Today’s post concerns another meaningful 280zx restoration that we are undertaking right now. This car started it’s life as a normal ZX but was put under the knife to receive extensive modifications almost immediately. It is now a collector’s item and a truly special car to the Z faithful.
This car runs a vintage “blow through” turbocharged and intercooled 3.1L engine that breathes through Mikuni 44mm carburetors. It is truly a unique setup that allowed Jim Cook to make great power even with the limited technology available at the time.
This car is soon to be under attack from the ZCG assembly crew as we have just received a slew of parts from our powder and ceramic facilities. Expect to see some posts on this project in the next few weeks as things come together.
There are more pictures and more background info on the 280zx Turbo after the “read more.” The owner was also gracious enough to gather some information on the car and Jim Cook himself and send it in to us here at zcarblog.com
