Those of you who believed
El Suburbanimo to be the ultimate New Jersey vehicle might want to reconsider after you take a look at this '73 Datsun 240Z. Back in the early 80s, with just 19,721 miles on the Z's clock, its owner decided some custom touches were in order. A little body kit here, some stripes and TURBO emblems there, and then the finishing touch: a small-block Chevy engine. It's
awesome! BZR found this gem for us; make the jump to read his description.

down on the street
While 280Zs are fairly common on the streets of Alameda, you don't run across a 240- or even a 260- every day. Part of the reason is that many of the smog-exempt 1975-and-newer Zs have been stuck in garages to await small-block Chevy swaps (we like V8 Zs, but only the ones that actually get finished), while the hoon-magnet nature of these cars has led to many of them being wrapped around telephone poles and/or eroded away in death-of-a-thousand-cuts fashion.

Architect Zaha Hadid is best known for futuristic (forgive the plebian adjective, art school geeks) visions of urbanity. She also designed the central building for BMW's Leipzig plant and the "Mind Zone" in the UK's Millennium Dome. Her Z.CAR project — which debuted at New York's Guggenheim Museum this summer — is a two-seater, powered by hydrogen fuel cell — that has a speed-adjusted wheelbase. That it looks somewhat like a pretentious Big Wheel, is only part of the story.
