Photo Tribute to Nissan Fairlady Z, Datsun 240Z, 260Z and 280Z (1969-1978)
After popular demand we decided to dedicate this weekend's classic car photo tribute to Nissan's first generation Z sportscar, the ancestor of today's 370Z.
Codenamed S30 and S31 for the mid 70s facelift versions, the first Z made its Japanese market debut in November 1969 as the Nissan Fairlady Z and remained in production until 1978 when it was replaced by the Nissan / Datsun 280ZX.
Depending on the market and the engine displacement, the Fairlady Z was also sold as the Datsun 240Z, 260Z and 280Z.
