26th-Z Posted August 12, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 12, 2014 Thanks for the video links. Very well done videos. I wasn't at the convention and have to say that I was skeptical when I first saw the photographs. Even called up a friend at the convention to ask what the hell. The car resembles the original Matsuo sketches I have, but not the same. "Making the Z Sport Wagon" really answers my questions and I can see how much influence - genuine influence - the design has from Matsuo san. My hat is off to the project team for taking on a very unique project...and pulling it off!

xs10shl Posted August 13, 2014 Share #3 Posted August 13, 2014 I saw this car in person at the show, and although it was not identical to some original designs, I personally thought the final product presented was an improvement, stylistically. The curved 3/4 window maintained the "Z"ness of the overall shape quite well, IMHO. Congratulations on achieving the goal.

Matsuo san and I changed the rear section so that we could keep some of the roof line of 2+2 instread of camper -shell design from 70s' The car is actually shorter, much lighter, and lower than US Spec Coupe Model. Please take alook at this.

bacarl Posted August 14, 2014 Share #6 Posted August 14, 2014 What a cool project! The interior looks great with the wood trim, etc. Were the seats custom upholstered?

Montezuma Posted August 14, 2014 Share #7 Posted August 14, 2014 Jay, Thank you so much for unveiling your fine car at ZCON 2014 in beautiful San Diego CA; you are what made this ZCON most likely the best ever. Seeing the crowd gather around the car a week ago was a crowning moment. Matsuo-san's dream came to be reality thanks to you, how special was it having him there to see see it unvieled....it was a magical time. Look forward to seeing you up at JCCS; Rich and I will be driving up in twin SPL 311s, mine a 67 and his a 70. Thank you again.
