History of the car:

This Z was built by Tom Wyatt III (aka Turbo Tom) for the previous owner who is an avid sportscar collector and racer.  The project began after the previous owner traded his way into a Daytona SCCA race in Jim Fitzgerald’s Z.  He won the race and received Datsun factory parts in return.  On the way home from the race, he purchased this car and shipped it to Tom’s shop in Atlanta to be converted into a street sleeper and track car.  The car was built specifically to run for fastest time of the day honors at the Mitty (Road Atlanta), with the project beginning around 1980 and finishing around 1984.  The car did take fastest time of the day and remains unchanged since the mid-80’s and is very nostalgic.
