The 260Z The 260Z was sold in the United States for the 1974 model year only, but was available in other countries until 1978 (aside from Japan, where this model was never regularly available except for in Okinawa). The engine was enlarged to 2.6 L by lengthening its stroke bringing with it the new model code RS30 . In the US, federal emissions regulations forced a reduction in ignition timing and compression ratio, resulting in a lower power output of 139 hp (104 kW) SAE net for the 260Z despite the additional displacement, whereas in other countries the power output increased to 165 hp (123 kW). There was also a 1974.5 model sold through the second half of 1974 in the US that had the full 165 hp with the addition of the larger 5 mph safety bumpers, that would become the standard for the 280Z. A four-speed or 5 speed (non US) manual remained standard equipment, with a three-speed automatic transmission optional. A 2+2 model built on a 300 mm (11.8 in) longer wheelbase was introduced, with larger opening quarter panel windows and a slightly notched roofline. The 2+2 looked largely identical inside (aside from the rear seat and its associated seat belt reels), but did receive a carpeted transmission tunnel rather than the quilted vinyl material used on the two-seater. [13] The rear side windows on the 2+2 were push-out units, to add ventilation for rear seat occupants. [13] The 260Z claimed a few updates and improvements over the 240Z. The climate controls were more sensibly laid out and easier to work, and those cars with air conditioning now had the A/C system integrated into the main climate control panel. There was also additional stiffness in the chassis due to a redesign of the chassis rails which were larger and extended further back than previous models. A rear sway bar was added as well. The 260Z debuted a redesigned dashboard and console, as well as new seat trim, and door panels for the interior. The tail lights were updated, moving the back up lights from the main tail light housing to the back panel. Early 1974 US 260Z models had bumpers that resembled those of the earlier 240Z, though increased slightly in size, pushed away from the body somewhat, and wearing black rubber bumper guards rather that the previous chrome bumper guards with rubber strips. These early cars still had the front turn signals located below the bumpers. Late 1974 U.S. 260Z models (often referred to as 1974.5 models) carried the heavier bumpers that would remain on the 1975-76 model years of the 280Z so as to be in compliance with United States bumper legislation in 1973. These late cars had the front turn signals relocated to the outer edges of the front grill, above the bumper.
This Car The car was delivered new to Tewell Motors and Sales in Uniontown PA. Its cost was $5,430! The car during its whole life only traveled a little over 29,000 miles! In 2003 the car was a sold on with 24k for $10,505. This owner showed and displayed the car a lot. It was in Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car in 2007. It has a full spread in the magazine of the car. Then in 2014 the car won best of class at the Japanese car show in Long Beach CA. I bought the car in September of 2017. I put just a few miles on it since owning the car. It runs and drives great but I never wanted to drive it to much and ruin its originality.
Condition The car is in near perfect shape for its age. In the link you can see more detailed photos of the condition of the car. The car has some early receipts and service records but also includes its most recent service records. The car starts, runs, drives, and brakes just as it should. The paint is all original but it does look like the hood has been repainted at one point. It is undetectable unless you use a paint meeter. The interior of the car is just perfect! All original and all there! The dash has no cracks, the seats have no rips and it smells like a new car! The sale includes its original service manual, shop manual, and service papers. Also includes an original brochure and its magazine it was in.
