Bill and Dylan Brinkworth: 1973 Datsun 240Z

Bill Brinkworth has always admired the classic JDM. When an old high school friend had a 1973 Datsun S30 240Z up for grabs, Brinkworth immediately jumped on the opportunity. Once handed the keys, Brinkworth began his modifications. The 240Z currently sits on Atara Racing Pisang wheels wrapped in Yokohama Avid tires (front) and Nitto NT555R tires (rear). Brinkworth has made some tweaks to the overall style and performance for the S30, and in 2015 he was crowned with the Hottest Old School (vehicle) at Hot Import Nights in Seattle. Brinkworth plans to make some additional modifications as well, which include a custom hood, front splitter, rear diffuser, roll bar, triple webers and a canon intake.
