Unraveling The History Of The First Grateful Dead Show.

The band’s members began their musical journey largely in the South Bay – leading epically to their first  show under the “Grateful Dead” name at a house in downtown San Jose.

By Mark Purdy, August 2021

The Grateful Dead are thought of as a San Francisco band. That was certainly true after 1966 when the group planted itself in Haight-Ashbury and occupied a “band house” there.  But before then?  The band’s members began their musical journey largely in the South Bay – leading epically to their first  show under the “Grateful Dead” name at a house in downtown San Jose.

In that regard, here are the bullet points that document all of that history and all of those connections to San Jose and Santa Clara County:

• SUMMER OF 1962 – Local guitarist Jerry Garcia begins hanging out at Swain’s Music Store on University Avenue in downtown Palo Alto and buys picks and strings to start playing acoustic guitar with the ambition of one day performing at St. Michael’s Alley down the street at 436 University. St. Michael’s Alley opened in 1959 as a bohemian hangout and helped launch the career of another local musician, Joan Baez. The club’s owner, Vernon Gates, eventually does give Garcia a chance. He sits inside the front door of the club, playing a banjo to help lure people inside. “Jerry used to come in, nurse one cup of coffee all day and pick up all the chicks,” Gates says.  (SOURCE: “PSYCHEDELIC PALO ALTO,” by Blair Tindall, Palo Alto Weekly, Mar. 8, 2000)
• MAY 1963 – Jerry Garcia and his new wife, Sara, play their first gig at the Top Of The Tangent, a club located above a deli at 117 University Avenue in Palo Alto, across the railroad tracks from the Stanford campus. The folk club becomes a regular performance spot for Garcia in various bluegrass groups. One of the regular audience members is teenager Bob Weir, an aspiring musician from nearby Atherton. (SOURCE: “Lost Live Dead” web page.)
• SUMMER OF 1963 — Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions, an acoustic gaggle of folks that includes Garcia, Weir and Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, begins playing a regular gig at The Offstage at 970 South First St. in San Jose. The Offstage is a dingy coffee house with burlap walls and a small performance space. But it’s a welcoming spot for an emerging counterculture. Garcia and his bluegrass bunch even take a bus trip with San Jose State students to a SJS football game in Oregon because a “hootenanny battle” between groups is scheduled for after the game. The Jug Champions have a revolving lineup that can get fractious. “But it was always Garcia who would patch up the ego spats and persuade them back together,” Foster writes in his memoir, describing the future Dead guitarist as “incessantly driven” and “master of warm heartfelt moodiness with a towering intellect.” Foster also writes that he and Pigpen “were interested in the same girl” who hangs around the Offstage but she turns out to be “a smart cookie who estimated the whole situation and married a doctor.” At the time, Pigpen is only 17 years old, so Foster has to buy his booze, which Pigpen needs to consume before taking the stage because he is so shy.  At some point, Palo Alto drummer Bill Kreutzmann and College Of San Mateo student Phil Lesh join the crew and they call themselves “The Warlocks.”  (SOURCES: “The Answer Is Always Yes,” by Paul Foster, The Spartan Daily campus newspaper of San Jose State)
• DECEMBER 4, 1965 – Ken Kesey, the LSD experimenter and author of “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” as a Stanford graduate student, decides to hold one of his first “Acid Tests” in a home at 43 South Fifth Street in San Jose. He needs a band.  He asks his Palo Alto pals, who just recently re-named themselves “The Grateful Dead,” to play the gig. The date and location are picked largely because it coincides with a concert by The Rolling Stones taking place the same night at San Jose Civic Auditorium, just eight blocks away. Kesey manages to rent the house for the night from “Big Nig,” the African-American landlord.  Kesey then stations some of his “Pranksters” on the steps of the Civic Auditorium, where they pass out 700 hand-written invitations for those leaving the Stones show to attend the nearby “Acid Test.” A flyer promoting the Dec. 4 acid test.

