The process starts with stripping the body down to bare metal and going through every inch of the car, recreating every spot weld as it was originally done half a century ago. Every part is either reconditioned or remade from scratch using original manufacturer specs. Their founder, Chris Visscher, promises no expense spared to hit perfection and it shows when Takeo Miyazaki, who was on the original 240Z development team, gives his seal of approval.
The restoration covers every detail. The bodywork is painstakingly rebuilt with NOS or hand-formed metal to factory thickness. Stitch welding replaces cruder repairs, so the finish looks factory fresh with every panel and curve exactly how it should be. The paintwork follows factory standards, including the underbody and insulation mats. Motive systems, chassis, engine, drivetrain, and electrical components all get overhauled and rebuilt for flawless operation.
Inside, the seats and upholstery mirror original construction, made with bespoke care to replicate the factory craftsmanship. The whole car emerges looking as if it just left the showroom in 1970, but with modern precision and reliability.
S30.world’s team has restored more than 60 S30 chassis to date and built a massive inventory of original parts. The Masterpieces are authentic, immaculate, and ready for a new life on the road. If you want a 240Z as it was meant to be, this is it.
