We love JDM Legend's parts hauler, a Datsun 620! We are going to close out with this sequence shot of a slammmmmed Cressida rolling out! Visit. Loving the air set up on this Datsun wagon. I never imaged that the Utah Japanese Classic scene was on point, until that day. There lies ultra-rare and clean old school rides. We had the opportunity to see the completed Z last summer, but even more appreciative to see it in the phases of restoration.To show appreciation of our visit, Eric and team, put together a last minute meet for us. Eric and team often travel to Japan in search of more treasures and shows off some of his talents at the famous JCCS in Long Beach, California. It’s even more rare that they are of Japanese Classics. He is one of the few that performs the art of restoration. Eric Bizek, is the humble owner of JDM Legends. The Hakosuka GT, imported, corrected, and restored is being prepped for delivery to So Cal. Josh Martin putting on a few final touches. Custom suspension, upgraded brakes, and new RS rollers on sticky R888’s. There is not one piece that has not been touched. Every trim and sheet metal was repaired, prepared, and finished. Every single nut and bolt was removed, re-plated, and installed.
The Fairlady is a complete ground up build. Molested, massaged, and restored to the customer’s liking. On the flip side, a pair of 2-post lifts accompany 2 classics, a Hakosuka GT-X and the Fairlady Z. On JDM Legend's photo wall, sits a very mint Mazda Cosmo and Nissan Silvia (CSP311), the precursor to the infamous S chassis. A prized 67.5 Datsun Roadster 2000 also marked its territory, center stage. A Subie STi, a Nissan Hakosuka GT-R, Ultra-rare 1970 432 Datsun Fairlady Z, Nissan Hakosuka GT-R Sedan, Nissan Hakosuka shell, and an early 70’s Toyota Celica with a Beams engine are placed side-by-side waiting to be transformed or restored.

"You couldn't build the same car at that cost" Eric says. 343,600 likes 11 talking about this 579 were here. But it is in that sheer insanity that makes this car the stuff that dreams are made of.ĭespite the asking price, rest assured, pricing is fair. The best of the best was used whenever possible, leaving a cost that some would consider insane.
It has been at our shop since and we have used it for a few promotional photo shoots, but is now ready for its new home. However, due to importation laws changing, was unable to be delivered to the customer. Upon completion of the massive 2 year undertaking, the car was finished. The result of this import fantasy, a vision of beauty, and JDM Legends craftsmanship, has culminated into one of the finest examples of a Z to ever touch down on this earth.

His only requirements was that it was LHD and that the Z be blue in order to pay tribute to "Wangan Midnight", a Japanese racing series made popular though movies, manga, anime, and even video games. A qualified customer was chosen and the build began. This was to be a halo car, a flagship that would show the world what the Z platform could be in caring hands. The chassis however was from Arizona so it was relatively rust free, straight and was the perfect candidate for a complete restoration. This car was was found in cold and dusty shed here in Salt Lake City. Not only was this a labor of love, a work of art, but also our most favorite car to drive.Įric said "If I could keep one car for myself that was here in our shop, it would be this one, without a doubt."
Many have asked for this moment, and we are proud to announce the listing of our world famous 240Z complete frame up restoration.
