M3 Swapped Update: 1971 Datsun 240Z

10/11/2016 Update: Just over two years later, and this 1971 Datsun 240Z is back on the market, this time with an asking price. The car itself presents as a decent driver with so-so cosmetics, but what really caught our attention was its unusual swap. It’s still straight-six powered, but now packs a BMW S50 from a second-gen M3, rather than the original 2.4 liter Datsun. With twice as many cams, valves, and 600cc or so of added displacement, power is up significantly to 240 HP and 225 lb ft, and though in need of some repairs and finishing work, we dig the concept and think it could be worth finishing to a higher standard. Find it here on Craigslist in Newnan, Georgia for $8,500.
