Professional racer, John Morton, was recently reunited with the original BRE-prepared Datsun 510 that carried him to 12 wins and the 1971-1972 Trans-Am Championships for 2.5-liter sedans. Morton shook down the recently restored car at California’s Buttonwillow racecourse in preparation for August’s Trans-Am race at the Monterey Historics. When asked by VRJ what it felt like to be back behind the Datsun’s wheel after 20 years, Morton replied, “It’s great! It’s like deja vrooom!!”
