I was at the Tokyo Auto Show in Nov 71, saw the 72 burgundy 240ZG on display. I took a couple of pics of the ZG, didn't see anything of Minto powered Z. Maybe a different model?

gold man, great read in the morning. truly what goes around, comes around.

haven't heard anything on this at all, but really excited to learn about it! thanks

The #2 link shows a wagon maybe 510. I guess this project must have went to the storage

room.

"Wallace Minto devised a steamer which used fluorocarbon fluid instead of water and interested Nissan in it. But it never saw production."

btw the $20 coffee maker in the ad in the first link (Palm Beach Post Aug 1970) is now ~$40..... Can you imagine if gas, food, and cars only doubled in price since then?

What is Minto powered today.

Is it like the railroad locomotives in the old days, you have to have a guy in the back shoveling coal?
