I am posting this as another landmark day for the "Datsun 240Z" as it was judged best in class, Sports and GT 1965-1976, against 9 other cars (6 were Porsches) at the 2014 Pinehurst Concours. The event was held yesterday, at the Pinehurst Golf Resort with a very elaborate field of cars. The judges were from many well known concours like Pebble Beach and Amelia Island. I had the chance to talk with many current and past owners of Z's and hopefully some are on this site.

Cool!

Lots of pictures of the cars at sportscardigest.com web site.

Outstanding! It looks right at home there. Congratulations.

I think I can see the reflection of the grass in your gas tank in that shot on page 6! That tells me what the rest of the car looks like up close. Stunning.

Hi,

For those who would like to soak up a little more Z history and glory, there is a very nice write up in the Summer edition of Hagerty magazine.

Cheers,

George

Pretty amazing! Thanks for all your hard work on this car and the recognition and respect it has earned. We are all going to benefit in one small way or another from your effort.

Well deserved, Bob. Congratulations!

Until we meet, again, on the field!

Class 8 Sports and GT Cars 1965 to 1976

Winner: 1972 Datsun 240Z owned by Robert Speights by Nashville, Tenn.

Second Place: 1965 Porsche 356C owned by Tim Herman, Hickory, N.C.

Third Place: 1970 Porsche 911S owned by William C. “Rusty” Russ, Jacksonville, Fla.

The only problem with the Hagerty article is that "The 240Z has its roots in a 1964 design penned by Albrecht Goertz..." FWIW.

You will have to send Hagerty the **** Avery video.

Saw the write-up on Sports Car Digest. Congrats, Bob!

Congrats! Time to update your signature!
