Vehicle Overview
See description for 80+ photos and videoFrederick Marshall Adams (Marsh) purchased his copper exterior/tan interior 1974 Datsun 260Z in 1975. It was a left over from 1974 as everyone wanted the new 280Z. Marsh was just in his third year of teaching in San Jose and could not afford the hefty price tag the 280Z commanded. The salesman showed him this Z that was stored in a back room and so began a lifelong love affair with his Copper Baby. The Z as he liked to call it was pretty much his daily driver from the time of purchase until about 2012. During that 37 years Marshall traveled over 250,000 miles in his Copper Baby. He took several very long trips in it including one across the United States and back.
In about 2012 Marsh's Copper Baby was aging and needed to be rebuilt and restored. The body was in good condition as were the mechanicals, but all were tired. He took it to Mike Hennessy Automotive, The Car Guy in Santa Clara, Calif. and so began a major restoration and rebuild. The drivetrain was gone over and rebuilt and the exterior was repainted. The original color was maintained. Marsh was a nut about keeping his car stock/original and so it was. Marshall spent many hours ensuring that the originality of the car be maintained and spent countless hours hunting parts for the body, interior, and mechanicals to insure that the finished product was stock and original as he had first purchased it. In early 2014 the project was complete and the result gorgeous. Marshall's Copper Baby is a beautiful specimen of an original 1974 Datsun 260Z. They are very rare as they were only built for that one year and most have either been scrapped, or cannibalized for parts for both the 240Z and the 260Z.
In early 2014 Marshall announced that he wanted to show his car at the 2014 San Diego International Z Meet. He requested that I accompany him riding shotgun. I accepted and so began the trip from South San Jose to San Diego. I dubbed it "Two Old Guys In An Old Car". In his Christmas letter that year Marshall referred to the trip as "Two Older Gentlemen In A Classic Car" We had a grand time. Marshall's pride and joy was awarded 1st Place in Judged Stock Class and was also awarded 1st Place in the People's Choice In Stock Class. Marshall was as proud as a new father. Note: He let me drive the car for a couple of hours on the return trip. It was great fun.
Marshall passed in 2018 and left the car to me. I have been its caretaker since, but it is essentially a one owner car. Marshall made me promise to get it to someone who will care for it and enjoy it as he did. I know the second owner of the car will cherish it as much as Marshall did.