Bill Wyman, the Stones’ bassist, later writes in his biography that band members Keith Richards and Brian Jones decide to show up for the big event on Fifth Street, though Richards says he doesn’t remember it. What is known: As meticulously described in Tom Wolfe’s book, “The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test,” the Dead set up in two adjoining rooms amidst a tangle of wires and speakers and proceed to freak out the attendees until 3 a.m.   The long, strange trip has officially begun.  (SOURCES: “THE ELECTRIC KOOL-AID ACID TEST” by Tom Wolfe. “THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS YES,” by Paul Foster, who attended the party.   Email from Rick Dodgson, Prankster historian.  Email from Ronald Cook, owner of Coog Instruments in Santa Cruz, who lived in the 43 South Fifth Street house.)

• 1966-2002 — Cook says that after its infamous hosting of the first Dead show, the home at 43 South Fifth acquired the nickname of the “High House” and became headquarters for the San Jose State chapter of the Students For A Democratic Society (SDS) as well as a rehearsal space for Cook’s band, Throckmorton. Cook recalls jamming at the house with Moby Grape guitarist/singer Skip Spence and Doobie Brothers Pat Simmons and Ty Porter. The landlords eventually evict the SDS (and Throckmorton) and turn the home back into more conventional off-campus student housing. But in the late 1990s, San Jose acquires property to build a new downtown city hall and the house sits squarely in the path of the wrecking ball. (SOURCES: Email from Ronald Cook and San Jose Redevelopment Agency records.)
• 2003 — Fortunately, preservationists help arrange for several houses on the site to be saved and moved to other locations. Jim Salata, owner of Garden City Construction in San Jose and an avid preservationist, becomes involved in moving the houses to other lots around the downtown area. Salata is unaware of the house’s history, as is the city’s Redevelopment Agency, according to director of project management Bill Ekern. But after the Grateful Dead/Acid Test house is moved a mile away to 635 St. James St., Jim Salas and his wife, Krista, buy it and begin restoration work.  The new San Jose City Hall opens in October of 2005.  The site of the historic first Grateful Dead show sits roughly under the current city council meeting chambers.  The actual house remains standing and restored at 635 St. James Street.  (SOURCES: Emails and interviews with Bill Ekern, Jim Salata and Krista Salas)

What San Jose, California looked like in the 1960s

During the 1960s, City Manager A. P. “Dutch” Hamann led San Jose in an effective growth campaign. For suburban development, the city annexed adjoining areas, such as Alviso and Cambrian Park. A reaction against rapid development emerged in the 1970s, led by Norman Mineta and Janet Gray Hayes. Although the city established an urban growth boundary, imposed development fees, and incorporated Campbell and Cupertino, development did not slow but was instead directed into already-incorporated areas.

Uncontrolled growth resulted in a high municipal debt load, degraded public services (including double sessions at public schools and overburdened fire and police departments), and environmental degradation, resulting in a populist revolt against Hamann’s growth machine. Several anti-growth candidates were also elected to the City Council in the late 1960s.

Here are some fascinating photos that will take you back to the 1960s in San Jose, California.

You would think they could have built a more modern looking structure in 1966

I love the architecture of the T&C’s. They reflected the times which was still mostly agricultural. The large sweeping tile roofs and airy walkways were very inviting. Now it’s a fake “planned community” with a bunch of people in competition to see who looks like they make the most money and has the most stuff.

I love that architecture. There was also one in Palo Alto and Cambrian.

Saw Die Hard there, it was perfect for it and was projected from a completely pristine print. ❤️ I even thanked the manager afterwards for taking such good care of it.

they had a 70mm print for “Die Hard”

Or watching Eddie Murphy as a foreign exchange student from Camaroon! “Remember the pavillion? We had big fun there!”

Saw The Shining there

my memory is starting to fade over the years… but I believe there was a Ticket Tron office tucked in the corner there.

I worked there in the early 80s. Had so much fun (a LOT of pranks and goofing around). Plus, the original Pizza Time Theater was just across the parking lot.

