[…] * BRE built some awesome Datsun racers, among them a 240Z for Peter Brock to race in the 1972 Baja 500 (which doesn’t seem that unusual an off-road race car after seeing the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow a couple days ago, but we digress). The Z has since been restored and shown on the lawn at Amelia, where it met up once again with Mr. Brock. (via) […]

There’s a photo that is captioned “BRE’s radical entry in the 1970 Baja 1000”. This must be a typo, because that car pictured didn’t exist in 1970. The trim changes (vent on the 1/4 panel sail) didn’t appear on production cars until late 1971. I have an early example of a ’70 240Z, ser# HLS300001526. The rear vents were still in the hatch for the entire first year production run.
Aside from this insignificant bit of carping, I hope to restore my 240Z the level that Carl Beck took this example. Well done Carl!
