a 280z restoration one morning at a time
I created a poster for the 8th Annual Datsloco event on May 4th up in Manteca. A good friend said to me that there’s nothing like a flyer / poster to help make the event for real and get people excited!
Hope all the Datsun owners can come out and enjoy this great event!
What? It’s already been a year since the last Datsloco Event?
Well, not exactly – the last Datsloco was in Oct. 2012. THIS year it’s going to be May 4th – height of da summer!

And that’s Datsloco.
This past Sunday, I get a text from my brother: willow glen classic car show.
To which i responded: i’m there.
Willow Glen’s Cruise for a Cause car show has been about family, fun, a food drive and, of course, classic cars. And I was hearing it has been for over 50 years. This was truly a wonderful spectacle of classic cars ranging from oddities (like the purple Henry J) to the wild (a Jag E-type…w/ NOS). And believe it or not, it was the first car show the 280z has ever been to!
Despite the Z being a spectator, I gotta mention, it got plenty of looks / comments. No sooner than a minute after parking did a friendly guy named John come over w/ his girl and family. “Hey, you’ve gotta park next to me”, he smiles out. See, John rolled over to the car show in his red 240z. :]
I got there around 1, but for the few hours it took to roll around all the cars, we were the only two w/ Z cars. Actually, it might even be safe to say, the only two vintage Japanese cars from what i saw! Not a bad thing – we certainly stood out among the gorgeous Caddies, awesome Ford Duces and the rest of the American muscle that dominated the show. 280z’s first show, but certainly not it’s last! On to some pics!
John just picked up this fantastic lookin 240z after getting t-boned in his 280zx. Lucky he’s unharmed and even luckier he now drives a 240z.
While rockin’ the fender flares and mirrors (a look originally on the Japanese version), the American Racing rims keep it USDM grounded.
Definitely a head turning daily driven, daily datsun!
Additionally it sported Fairlady Z badges and a stacked Monza exhaust.
Amazing rims on this Caddie
Check out the underside! Notice where the rotors are?
Gorgeous Chevy truck interior – simply gorgeous
My favorite car of the show – all business
Check out that jeweled suicide knob! At least you can loose your thumb in style.
This Barracuda was jet black and easily one of the best cars there.
You could squeeze the flyer under here, that’s about it.
I like interior shots, especially this Corvette’s.
Z Owners of Northern California (ZONC) are having their Annual Car Show at the Brisbane Marina on July 28th, 2012!
Wow, that first sentence just sums it all up. There’ll be plenty of 240Z, 260Z, 280Z, 350Z and 370Z cars you can shake a stick at, with a special section just for the older cars. Of course plenty of 510’s, Datsun Roadsters, G35 coupes and GT-Rs will also be there in full force. I won’t be entering in 280Z just yet (plus i don’t want to spend 5 hrs there), but I’ll certainly be there to check it out. Should be a blast to see what everyone’s done with their Z cars up close and personal.