I know it well. I worked there in the 1980’s.

What was it like?

I worked selling tickets. It was like any other place. I never heard the tour guides say anything weird about the house.

Was a tour guide there in the summers and week ends, in 66 and 67. Lot of fun

My grandfather used to drive Mrs Winchester home in his wagon from the Farmer’s Union store on Santa Clara St. in San Jose. This was about 1920. Our house was on Moorpark & Monroe.

Santa Clara Los Gatos Road was renamed in the 1960s to Winchester Blvd in honor of Sarah Winchester.

Before 1940 Santa Clara, Sunnyvale & San Jose cities that connected to Saratoga or Los Gatos the roads were designated as such. Sunnyvale/Saratoga rd turned to DeAnza Blvd; Santa Clara/Saratoga rd turned to Saratoga Ave; Santa Clara/Los Gatos rd turned to Winchester Blvd and San Jose/Los Gatos turned to Bascom Ave and Los Gatos Blvd! This mostly happened in the 1960’s.

It’s on Winchester in San Jose, near Winchester and Stevens Creek.

Anyone remember who owned Mannys Cellar?

Manny Pereira and Tom Taylor…

Had a cat house inside

and just how would you know that my friend LOL

For those who think that everything in the old days is better, and the current version of Downtown San Jose has deteriorated into Dante’s Inferno, take note of the stripped car body parked in front of a bar frequented by judges and attorneys.

Judges and Attorneys and an Italian restaurant & bar, cat house! Nothing shady there.

Fallon house

My brother worked at Frontier Village, I was so proud – he wore the full cowboy 🤠 regalia.. boots, hat, belt, bandana … I just knew he would be in the gunfight! I watched the performance with anticipation.. where is he..hmmm, the shootout was over, bodies removed and here came my brother with a broom and dustpan cleaning up after the event 😂

Loved that place

Miss that place

I remember the Frontier Village report card day. Free ride tickets for good grades.

Went with the whole family and friends for the KEEN radio station free days. With Diane Tyson and her family

What street is this?

#12 Moonlite Drive in Theater sign, 1966

1950-1956 folks dairy was on Bower Ave. One night the cows go out and ended up at the Moonlight Drive In. As kids our parents placed tomatoe lug boxes on the back seat so us kids could see over the front seat.

they wanted to see a mooovie.. lol

Another former drive-in location that’s pretty easy to delineate where the property line used to be. This one is behind Moonlight Shopping Center (where Cinema 150 used to be) where El Camino crosses over Saratoga Creek

I never got a chance to experience the Moonlite Drive-in but went to some of the other ones like the Frontier Drive-in, Spartan Drive-in and others.

Used to sneak in the Frontier Drive-in by jumping over the fence by the trees in the back !!

$1.50 a carload in the 70’s

Yep, we called it “The Buck Fifty”.

My Dad worked at Fry’s Grocery store in Moonlite shopping Center. My aunt and uncle also owned the deli inside of Fry’s.

my mom bought our groceries for home and her cafe at Fry’s for many years.

#13 Downtown San Jose, 1965

By ‘93 still had to get on a 737 by stairs. No rain, no problem. 😃

I loved the old school stairs from 1987-1993.

lol, they’d hand out umbrellas 🌂 you’d return as you boarded the aircraft at Terminal C back then. Good times!

In 1991, they opened up Terminal A, so we did not need to walk down on stairs. However my first flight to San Jose was back in Ja. 1991 by United and I had to take the stairs at Terminal C. I was totally surprised and wanted to drop the interview with IBM. Well, Terminal C was still around until 2009. They have leveled Terminal C. Terminal B, I guess it was opened before closing Terminal C.

Back from Nam and then took a cab home. March 1968.

My first view of San jose looking at Mt Hamilton as I stepped of the plane.

Lived across the freeway, on Guadalupe Parkway in the early 60’s.

I remember getting off the plane that way there long after other airports had the mobile tunnel entrances to the planes. I dug it.

