I just put up four prints from Pikes Peak on my store. Two of Ken Block, two of Rod Millen's Tacoma larrychenprints.com/

Absolutely hands down the cleanest LS swapped 240z I’ve ever seen. So sick

This is BY FAR so much of a meaningful episode. That car is a MASTERPIECE 🙏🏾

The body lines on this car are EXQUISITE!!! They're so clean that at first glance I genuinely couldn't tell what had been done!? Absolutely stellar work and craftsmanship... Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

As soon as her Dad walked on Camera with those SHADES, that's old school Cali Hot Rod builder! I'm glad it's built from an entire Family of Z owners!

To all those who are hating this build and saying it’s ruined - Just appreciate the work and time put into this. It’s beautiful and extremely well done. You don’t have to like or agree with everyone’s builds and that’s the beauty of the car community but you should definitely respect it. It’s not ruined it’s just not your style.

One of the best 240z builds I've seen so far! Well done!

Stunning is the first word to come to mind on this beautiful build. Envy is the second word , bummed is the third because I’ll never be able to get my Z to come close to this build quality. Congratulations on an awesome interpretation of the Z!

I wanna see Ol orange bang out on a cruise with that fairladyR. Two extremely high caliber early Z's, built in two different ways by two entirely different people and shops. Incredible build.

I love the minimalist builds that look almost stock... This pretty

Thank you Larry for sharing the story of this family’s stunning Z + LS build! A++ craftsmanship throughout, and built so personally and lovingly to Sammi’s tastes. A ‘Fairlady’ for the ages, no doubt!!👍

Saw this car at the Roadster show and it was completely ignored by most. It is stunning in person!!

Wow Sammi !!! What a wonderful piece of functional art you've built! I've seen a TON of beautiful Z's but yours is just exquisite.

Awesome car. V8 Z cars have always grabbed my attention and the level of detail makes this one of the best

Speechless; definition of Unicorn build. Father daughter combo car enthusiast is priceless 👌

Leave it to a father to build such a jewel, no one deserves her, too beautiful and sharp as the mussel blast from a .357. His daughter is great too, he really loves her, this cars engine bay is a letter to his daughter for sure. The best story and vehicle yet Larry.

Wow, just wow. And a big THANK YOU to Sammi for veto-ing chrome wheels. They would've looked terrible on such an incredibly classy car. What a build...I absolutely love it.

"We're all in this sick game together." Made me laugh and cry with love.

I think I'm on the same wavelength as you Larry when you first started talking about the car. You have seen so many amazing builds over the years and have so many times thought "it just doesn't get any better than this" ...... and then...... you find a build like this. This build is just absolutely stunning!!! Congrats Sammi!

Not into v8 Z’s but this thing is so bad ass. 👍🏻 well done!

I have always be against LS swapped cars especially JDM style cars.. But Sammi this is by far the most amazing representation of a Z I have ever seen. This beauty is sooooo clean and omg the little details like the valve covers. This would not surprise me if we were to see this on Z nations Website front and center. I want to see more of this car.

What a beauty!! Inside is a big inspiration for my 240 interior rebuild next winter. Well done!

I absolutely love the depth that larry chen goes into when shooting or recording a car or it's owner.

Damn fine looking Z, thanks for featuring it Larry!

She's perfect... absolutely stunning. You can tell so much love and appreciation went in to this build. ♥

Congratulations It's an unbelievable restoration the time & love that's gone in to this car definitely shows. It's exceptionally clean but you can see it's gone the owners personal little charms added on without losing the original factor styling it come with

I have to give her some credit…especially the “No Air” option.

Wow I'm speechless, congrats to the whole team / family ❤️

Simply beautiful, the beautiful word falls short.

Thanks for sharing this with us ...

The greatest audio and visual autro in the world. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 By.Larry Chen

Big props to the whole family for building this beauty! Even as a long episode it's sad to get to the end, but then you'll get one of the coolest KZfaq outros ever 🚗🎶

✌out once I saw the LS at 6:20. Fun fact - Nissan has a 400hp V8 in their Titan pickup truck. Its 5.6L V8 (VK56) has been powering it for almost 20 years.

This kind of clean builds is incredibly hard to pull off. When you have to look a tiny details or need a pointer on what was modified. Or like Larry always says: OEM+. The car is awesome and so is the familiy... 😎👍

Absolutely amazing build with an equally amazing story to go with it. Loved every min of this video.

It is so good! my sister wrecked my 77 280z over an embankment into a tree. Tree saved her from a huge Roll event... Z was totalled sadly. tried to fix it and got it looking ok then sold it to a neighbor for 1000 that was in need of any car

Beautiful Z and amazing attention to details. Love it.

I love the details of this build. This is something that money couldn't buy.

FINALLY a cupholder that actually fits Yeti cups

Big fan of your channel and your work over the years in photography. Glad you've gone independent! Great content Larry! AND WHAT A CAR! Sammi and her fam built a complete A-list hotrod. Love to see it.

