One sweet 260Z. Ive owned this car since April 1988. I'm the second owner and have many stories to tell.To the point, theres about $20K invested and then theres all my labor. It retains the in-line six, a 2.8 liter with Tripple Webber Sidedraft 40mm Carbs. A six into 3 style header blowing the gases out of a 2 1/2 inch exhaust.The motor is new, completley refinished inside and out, the valve cover is painted in a marble effect to match the color of the car.Lots of chrome,and goodies too numerous for page 1. I'm just starting this page, so hang in there and I'll try to upload more when I get more time. All I can say is it took me almost 4 years to complete this project, as I'm very meticulous and have so many other customer related jobs to do too, that I found myself taking a lot of breaks. Enjoy.

And of course the left rear, notice how the shade changes the color of this candy blue.

If you see this in your rear view mirror, you have two options...step on it, or get outta my way.

and this will be the view if you should choose the latter...

this is of course "Command Central" simple and to the point, just get in, hit the gas, keep it pointed in the right direction

These would be those Tripple Webber Carbs I mentioned earlier, along with the upper srtut brace for better cornering...

Mate one very clean 260z. Loved the fender protector and the floor mats. Given me ideas. That stone product on the center console what is it? It looks cool and I wouldn't mind using it on mine.
Oh and so go the dragon under the bonnet. It will look unreal.