It was small but actually a little city back then! Loved the Woolworth counter with my grandmother.

‘56 Chevy, MGA, Corvair

I remember eating at the counter good memories

In the seventies we were told to stay away from Fountain Alley because of the junkies

Almost looks like a still from American Graffiti. Great photo

#16 Highway 17, Los Gatos, 1960

47 Comments

What part of 17 is this I don’t recognize it?

how can you not recognize it it’s the bridge that connects the creek to the mill, there’s way more foliage these days now that it’s all grown back in

It looks like the section that runs under E. Main St. Los Gatos High School would be off to the right in that direction.

That could be Main Street LG, it doesn’t look like Blossom Hill Rd. or Lark Ave. Those are the only Hwy 17 overpasses in LG.

That’s Forbes Mill on the right of the bridge.

the water run off thing on the left got me confused because I can’t picture where that even exists if it even still does. I never remember the freeway looking like that. I was born in 75 so by the time I was 5 it was already sort of an old freeway with lots of trees and shrubbery.

When it was nice to drive no traffic

Old Town Footbridge to Forbes Mill.

U can really see Forbes mill.

Should have rebuilt the tracks!

#17 San Jose Hospital, 1964

Why did it close?

the bldgs needed earthquake retrofitting, cost prohibitive. Also many Medicare & MediCal patients in the general area & the Feds & State gave very low reimbursements.

Made on October 15th 1960

October 15, 1953. But not at SJ Hospital

My brother and I had our tonsils removed there June 1952 by Dr. Borden.

i had my tonsils removed there in 55 and eddgar bergan and charlie mcarthy visited me right after my surgery.

Born there in 54

My Identical Twin Sister and I were born in that Hospital in 1949 the Dr. Ragozen was who delivered was….however he nor my Parents were a where we were Twins until we were born…..

NY identical twin and I were born there in 1946. They didn’t know Mom was having twins either.

Is this O’connor Hospital or a different one?

O’Conner hospital is west of there off San Carlos st.

#18 East San Jose Carnegie Library, 1960

My father was a librarian with the City of San Jose and worked at ESJC in the late 80’s early 80’s. He started in 1967 and retired in 1998. 😀👍✌️

Wow! Those palm trees were planted a long time ago.

When it was being built.

What’s roads are those?

#19 The intersection of Hobson Street and Coleman Avenue, 1967

Hardcastle Auto Body

did you completely retire?

My father was born at home, 355 Hobson Street. 1931

I wish the house was still there!

My grandparents and aunts and uncles lived on Hobson and Anita which is a couple blocks north on this intersection

Our house was the second one on the bottom right

#20 San Jose Civic Center, City Hall, 1960

Much better looking building than current one.

Grew up two blocks away in the sixties

Remember that building!

I worked a couple summers in that building when I was home from college.

Not as beautiful as the older building that was on Market Street & Park Ave. with the underground drive through for the SJ jail!

#21 Beech-Nut Lifesavers Plant, San Jose, 1962

27 Comments

I think it was Beech Nut Baby Food….not Lifesavers….

lifesavers used it as a distribution warehouse for several years …..they even rented out space to a winemaker too….😁

No Lifesavers were made in San Jose…..it was a baby food manufacturing plant….

it was a distribution center in one of the unused warehouses…..believe me….I know this for reasons I won’t mention

yes, my Dad worked in the Baby Food plant, then transferred over to Lifesavers. He liked the Baby Food job better.

I thing it was Gurber Babyfood

Senter Rd down the street from Happy Hollow and the Japanese Tea Gardens

I was just going to ask where it was. Do you know if the same building is still there, and what occupies it now?

We had a landlord when I was young who worked there. He would bring us gum and goodies. The fruit stripe gum was my favorite.

