As U.S. regulations for emissions, bumpers and other equipment tightened on all cars in that era, the 260-Z and 280-Z models that followed grew in weight and complexity, making the original 240-Z's by far the most collectible of all the Z-cars. As these cars have always been immensely popular among racers and enthusiasts alike, very few remain that haven't been modified for various motorsports activities. This stunning example is one of the very few highly original-spec 240-Z's remaining and is sure to be a standout in any automotive collection, or the prized possession gracing an enthusiast's private garage.
