Randy Jaffe's BRE isn't the original, but he has the original powertrain, two of the surviving wheels, switchgear, gauges, and many of the other bits and pieces from the original car.

Dan Parkinson bought the 46 from BRE and raced it for a while until a front steering/suspension (I can't remember what exactly) failed and put the car into the wall on its left side. Dan got a 280Z from Nissan and transferred the parts to that car. Randy bought the Parkinson car a few year back to get the parts. Some of the parts just sit on display, like the powertrain. Other parts have succumbed to time, like the megaphones. (I was helping the team scrounge for parts when the megaphones gave out at the 2018 Mitty.)

The car has been recaptured in incredible detail, down to having hand-painted numbers and logos. To see it in person is to travel in a time machine back to the 70s. John Morton even gave Randy the VIN plate from the original car.

OK, I'll bite. Where is the Parkinson 280Z car then if this is not it?

Sold or still in Randy's posession?

He caught me shooting a photo of him at Road Atlanta. Boy did I get a dirty look.

Another person I know said he got the finger doing the same.

Some of that comes with the paycheck. You don't get to have your cake and eat it too!

It's in Randy's possession. He is thinking of restoring it.