Beechnut also made gum…..chiclets and black jack like Dawn Smallfoot mentioned

I worked There in 63, 64’ 65 in the purchasing department

#22 Bicyclists at opening of Guadalupe Freeway, 1960

#23 Bicyclists at opening of Guadalupe Freeway, 1960s

I rode my bike on Hwy 85 the day before it opened. Got on at Camden, rode to Saratoga. It began getting dark, and that’s when I realized the lights weren’t functioning yet. CHP waved as he passed me.

friend’s house backed up to 85 near Bascom, we had a bbq on the freeway, like a big block party, heh.

This freeway , is it 85 or 87? And picture states it was 1960, is that right ???

neither- this looks like 237. But no way is this 85 or 87. Both those freeways were early 90s

85 and 87 has been around for decades before the 90’s. They were just expanded in the 90’s. I remember my Dad test driving brand new 1971 Datsuns from Sunnyvale Datsun on 85 🙂

No, Your father might tried a different HWY. If you look at the bridges for 85 and 87, for example the one at Capitol Express Way and CA 87, columns, they are stamped 1993. The first section was opened back in April 1991 CA 85 between Cottle Road and Santa Teresa. By 1996, all parts of CA 85 Between HWY 101 and Steven Creek by I280 and CA 87 opened up. Before 1995, CA 85 section was between HWY 101 (Mountain View) and ended at Steven Creek. If you drive CA 85 south bound and pass I280, you see it would take Steven Creek exit if you do not turn to the left. Before 1995, CA 85 continued from Steven Creek to DeAnza Blvd and CA 85 was ended at cross DeAnza and HWY 9. For years you still could see the CA 85 signs at DeAnza Blvd. The reason for this was the Saratoga residents did not want to have access to HWY and they voted no for many years. They assumed at value of their homes would drop.

The area you’re talking about is the extension in the 90’s . 85 runs through Mountain View by El Camino where my Dad test drove his car in the 70’s 85 back then ran from 101 to 280 by Stevenscreek, they connected 85 from 280/ Stevencreek to South 101. You can look it up online it shows they both came to be in 1964

Where abouts on the highway was this picture taken?

I was there in the front row. IIt started on the corner of Heading next to where the California Army National Guard is. There was no raised 87 when it opened. It started at Heading. This view is the overpass over Hwy 17.

My guess is this is Guadalupe Parkway NB onto 101, not many overpasses on the old road.

i was trying to figure out where exactly this was

I remember getting to ride on 280 from 101 to 85 before it opened. When you’re in a car, you don’t notice the many grades there are on that road! Was a good workout…

#24 Old Italian Hotel, 1967

I worked in those 2 buildings !!!

yes. That was my great grandparents, then my grandparents, then my dad’s, Campbell’s Towing. He still owns the corner and leases it out.

Binis restaurant owned by Edith beanie and then the Yoshihara family remember those times very well

That Flying A sign is extremely valuable today.

32 cents for Reg

Where did you find this photo? I don’t think we have it.

#26 Aerial view of San Jose downtown, 1967

I would love so much to go back to that time….and get a do-over.

I see my Doc’s office in the medical dental building down Santa Clara st…….the city was still “quaint” then….

I see the Red Barn @6th St. I worked there in 66-67

This looks like the view from the Bank of Italy building

I think it’s a picture from my dentist office when I was a kid from the Bank of America building

I believe Bank of America building was on the other side of the street. I have crews on working on that building every single day, and the picture I posted is from the same observation deck.

1967 was the year we moved to the bay area. We rented a house in Los Gatos and bought it about a year later. We lived there 10 years and the divorce forced the sale of the house. Loved it there. I spent another 35 years in San Jose and then moved to Nevada.

#27 Heald Business College, 1968

Went to Heald’s after high school in 1964-65,

I wonder what became of the signage on the roof. It should be in History Park.

My Dad went there when he was dating my Mom back in the 1930s

That field is where the Blossom Hill Whole Foods store is now.

is that Kenny shoes right there on the corner

not sure what was on the corner back then.

Kenny shoes would have been at the upper left of the photo.

I worked at Payless drugs located there in the late 70’s That area has transformed so many times. But I never saw it look like this.

Is that building in the upper left the old Kinneys Shoes store?

