2/12/04 First photo ever received from an
owner of a rare Nalle GT produced by Tom Nalle's body kit company, Nalle
Mfg, back in the mid 1980's. This car is based on a 1975 Nissan 280Z unibody.
. Within the Z car community very little appears to be known about this
rarely seen Daytona Cobra style body kit once produced by Tom Nalle long
ago.
I first saw a few
photos of this kit in Ben Millspaugh's classic, "Z Car Enthusiast"
book long ago (now out of print) and have searched for any Nalle GT cars
in existence every since the late 80's, but without any luck until February
2004, when the new owner of a Nalle GT, production model #001, no less,
contacted me to share the photo above.
Once new owner finds
time to photo document his car further, more photos of it and historical
information related to the Nalle GT's history will appear here. For now,
just enjoy the view and ask yourself why this kit is no longer produced
for the Z car? - Eric Neyerlin - owner of ZPARTS.COM |
