Zulaytr Posted May 6, 2014 Share #1 Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited May 6, 2014 by Zulaytr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zKars Posted May 6, 2014 Share #4 Posted May 6, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonzi Lon Posted May 7, 2014 Share #9 Posted May 7, 2014 The only problem with the Hagerty article is that "The 240Z has its roots in a 1964 design penned by Albrecht Goertz..." FWIW.Bonzi Lon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
