ZCarGarage may be known for working magic on Nissans/Datsuns both new and old but they also build/modify cars of different marques. This 1967 Camaro had a colorful history with it’s previous owner Tony F, a long time friend of Rob’s from Georgia. Adolfo recently purchased the car this year and plans to build it Pro-Touring-style, with some ZCG touches of course 🙂
The car is in fantastic shape an the interior was also freshened up. Stock, inline-6 cylinder will be replaced with one of GM’s LS-series V8 drivetrains

The 24 Hours of LeMons race at Thunderhill usually features wild and zany cars like these, seen at the May 8 event. Zcar owner/racer Wade W is entering a tasteful BRE-style 240z for the upcoming August 8-9 race. Wade is an accomplished road racer with 6 previous Lemons events completed and a top finish at 18th place.
Josh at ZCG helped remove the interior, every bit counts in the weight reduction process.
Stay tuned for more updates on the build-up and let’s wish the team good luck on race day!
For the last few years I have been organizing “Fun Runs” throughout the Bay Area. A fun run consists of  several Datsuns/Nissans getting together simply to enjoy driving on twisty roads. Pretty scenery, good food and company follow. Events typically last about 3-4 hrs and mileage can be anywhere from 90-200miles roundtrip. We went on a fun run last Saturday, and it was a blast!

This 1973 240z belongs to a friend of the shop, Lou S. It is a rare sight to see this Japanese-spec, Right-Hand-Drive (RHD) model with appropriate “FairladyZ” badging/lighting. The Z recently got new 3-piece, custom offset 17″ Panasport wheels. You might remember these beauties from the multiple sets ordered for the RB-240z builds.
 
These wheels allow the use of massive 255/40/17(Bridgestone RE050a) tires without major fender mods/flares. To take advantage of the larger footwork a complete Arizona Zcar suspension upgrade was installed.
The rear controls arms offer multiple points of adjustment. Struts were shortened and a Ground Control coilover kit with custom spring rates can be dialed in for any condition. Sway bars and new bushings throughout. The result is a car that stays absolutely planted in corners. It is almost begging for more power now. Triple Mikuni’s Lou? 🙂
