John Coffey referenced this purpose-built '73 in several posts -- here's a video taste:

The comments has a tribute to John C

"A majority of the chassis and assembly work was performed by John Coffey of Benton Performance, and the car and it's participation in the 2016 Peking-to-Paris is dedicated to his memory and hard work"

RIP...

I want to do this ... maybe someday!  Anyone know the cost associated with a race like this?  I know it cannot be cheap..

The race is over and congratulations goes out to the 240z teams.  4 golds and one silver.  Check out the gallery I put together here.

There is an excellent article about the event on Sports Car Digest http://www.sportscardigest.com/peking-paris-motor-challenge-2016-report-photos/  Lots of pictures, worth a look.

Great results ! Puts the 240z ever further in the spotlight of classic cars..

Love it. Someday the kid and I will take on an adventure like this.
