What do you guys know about this one:

And this one:

$15K for a nice race-prepped 240 is almost too hard to pass up!
Cheers

The IMSA Z rolls for the first time!
Suspension is done now onto the drivetrain. The goal is to make the July 25 Laguna Seca track day for a test/tune.

Re: 1972 IMSA Datsun 240z
I think the best part of the restoration is that that 99% of the parts are original to the car as it was raced 30 years ago. The wheels, fuel cell and windows are the pretty much the only new parts!
This weekend I got to brush the aluminum door panels and fuel cell.
Before/after
Finished:
underside:
I was proud of these relatively low-bar, but rewarding projects!
I even got to use a grinder for the first time. Fun!
Wait until we get the vinyl numbers and stickers on her!

Awesome undertaking, well done guys.
Did you get that car onto that trailer without a forklift? Tight Squeeze.
body kits seldom work, except when done very well, and this is one of those.
Gorgeous, and that engine bay is art.

Re: 1972 IMSA Datsun 240z
Joel Anderson passed away 3/29. He was a talented graphic artist and Datsun race car driver. He inspired us all by racing as a privateer against factory-backed teams/cars..and winning!
I wrote a tribute to Joel on zcarblog. His spirit lives on through his #49 IMSA GTU Z and his famous C-Production Z currently being resurrected at Z Car Garage. RIP Joel!
