History

This is the  ex-Brad Frisselle/Transcendental Racing Datsun 240Z.

In 1976, Frisselle and his 240Z captured the IMSA GTU crown winning eight of eleven races. The small, independent, Transcendental team took on and bested the mighty factory supported teams. This 240Z is also one of the, if not the first Datsun 240Z imported into the U.S. The car would launch one of the most successful sports car lines ever.

Much has already been researched and published about this well known car by noted historians, 240Z aficionados and experts, and premier restoration shops.  Below are links providing additional information about the car directly from those sources.
