Vintage Racing

EconoCarl Thursday, 10/27/2011

Has anyone seen any of the new "Vintage Racing" series on the pegs? I made rounds today and still no luck here! I'm wanting to get a few of the John Morton/BRE Datsun 510s (once owned a former Under 2.5 Trans Am 510 built by Corky Bell).

Gotta admit I wasn't aware of a vintage series. So like cars dressed up like the old school racers? That's pretty sweet. I'd love to see a Datsun Z in rally paint.

Is there a HW 240z? I'd like to have one painted up like our old ITS car.

Actually it was Scott's car in the mid to late 80s, I was the WorldWide of the group. Those are my legs hanging out of the back!

Yes, the "Z-Whiz" from 1977...although I Z-car fan, myself. My parents owned 5 of them and I learned how to drive and took my driver's test in one as a teenager. Their last Z-car was a fully restored `72 240 w/automatic & factory air. They sold it last year for $8k to an online buyer on the West coast. It was sad to see it go.

2006 First Editions Datsun 240Z. Also was a Treasure Hunt this year.

I'll have to keep an eye out for the Z also.
Really hoping to find the Morton 510 (or a few) too.

Here's a pic of this year's TH.
