1974 Datsun 260Z review from North America
"A true classic sports car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I need to replace the rear end. It has had a clunking problem since I bought it, I have the parts now though, just haven't installed them.
It has had a few electrical glitches. The tachometer doesn't work, and the headlights went out on me. The headlights are fixed now.
General comments?
I love this car! It is a dream. I can depend on it every morning to start right up and get me to work, fast.
I have after-market carburetors on it, so it isn't stock, plus new wheels.
The handling in this car leaves me breathless every time I push it. It never leaves you wishing for more.
Acceleration is astounding. Beautifully powerful motor, and great geared tranny.
