My favorite thing about my Z is it’s one of one. The car was built for the street; shows, weekend cruises, and some sporadic driving. My future plans are to modernize the interior and enjoy the car!
I purchased my Z in Quebec City, Canada. I did the entire importation process myself, and even made a YouTube video on the process which is on my channel. The car was originally from Japan and was imported to Canada the year before I purchased it. The Z was originally a non turbo in near stock form. Every nut and bolt on the car has been touched by me at some point in time, and there are very few things that are still original to the car. The body work was done by Randy Beaudoin at, who did an amazing job!
