| General Info This was one of six cars that were to be built as weekend track cars in 1972. Two were started one of which was this car. This car was originally owned by Douglas Mouat of Seattle, WA. Two of the other racers - Phil Boersig and Terry Sweet were speed demons of every kind and before completing the other four Z's the two men decided to fly a single prop airplane underneat the Tacoma Narros Bridge. One of the wings of the plane hit the water and unfortunately they both perished in the accident. The two completed Z's were used as pace ars for a memorial racin in 1973 in their honour. The dash plaque from that race remains in the vehicle after the restoration. The car was sold shortly there after and was garaged for eleven years. Car was then put in storage for about 18 years before it was purchased and fully restored after two and a half years of restoration.
