q-tip Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I like the first drawing of the blue car, looks like the back half of an F-10 roof just put on a z Quote Link to comment
Eomund Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Makes me think of the Harold and Maude car Quote Link to comment

Eomund Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Obviously haven't seen the movie lol. Ya, it's an e-type hearse custom made for the film. I think it looks pretty cool myself. Both the Datsun and the E-Type. ^^is that an e-type hearse? Quote Link to comment
hosestop@msn.com Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 But can you imagine cutting a roof off a new car and re-welding on a roof ! Much work . Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 You guys should check out the movie , it would explain alot about the jaguar hearse.... alot On subject of 280 family truckster,,,,,, they should have put the huge bumpers on it , just to make it a complete fail. I would think they should have also at least just dropped it on top of F150 frame with 44" mudders on it ,, so to make it an easier sale in rural , Idaho. Quote Link to comment
Power Tryp Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Oh man I love this. In the picture with the concept drawing there's some serious Volvo 1800es window and wheel arch thing going on which makes it kinda boring. The curved quarter glass is more exciting even if it does fall away on the top to conform to the door glass line. Also I think this is a case where a vinyl roof might actually be preferable than how it is right now. Quote Link to comment
Eomund Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Ya, seeing the movie will put the car into context. With the fail comment, gonna say not a fan?

Forget that man. with all the modern bracing and what not, and the fact modern cars are 50% or more poly materials, that would be a stupid amount of work.

bananahamuck Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 With the fail comment, gonna say not a fan? Yeah that would be an understatement,, to me it is a goofy looking 2+2 stretched out like those mustang/ camaro ones that were built,, and forgotten because,, well they sucked. Oh those that say " But it was built by the famous blah, blah, blah" ..WELL to that I say,, if Michelangelo drew a stickman penis on a white board,, would it be put up in a museum with as much reverence as statue of David?

yellowdatsun Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I like the original Mustang wagon, the Volvo P1800 wagons, and the blue Z concept drawing, but I don't care for the real life execution of the Z concept. It's ugly. I really like "shooting brakes" too, just not a fan of this one. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 P1800 wins hands down!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment
Power Tryp Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 P1800 wins hands down!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unless it's in the corners, or on the straight away or well, anywhere performance is concerned. But yes the 1800ES is much prettier. Quote Link to comment

Lonestar Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 2014 ZCON: Z fans, a BIG surprise will be revealed on Aug 7th!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 Fairl...ady, 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 station wagon. However, only 2+2 version became production car 5 years later.48 years later, Mr. Matsuo helped Jay Ataka to bring this special Z to reality. This car 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. Hate it, like it...for one man, his dream came true at long last. Sometimes people come up with good ideas and bad ideas but I respect those who at least see it through to the end, no matter how long it takes. Quote Link to comment
Eomund Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Dunno, I dig it. I think it's interesting at the very least. Sort of 'so ugly it's cute' if you know what I mean. 1 Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Fuck me running, I love wagons, and that is the ugliest thing next to the Gremlin I've seen. Blech. 1 Quote Link to comment
maltese Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 It is pretty ugly. Not my cup of tea. Craftsmanship looks purt good, though, from the pics. Glad the builder accomplished his goal. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 There's one just down the island from me. Hainz you're right the P1800 hands down better looking than that Z. There's always someone trying to revise history with 'this is what should/could have been'. Like the world would miss a '69 GTO station wagon, or a Stingray goon. In what string theory alternate dimension would a two seater sports car ever be offered as a goon?????? 1 Quote Link to comment
