On the way home I spotted a 240z:
I took some local roads to avoid traffic and I was at a stoplight when roadster drove right past me! I crossed three lanes to catch up and got behind at the light:
I was very excited. I could see the driver looking in his mirror, so I assumed he'd pull over. He did not so I followed him thinking how terrible am I for being a stalker
That roadster scooted! I had to know what was under the hood. I follow him all the way to his home and turns out it his grandfather's roadster. He said it's the only car he's ever driven that made him enjoy driving! It is a '66 SPL.
He popped the hood open and there was a 1600 (you Solex jockeys will love this) with dual Mikuni 40's!!! He made the linkage himself and a nifty cold air intake/airbox:
Lighting was bad but I tried to take lots of pics:
Then I started noticing little details here and there like this oil cooler!
Filter:
Auto-Meter Gauges:
Appliance Wheels:
And check this out, split bumpers!!!
He did not know if it was a stroker or not(or what one was) but I told him to get his grandfather on 311s.org. Sounds like really cool, ingenuitive guy. He is also restoring a 1928 Model T.
