Where is this car now? Around when was this car built? Very curious!

 

 

 

The Cider Z article was published in 1975 and the car that was modified was a 1972 Z so the wagon version was built sometime between 1972 and 1975.  I haven't seen any other mention of that car in the last 40 years. Perhaps one of the board members has seen it at a car show sometime over the years...

Thank you very much for your info!

I would like to buy this magazine if I could figure out the title and year/issue.

I really like to find the car too!

It would be our Phantom Z Sport Wagon's relative!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They used a couple of 2+2 260Z to make this one.....

FYI - The Amazon link takes you to the Second Edition - the Cider Z article was in the First Edition - also listed on Amazon here.  The PDF file link is good and takes you to the First Edition.

So what prices do these fetch in japan?

This one had a buy it now price of 21,000 usd but he had no bids. This particular one came with a G18  4 cylinder engine. So its not a rocket ship.

No morticians license required to own one of these beauties.

 

Or if you're so inclined to make you own wagon out of a 280z this may inspire you.

For those that are unfamilar with the Jaguar XKE Wagon above:  It was a custom made prop for the quirkie cult film "Harold and Maude", staring Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon.  One of Ruth Gordon's finest performances. 

 

Its on my top 10 list.
