Asthetic 240ZG

Recently a friend of mine was interested in purchasing a Nissan 240 ZG.

It is often the forgotten S30, as the 432 and 432R overshadowed it.

"The Japan-only HS30-H Nissan Fairlady ZG was released in Japan in October 1971 to homologate the 240Z for Group 4 racing. Differences between the Fairlady ZG and an export market Datsun 240Z include an extended fiberglass ‘aero-dyna’ nose, wider over-fenders riveted to the body, a rear spoiler, acrylic glass headlight covers and fender mounted rear view mirrors. The Fairlady ZG was available in three colours: Grande Prix Red, Grande Prix White and Grande Prix Maroon. The "G" in Fairlady ZG stands for "Grande." Although the ZG was not sold in the USA and was never sold outside Japan, in order for it to be eligible for competition in the U.S., Nissan sold the nose kit as a dealer's option which is known as the "G-nose". With the nose added, these 240Zs are often referred to as 240ZGs, outside of Japan." - Wikipedia

Here are few beautiful vintage shots a 240ZG in the late 70s.

This beauty awaits its turn on the track. Absolutely stunning.

Another 240ZG going head to head with a old school Mazda RX-3 Rotary.
