[@ArthurZakaryan23]

Larry please don't stop featuring these kinds of amazing sort of out of left field builds. The level of craftsmanship and ingenuity on this 280 is just amazing and I like you could probably just spend hours looking at all the neat things done here, just so great to see, thank you Larry for featuring this.

[@bodhim4353]

This is one of the most interesting builds Larry's covered in a long time... I love when folks put true love and passion toward less loved models

[@mellofello808]

What a breath of fresh air this build is. Both the car, and the builder are absolute gems.

[@R.J.1]

Hooked me at "my son and I" That's all that matters. Thing works tho, nicely done! Wheels are sick.

[@flyinfilm90]

100%

[@dhargrove89]

So Happy for Ryan and his Pops, been showing with them in the PNW for years now. Crazy to see where they are now!

[@manworksgarage]

this is one of the coolest 280zx, and overall custom builds ive seen..so unique in its way...and great..

[@G_Strength]

I Agree!

[@adam_cs1489]

This is the guy you want to share a beer with in a shop on a week day evening after work hearing all his stories. What a great car!

[@Liam.Lacoste]

Not a fan of the... "body kit" but it's not my car. The front looks so weird. The man clearly is passionate and I applaud him for doing something out of the norm. More power to him!

[@Treaxvour]

I don't usually care for the "widebody" style. But this guy did it right. The front end not my favorite either, (I prefer a nice grill), but overall the car is a work of art.

[@96MManuel]

hope you will make a video about street banditos 240z legacy build !

[@Treaxvour]

What a masterpiece. Larry does a great job capturing builds like these

[@tsufulzoo1]

Best build You shot this Year Larry! This tickles my senses ❤ The attention to detail and originality is crazy high on that one. Gloss black hood with those grinded flames is something I’ve never seen before and is one of the best features of the car, but there are so many others… Kudos to the builder 🤝

[@muasboy]

i love the outro music. Please never change it. it's kinda like your signature sound.

[@G_Strength]

280zx FTW! By far one of my favorite builds not just because its a 280zx but that metal work is of the charts clean and functional!

[@marcross52-95]

I was expecting this to be crude but this Z really caught me off guard....the level of craftsmanship dedication poured into it can't be put into the exact words.

[@christopherblaser-h8k]

Thank you for this Larry!! What an amazing build...you never disappoint! Please bring some VW content!

[@OGKaiju]

That metal door pillar is from a 79-81 280ZX. The 82-83 280ZX door pillars were made of black plastic. I say this as I have (2) 83 280ZX Turbos. Very cool build.

[@nefkp6128]

Thank you for covering “home builds” again. You kinda lost me when you started cover all the big company money builds that already have a platform and tons of followers. Also. I have a set of these wheels for sale if anyone is interested.

[@chaseincats]

that paintwork on the hood is incredible

[@chasebrunner]

Had To Watch This Video Again Wow These Videos Will Inspire People For Ever Larry Chen Thank You For Posting These Videos Larry!

[@purpdillinger5022]

He made the bodykit himself!!!?!!...ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED???...super sick 280zx

[@bfdzvalable]

That design is AWSOME!! Please let the gentleman know I build plastic model cars from scratch and I'm going to build a 240z based on his theme. Simply beautiful!!

[@hdoglesby]

I was all about air-cooled VWs in the late 80's, graduated to water-cooled. I'd worked primarily on Euro cars (Volvo, BMW/MINI, VAG products, etc). I passively admired Japanese cars but wasn't into them and hadn't worked on too many until 2015 on. That's when I started to appreciate them, admire them and now own 3 Lexus', a Subaru and a 4Runner. It's like I've renewed my passion by getting into Japanese cars similar to how this dad has done.

[@jfu5222]

The grinder flames are my favorite detail.

[@Skiridr22]

It looks like a mild cyberpunk car, great fabrication

[@andreww8941]

Super super mean and clean looking. Awesome build!!!!

[@mrfinch6664]

Love it 👌👌 the front bumper would be even cooler with a little more cut outs to match the theme,millenium jade would be a great colour in contrast with his amazing metal work. But nonetheless amazing build 💪💪

[@vickturorteez]

I agree with the front bumper, but I actually like that he just did his complete own idea even more

[@mrfinch6664]

@@vickturorteez oh yeah me too it's just if i could order one tommorow it would be in millenium jade 😉

[@manworksgarage]

i think a tube bumper in style of the 240z would match great. like the tubes he has poking out the hole..

[@vickturorteez]

@@mrfinch6664 he should have just extended the nose more Car would have been perfect like that , bit too flat in front

[@audiwankenobi361]

That's a truly special car right there without question.

[@emmetrmeredith]

Great build, thanks for capturing this Larry...

[@davidbeverly3463]

That thing is a Masterpiece! Absolutely in love with it every last bit! Spectacular job 👏 guys!

[@p0lar_bear]

what a beautiful car... i'm so happy you have a car you love to walk forward to. That's the hobby.. nothing beats it

[@itsmedeka]

Love every inch of this mans creation, bravo!

[@Christri]

What a unique quality build. Thanks for show us this car.

[@niall21]

Your comments about the tail light panel cracked me up because literally yesterday I pulled the tail lights off my S130 to start working on customs, but I was not prepared for how complex the shape was 😂 I, too, thought it was flat despite owning the car for about 10 years now

[@landonhart]

Love the uniqueness of this build especially the C1 wheels 🤤🤤

[@SleeperHonda]

Sickest 280ZX of all time. Sheesh!

[@jaymopar3543]

" It's basic", thats what he said!! 😂 You sir built this amazing car. This ain't no basic, this is mad sick .. one of the best... What a sexy beast... Gahh damnn!!

