badged products were always named.
In the higher quality Pacesetters range, Zylmex produced a relatively accurate model of the Japanese-market Fairlady Z (alias 240Z in America and Britain) with opening doors, factory correct color schemes and a metal baseplate that is today very rare.

 Forbes.com: 1969 To 1973 Datsun 240Z   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Styled in some ways after the Jaguar XKE, the Datsun 240Z was made to compete for U.S. sales with sporty British GT convertibles and coupes.
The car was cheap--$3,526, or about $16,000 in 1999 dollars--and the demand for the 240Z was so strong that in 1970, less than a year after the car's debut, Kelley Blue Book valued used 240Zs at $4,000, well above the original sticker price.
For example, in 1973 Datsun came out with the four-seat 260Z, which had 162 horsepower, but its longer cabin made the car look ill-proportioned, and because it weighed more it wasn't as fast as the 240Z.
