that's really cool
thanks for your time!

[@supra1722]

MUST be! the original cars are worth MILLIONS, literally.

[@supra1722]

the Ray with the 1784whp UGR car that went 8.3 @181? and the yellow record breaking Miami Mile Ford GT with $1+million into R&D? along with a bunch of other bad ass cars
thanks!

Don't wet your pants. It's a Datsun 240Z under a fiberglass shell. Still, pretty cool.

[@G8GTJav]

LOL. Ray must be a character. A lot quicker/faster than I thought it would be. Built off a 280Z w/ LS power?

[@supra1722]

is this the same Ray i'm thinking of? Mr. Hoffman?
any details on the setup?

[@carlitocacf]

Yes,very cool..

[@uRaceIfilm]

Not sure on exact engine/turbo setup.

[@toml.8210]

It's a decent at the conversion, but I like the original-style tail lights, and they didn't put any chrome numbers or logos on the back. You can still see the Datsun centre console, and Veglia didn't make engine tachys with knobs for the shift light. I just don't care for a twin-turbo-anything in a vintage car, since there weren't any then, and only fir airplanes when they were invented.

this thing is a space ship

[@uRaceIfilm]

Not sure, I only met him once, forgot his last name. Saw under the hood once but it was only briefly so can't say much.

[@Manitu0]

This is a kit car... a good one at that. The back end isn't correct.
The last 250 GTO to be sold was in 2013 and sold for $52 Million Dollars. Only 39 were ever produced.

Oh thank gosh was about have a heart attack but I see what you men

[@uRaceIfilm]

Definitely not that Ray, this guy is in his 60's-70's, which is also makes the car even cooler.

[@uRaceIfilm]

Datsun Kit car maybe?

[@JohnWashington-ztrix]

Ray Pezzi, great guy. Sadly the car was destroyed in a fire, but Ray is building another one! www.ZTrix.com

[@uRaceIfilm]

John Washington Sad to hear.

[@supra1722]

[@RadCarDude]
