"240Z   Sports cars are common; legendary sports cars are rare. Chevrolet&amp;#039;s Corvette. Porsche&amp;#039;s 911. Jaguar&amp;#039;s E-Type. And Nissan&amp;#039;s Z. Since October of 1969, when the 1970 Datsun 240Z made its debut in American showrooms, Nissan has sold more than 1.5 million Z cars \u2014 making the Z the world&amp;#039;s best-selling sports car. The first Z&amp;#039;s formula for success was classically simple: A 2.4-liter inline 6-cylinder engine, 4-wheel independent suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, all wrapped in a 2-seat body styled with crisp, distinctive and enduring lines. And the price tag? $3,526. Which instantly established the 240Z as the affordable alternative to those other legendary sports cars. Building on its triumphs in the showrooms, the Z also took on the competition at the race track. The Z won its first SCCA C-Production Class national championship in 1970 \u2014 and continued to take the title every year through 1979.