Nice job Sammi glad you finished your = dream car. Good job over all.

Very well executed!

Absolutely stunning old school show stopper.

Beautiful Beautiful amazing how people can still blow my mind with these cars

240Z perfection…absolutely love this build. Beautiful car.

Omg. Super cool build. Super cool girl!

The car is so clean it´s stupid! and she was awesome. Great vid as always

Not much a Z fan BUT dear lord this thing is gorgeous! Amazing job from all involved.

detail is everything she nailed it

Stunning. Congrats to all involved!

Absolutely GORGEOUS car!!! Amazing young woman, Great father!! Love the the video Larry and your channel!👊👍👍✌

What a gorgeous car, and a great owner too.

Love to see a build done to perfection 👌👌👌

Would never know this had a body kit installed, amazing work and attention to detail.

She has put the bar so very high for a first build. Stunning car

always loved the 240Z but this one is something special. love the clean simple look combined with an obsessive attention to detail in places 99.9% of gearheads wouldn't even notice. It reminds me of lowriders and their attention to detail. those guys will chrome plate and engrave a pattern onto the bolts hidden behind the wheel liner.

29:38 larry forgot to say NICE

What an absolute beautiful LS swapped 240Z 😍

she should put the rear window Louvers on it makes the z look Sporty even though this car already looks super sporty! It IS so good! Awesome Job!!! If it was mine I would add the 280z hood louvers! Louvers Help stop the car from getting Squirrely at high speed from reducing Hood Lift and will help the car with heat soak Letting the trapped hot air that rises and gets stuck under the hood, with The ITB's there sucking in all that hot air it would help so much plus The 280's had them so they will still Retain the Natural Z Look even if it is off the 280 instead of the 240....Man this made me miss my 77 280 z I drove senior Year of Highschool in 2002. I painted mine the stock green color but had a bunch of Flake and pearl added. She was pretty not this pretty but pretty.

The bar has been raised!

Well executed

This is my dream car but I would personally love to have it in a deep green colour and keep everything else the same as this 😍

I’m so in love with this Z….. And maybe Sammi too 😉 they’re both beautiful and I’m always so excited to see a woman with such enthusiasm for classic cars especially when they LS swap a 4 cylinder car!!! Perfect

Love her story. I worked at a Datsun dealership back in 1979 - 82. I can remember when that dealership got the first turbo Z in an everyone Everyone was drooling my god. Didn't make much money there but hell I would have worked for free She meant 510 inline 4. 510 never had a 6

What's really unique about the Bogart racing wheels is that the center's look small while the matte silver barrels give it the diameter while making it appear like a smaller wheel which fits the look of the 240. That's some trick stuff right there. San Jose Datsun owners plate, I take she knows Rob Fuller then? Naturally. One thing I haven't seen Rob Fuller do is put a VK56 in a Z.

Awesome build 👊🏼

Absolutely amazing!!👍🏼🚀

What a car! Lost for words. One of best!

That car is incredible. Love it

CLEANN

It’s gorgeous. But my ocd is driving me crazy without mirrors.

Excellent

Love it. Super smooth

Amazing build! Can't even be mad about the LS"swap".

wow beautiful build

Beautifully executed Z car

That is a Beautiful 240z that Baby Sounds Very Very Nice I Bet It Could Drift Really Good

masterpiece.

Hands down the best 240z builds i have ever seen. How I'd like to have this car

Top 10 best Dotson builds

what a cool build! WOW!!!

Fun Fact: the "zinc plating" is actually Cadmium or Cad-plated, zinc is for ocean vessels...

So they basically did what any Datsun engineer would have done if they decided to put a V8 motor into a Z from factory and they end up with a some sort of Frankem-Muscle-Z... I love it!!!

One bad ass “ Z “…. 💪🏼🤙🏻👍🏻🙌🏻👊🏻

that car is beautiful!!!!!!

dude asks how many miles on the car and is oblivious to her response let alone even payed attention LOL

The replacement for the missing umf in a straight six is turbo .... being a car "girl" should know this.

this car have that Devil Z vibe to it - not much shit going on the outside, evrything is just functional..but it's packed underneath and its got a very intimidating presence

That is a sick ass ride

Love Everything About Thisss Car ❤🤞🦆

Almost a Singer level Z. Incredible.

Great Review...I'm excited to see if she Races it at Optima..The car is set up for Optima..She would score very high in D&E..You can tell here dad help build it so if she competes it will score high..She will be placed in GTV if she does..Great Story and Review!!!!..👍🏽🏁

Another banger super cool 👍🏾

so bad ass! great build!

very nice ..... best LS swap I've ever seen

DDDAAAMMMNNN !!!!!! This is NICE NICE NICE !!!!

Sweet car Miss I'm jealous...😎

My dream 240z would be ivory white color, tc24-b1z engine, watanabe wheels, and built up like singer porsche with carbon body panels. No widebody crap tho and definitely no fender flares.

beautiful build!

Wow! This is what a Z is suppose to be.
