Model Car Garage - 1969 Datsun 240Z Model Kit By Revell - A Model Car Unboxing Video

The Datsun 240Z was in many ways a milestone for the young Japanese auto industry in the 1960's as it was one of the first cars designed specifically for the American market. Today on the Monster Hobbies Model Car Garage we will be looking at the 1969 Datsun 240Z Model Kit By Revell. A model car unboxing video. Up to that point, Datsun, Toyota and to a lesser extent, Honda, were exporting small, fuel efficient 4 cylinder cars to export markets including the U.S. they were known for their tight engineering and solid reliability. They were also known for one other common trait - they were boring. Compaired to the tire melting horsepower american automakers were dispensing, the Japanese makes did not have "pizzazz" of the domestic makes. Datsun knew that in order to make an impression on the American driving public, they needed a vehicle that, along with the qualitites that the imports were known for, would be quick, handle well and most importantly, look sharp. Datsun had hired as a consultant a German-born gentleman named Albrecht Goertz. While certainly not known by name to Americans, he was one of the contributors of such groundbreaking designs as the Studebaker Starliner of the '50's, the BMW 507 sports car and the Porsche 911. With Goertz's ideas as a nucleus, Datsun stylists came up with a winner. the 240Z, first introduced in 1969 as a 1970 model, boasted sharply-edged American influenced lines. Two cylinders were added to Datsun's existing and proven 1600 cc four cylinder engine, creating a straight six of just under 2400cc developing 150 horsepower. Large in physical size, the big six required a long hood be incorporated in the body design, perfect for the long-hood, short-deck sporty cars Americans were buying in large numbers. Along with all-independent suspension, quick ratio rack & pinion steering and front disc breaks, the two-seater 240Z more than held it's own in the American marketplace. This Revell-Monogram kit captures the excitement of the first Z car and features highly detailed engine & drivetrain, platform style interior and tuner-style decals. Brock Racing Enterprises was a cutting edge racing and design team of the early seventies. The team was one of the first in America to use imported Toyotas, Hinos and Datsun's. Pete Brock, founder of BRE, modified the Datsun economy car, turning it into a two-time National 2.5 Trans-Am Championship Winner. The Revell 85-2392 1969 Datsun 240Z model kit originally came out in 1971 in the form you see here, minus the "Tuner" decals. In it's full history, the model came out 9 times, but only 3 times as a factory stock 240Z. The other issues were as the Pete Brock BRE Datsun 240Z race car and experienced a box art change in 1972. The kit was reboxed again in stock formation in 1979 by a company called "Advent" with tools under loan from Revell, and then in this box in 2002 without the "Pete Brock BRE Datsun 240Z" reference. This edition came with new decals for the popular Tuner trend of the era. Kit features a full interior and engine, racing suspension with positional front wheels, molded in white and clear with chrome parts and soft black tires, includes decals. The Revell 85-2392 1969 Datsun 240Z model kit includes a 13 piece motor, interior with separate door panels, bucket seats, rear bench seat, dash board and steering wheel. You get a choice of 2 complete decal sets to make 2 different style of tuner cars. This is a great kit that is fun to build.
