Holy Grail: Wes Banasan's 2003 Nissan 350Z - Page 3

Vehicle Features Dave Pankew

Clean, functional and full of parts that you just don’t see that often makes for a project that we just couldn’t pass on. In terms of the thousands of Zees we’ve seen over the past six years, this one ranks high. It is a fitting last call to a successful run of the Z33 chassis as we make the transition to featuring many more 370Zs inside PASMAG.