I remember it well, old orchards and farm houses all allong Almaden rd. Slowly they got replaced with housing tracks. That’s right before the PW Super & Payless, . Pueblo plaza. The united California Bank. UCB. Almaden Fashion plaza -Emporium wasn’t there yet. To bad we can’t see the old Almaden Elementary school on the opposite corner

Yes you can see all the building behind that we’re all those apartment complex

yes definitely not a Mooney, the wheel covers make it fixed gear. Looks like a “Hershey bar” wing PA28 Cherokee.

There’s what, 4 tracks left? Unreal.

UP still works the “Mission Bay,” South San Francisco/Broadway and “rock jobs” to Redwood City 3-5 days a week, but out of Warm Springs/Milpitas/Watsonville Junction.

My dad worked there.

Is this the yard where the round house was located or the yard further north in Santa Clara?

At one point, it may as well have been. Newhall Yard was essentially from Santa Clara to College Park stations. The roundhouse was South at Lenzen and deconstructed and stored, not demo’d when the current PCJPB/Caltrain maintenance facilities were installed at the wye.

After FMC closed but before the buildings were demolished, this was the location of the single largest Girafa piece.

Looking north.

I actually got to walk into the yard to where that photo was taken. Found one remaining vertical steel beam protruding from the soil where the control tower used to be. Fence went up a few years after.

Like the Lenzen roundhouse, it’s memories like these that I’m blessed to have experienced before the world went to pot.

What year did the Bowling Alley on Bascome Ave burn ?

1961,I lived near Paul Swanson Ford and we heard the explosion from there

First and Santa Clara St; not San Carlos St

Not sure what this photo is but it’s NOT the boiler explosion at Thrifty next to JC Penny’s on 1st & Santa Clara Sts.

A neighbor of mine lost his whole family his wife and six kids were out shopping that day, and they were in the floor right above the boiler when it blew

How terrible. What year was that? Poor fellow what a tragedy.

This isn’t the JC Penny explosion at west Santa Clara Street in 1963? if not, what store is it?

The 19th century former library building currently housing the San Jose Museum of Art. The art museum opened in 1969.

It was the library when I was a kid.

spent so many hours sitting in those windows reading books as my mom was shopping at Woolworths and Pennys just around the corner

We would go there for storytelling when it was a library so so long ago. I’m glad it’s still standing.

#51 Reconstruction of First National Bank Building, 1963

Horrible desecration of a special building.

Incredible. I think this is a very rare photo, and it’s great that it has been preserved.

HEY.. At least they saved it. Today it would be torn down. For a high rise for Condos!!

My dad worked on it. I visited him on the roof one time.

If you listen to the photo closely you can hear people complaining that it’s too big for the neighborhood.

Lots of fun👩🏻‍🌾❤️

My first paying job at FV Lynn Johnson paid me 4 bits a day to water the stage coach horses 3 times a day. I love it!

That was fun 😊

No life vests, no waivers. The good old days!

Looks like it’s about to sink..

Well, at least they have their OSHA approved life vests on . . . OOPS! LOL

What could possibly go wrong?

I remember that so many decades ago

Rode it hundreds of times! I wish I had a picture of the petting zoo.. my friend brought home one of the guinea pigs in her pocket! It was wrong but that pig lived a long spoiled happy life! Oh the memories!

Okay heading north on 1st, hang a right at St James (or go thru the empty parking garage). Then you were heading south on 2nd. You have now completed your first of many cruise laps.

Time to drag the main again.

I remember those days! We used to drag the main. Down first Street and back up second Street for hours at a time.

This airplane seems to be a Piper PA-28 Cherokee.

If you grew up when and where I did, you know KXRX as the first radio station to play Grunge Rock. And also Roy Otis.

A Piper Cherokee 235 C , I believe I repainted this plane for an employee who bought it from the station in 1968 or 69 !

At night in the late 70’ “Double X” KXRX played some good easy rock.

Still there!

