Datsun Sports 1964-1983

Datsun sports models enjoy a strong collector following across the world and values continue to surge.

We haven’t seen anything like the record-setting prices of 2020 during recent months (US$1.17 million paid for a rare 240Z racer and $310K for a road car) but six-figure 240/260Z sales are threatening to become typical. Later 260 2+2 and 280ZXs rely more on luxury than rally-winning bravado for their appeal and both versions remain affordable at less than $30,000.

That amount should also buy an open-top Fairlady 1500 or perhaps the later 1600 Roadster, however the potent 2000 Sports is very scarce and excellent cars sell for more than $50,000.
