gnosez Posted June 9, 2016 Share #3 Posted June 9, 2016 John Coffey spent nearly a year (maybe more) preparing one of those Zs. I'm sorry his isn't around to see how all that work and effort turned out. 2 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/55589-5-zs-in-peking-to-paris/#findComment-496559 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnosez Posted June 9, 2016 Share #7 Posted June 9, 2016 It's a father and son team with a chase vehicle. Camaro struts with 600# springs I believe, seam welded, Bad Dog frame rails, a John designed cage, skid plates, roof rack, tire holders and a Rebello engine that can run on 87 octane or less if memory serves me right. And snow tires. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/55589-5-zs-in-peking-to-paris/#findComment-496618 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted June 13, 2016 Share #11 Posted June 13, 2016 If you guys happen to find photos of the event, please put them in our gallery. Some of our members do not use social media, so, I thought it would be great for those of us to share the experience. I created an album here.

Without you none of this would have been possible, and we find small (and useful) hints of your personality in this car every day."
