ZCON 2014 NEWS
Mid 1960s’, before the first generation Fairlady Z, known as Datsun 240Z in
US, came out, Mr. Matsuo and his design team already had concept cars for next the
generation of Fairlady, known as Datsun Roadster in US. Mr. Katayama, president of
Nissan USA at the time, gave “go sign” for the production of the Z cars when he first
met Mr. Matsuo at Nissan Design center in Yokohama. As designing progressed toward production, design team came up with variation of this special sport car: GT
Racing version, Targa top, Convertible, Coupe with notch back, 2+2, and the station
wagon. However, only 2+2 version became production car 5 years later.
47 years later, Mr. Matsuo helped Jay Ataka to bring this special Z to reality. This
story is about passion, history, and pursuing a beautiful automobile design. Mr. Matsuo
will be at presentation of this special car at Z Con 2014 in San Diego, CA in August.

Litke was the artist behind the camera. (not this photos he’s are real good).
This car won it's class at the 2006 West Coast
Nissan Z Nationals competing against 70 others in it's class and looks as it did then. The
interior is spotless, exterior is flawless. Turbo
wheels have been re-chromed, tires have 3/4
life left. Doesn't leak a drop of oil, new radiator, cold A/C, popcharger air cleaner, underdrive pulley, KYB Gas Shocks, Brembo rotors, stainless brake lines. Pioneer head unit,
iPod ready, 4-6x9 speakers, 10" subwoofer
and 900 watt amp. Always garaged with car
cover. You must see this car to believe it!
There simply isn't a nicer 300ZX anywhere.
It's been babied, ask the guys in the ZCSD!
