    Saw a Z1 today

    Am in LA for the week and spotted this thing at a gas station on Crescent Heights today. Anyone seen it before?

        I'd say the Z3 holds that honor.

          It could have, but then it came in coupe and with six cylinder engines.

                coolest part about the z1 is every single panel is removable, its design also made it very solid none of the jello body over bumps like the z3 has

                        Go figure - appears to be a 3rd Z1 in SoCal.

                        I don't think this one is Carl Nelson's or Marc Norris's.

                            i want to see it in person, just so i can watch the doors drop down into the rockers. hilarious. I watched an old Indian movie from the mid 90's where the main character drove a Z1, was a good laugh.