[@sonic1212121]

Hella yea putting the S130Z/280ZX on the map 🔥💯🤙🏼

[@Seasonstobecheerful]

Love the 80s look , really nice body work and colour , finish combo.😎 brilliant 👏

[@shanetyler9391]

Kinda makes me wish i never sold my 280zx in 2012 i got a S14 later sold that car and got another S14 and still own it! i have a 1975 280z now used to own a 240z before the 75'. 240z prices are ridiculous now days! I would fall back on a 280zx any day if times got tough! This build is great and i live in Idaho and this hit's close to home!

[@TheRetiredBullhandAK989]

This is one of the best lookin ones I’ve ever seen! Badass!

[@name-w1q]

Man you used to be able to buy these used all day every day. Now you can't find any Z's. Awesome build!! looks so good.

[@LueXiong10]

A car that is about the details. Very well executed!

[@landonhart]

Excited to see more 280zx builds bc they have a lot of potential but need so much body work to be pretty 🤣

[@kpreno]

The most delicious 280ZX ever... EVER! I love this car! Thanks Larry

[@kailani112]

I saw this car at pacific raceways its even more beautiful in person!

[@joeym2675]

That’s one Creative Man And One Wild And Beautiful Car!!!!

[@JohanGavieres]

Beautiful beautiful 280zx!

[@AlexA-bx8jr]

this car is SO rad

[@kitvexed8229]

you ain't gotz to like the car, but you MUST RESPECT the fab/artistry of the build..

[@quinnemery1228]

Great car and great work Larry!

[@chasebrunner]

That Car Is Beautiful Love It Larry

[@scgray05]

What an incredible and unique build.

[@jzbreezio]

I think if the body kit was painted, id appreciate it more. It looks good and sounds amazing!

[@ashwilliams8903]

I started this video wanting to hate on this car… I was wrong. I’m crazy about this thing!! 😍😍😍

[@mg_streetkandi]

I've owned (2) 280zx cars..and I don't miss owning a 240z..The price was better and If you wanted the 240z side drafts or whatever swap goes in them..The 280zx could take them as well..All the suspension is the same.. so your not loosing anything..Love the car..👍🏽🏁

[@johncoffee6566]

Absolutely amazing episode. Please please please do one on his son's z20 soarer!!!! Pleaseeee!

[@wildperformance2497]

Love this!!! Also can't w8 to finish this freakin` house renovation to order your prints as a final touch up...all the fair ladies, F40, E31 ... yeah, as said, all planned, can't wait, hoping, that I will be able to get em still when done and ready :)))

[@BlessByYou777]

0:16😎that is lookin like darth vader on cyberpunk. This guy is a genius. 1:06 so sick

[@Solvefunction]

Crazy rad!

[@tranquilitybase7860]

What a great car.

[@zp7126]

It's like an old school gasser but in a z. It is so cool.

[@bowlerwildcatGaming1991]

it's bloody beautiful

[@joshuasutton4043]

Nice ride

[@SpaceFoxAD]

Most slept on Z

[@dorianmentor3921]

Super cool,u should check the SA home built one here through speed and sound. 1 day you need to fly down and start doing south africa and the turbo champ push rod motors and then work your way up. Zociety sticker on that tank and it's perfect 😎✅👌 official sticker in aluminum

[@stickyplantains]

Neat bare metal design 👌

[@loudmikemedia]

fun fun

[@1990na6]

Yooo! Been waiting for this video

[@flyinfilm90]

SOOO COOL

[@Kr8zyVids]

Lol I thought that back panel was glass up until he said it wasn’t

[@Carbonarars]

Crazy 😀

[@alexpetro240sx]

WaZz up. Love it

[@michaelsummerell8618]

To each their own...

[@nicholassantos2327]

Badass👌🏼

[@DRAAAGONEARZ]

😍

[@avmelidor]

Ztastic

[@booooodii]

Delicious

[@AlteredCarbons]

the front end aint for me, but it do be looking good imo

[@JM23007]

Have a weird feeling these are also about to start going up in price. I love mine but holy shit it sucks to see 240z selling for $8,000 for a rusty shitbox with no drivetrain. 280zx is next. They've already gone up a lot.

[@1MADZ]

Front bumper needs more ducts

[@hieroglyph321]

Rad af....

[@flyinfilm90]

DAMMMMMM

[@lampard9512]

If madmax is a carguy.. Today...

[@bigl3885]

Please visit a cool BMW collection, since you went to a Mercedes collection.

[@deangelos1980]

I don't know if his dad knows it but it gots somewhat if a rat kinda kaido racer look

[@peace_peace_z32]

カッコ悪すぎてステキ❤

[@jungled]

wish the kit was black or color matched but great job and well done either way

[@finalanarky7]

This looks absolutely disgusting. Poor Z

[@AkinaSpeedStarsAE86]

is he going to finish it?

[@kweightthree]

Not a fan of the look. But i see the work.

[@eddieedwards3811]

Why do people ruin good cars over there

[@vientayuno934]

That's gotta be the ugliest 280z out there

[@billm83army]

I can truly say, hate this

[@marcleekes3040]

That car's picture is in the dictionary at "ricer"...

[@landonhart]

"The simplest things are the hardest" this man cut no corners 🫡💪

[@jessevasquez2774]

WOW what a built love it and so different from other Z’s 👊🏻👍🏻🙌🏻👌🏻🤘🏻🤌🏻

[@p0lar_bear]

it's kind of sad super cars can't keep up to hobby's... nothing interesting from lambo, ferrari

[@PokèMyBalls]

He needs to either cut the body kit down by a few inches or put larger tires on it. It just swallows the car.
