Participants in the project are as unlikely as the subject matter, but it all seems to come together very well!

Wow that looks pretty damn nice!  I'm glad to see a classic Datsun at the SEMA show, wow!!!

Nice! That is the first 2+2 that I can say I really like. Would have been better off to go with an RB 25 or 26 In my opinion, a Zed has to have a straight six! Look forward to watching that episode of Gas Monkey!

A principal player in the SEMA 2+2 build, "Big Mike" gives a detailed video tour of the car.

 

2+2? Never! Abomination!....
but I LOVE this car! Can’t reconcile my feelings.

I'd drive it.

It's a good looking car and well done. Although its a four banger...

Buuuuutttt, they took a 13k mile car and restomodded it???

Yeah that's unfortunate. Would have been better to keep the L6 and build it. 

Ouch.

From what I remember the car never sold.  It was on eBay but they ended the sale.  I think they thought it was worth $80,000.  Then it was on the Gas Monkey site as For Sale but nothing happened if you clicked.  Maybe they burned it for the show.

This car was burned down in a trailer fire. https://gasmonkeygarage.com/gas-monkeys-280z-goes-up-in-flames/

oh well a survivor gets the treatment, then goes up in flames. Wonder if it was insured for 80k?
