Summary
This 1973 Datsun 240Z was extensively modified for racing, winning six HSR events including the 1992 championship, and later built into an IMSA GTU tribute with a distinctive Dad's Root Beer livery. It boasts a stroked 3.0-liter inline-six with triple Mikuni carburetters, a Nissan Competition 5-speed manual, and features a full fiberglass body, IMSA G-nose, chromoly suspension, and Wilwood brakes. With a notable provenance including ownership by Bob Sharp and Adam Carolla, this race car comes with extensive documentation of its build and racing history.
