Datsun Sports 1964-83

If you didn’t jump into a 240Z a few years back then the chances of securing one in decent condition for under $40,000 are probably gone. Some early 240s have been advertised at double that money but typical cars aren’t there yet. Two-seat 260Zs are a little cheaper than 2.4-litre cars and more difficult to find. 2+2 versions in excellent order at $25,000 are worth having, as are rare manual versions of the 280ZX. Early Fairlady Roadsters aren’t usually in great condition and most cost less than $20,000. The reverse applies to the 2000 Sports, with neglected cars worth $30,000 and those in show-worthy condition bringing double that amount.