I sure do remember that house. Good memories of Lincoln Ave.

I saw this a lot. Miss our life in WG. Ken and I drove for Yellow Cab 🚕 for many years. We lived on the corner of Willow Street and Crescent

I used to drive by this building every day on my way to work. Back in the mid 80’s when I was pregnant, I decided that if it was a girl I would name her Laura, but I had all boys

Went there everyday during summer with my Cousin Phil Lopez. We would meet in front of Kelly Liquor’s and then walk to Ryland Park to swim all day. Linda Bourbon fun times

My brother and I spent so many summers there. I remember the “foot trough” with the milky sterilant on your way in and the rubber ankle/wrist ring they’d give you to claim your clothes and shoes. Your towel was always soaking wet for being on the pavement outside the pool but it heated up fast in the sun as you lay on your stomach on the hot pavement to warm up.

Loved going there.

yeah buddy the place to cool off in the summer! And I do mean cooool off! Haha 😄

Randy’s 1970 Datsun 240Z Safari Tribute

Z Car Garage has built several cars with our client  Randy Jaffe including the Rocketbunny Series1 240Z  and  #46 BRE Datsun 240Z driven by John Morton. In 2020 he acquired this cool 240Z East-African Safari Rally tribute and we helped him take it to the next level.

History and Acquisition

Randy’s Safari Z is a tribute to the original #11 car piloted to victory by Edgar Herrmann and Hans Schuller in the 1971 East African Safari Rally . Nissan campaigned three of these S30s in the rally, finishing 1, 2 and 7th place while handily beating Porsche’s and other marques along the way. It was a grueling race spanning over 3,800 miles and quite an achievement for the drivers and Nissan. #11 is currently displayed at the Zama Museum in Japan, still wearing its battle scars (more period photos in the gallery below):

Randy has always admired the Safari Z, keeping a 1/18th scale model on his desk for decades:

“I always loved the 1971 story where the Datsun Rally Z cars finished on the podium and just kicked ass over 3,852 grueling miles of torture!! A friend of mine built this car from an oddly enough a Safari Gold series 1 240Z – VIN 03227 with a 4/70 production date, Jim Faria – I almost bought the car from him in 2014 at San Diego ZCON but he decided he and daughter who do a few rally’s together which they did.”

Credit goes to Jim Faria for adding livery replicating the Herrmann/Schuller car with period front and rear spotlights, Nissan mud guards, rear grab handles, hood-mounted light pods and replica East African Safari plates:

The interior also features period touches like navigator’s equipment including 70’s route map, microphone headsets and rally timers:

Randy finally acquired the Z in 2020:

“Fast forward 6 years later at the 2020 Z Car Convention in Nashville.  Jim placed the Safari Tribute for auction on Bring a Trailer . I was like ‘Jim you are selling my car!’ Eventually I won the auction and the Z was immediately shipped to Z Car Garage and featured in a Nissan commercial – from there on together with Rob we took this tribute to the next level.”

Z Car Garage Preparation

Randy shipped the Z from Georgia to our shop in San Jose, CA and we were first tasked with preparing it for a Nissan TV commercial. The Safari Z tribute would be in the “60 Years in 30 Seconds” commercial as part of “The New Nissan” ad campaign starring actress Brie Larson. Here are a few shots from the filming location:

With a little green screen action and some actual dirt driving (somewhere in SoCal) Randy’s Z looks like it is actually ripping through the desert plains of Africa, watch the actual TV commercial below:

Photos from the off-road adventure were used in subsequent social media posts by Nissan…this montage shows video clips from an Instagram post with the Safari Tribute getting loose in the dirt:

After performing its duty filming with Nissan, the Z returned to ZCG so we could add the remaining touches that Randy wanted. Here it is at the shop, still wearing its dirt after a quick rinse. Let’s take a look at the details we added.

Randy wanted to proudly display this historic tribute in his collection, but more importantly (also why we love him), he wanted to drive it so people can see and hear the Safari Z in action. The stock L24 with SUs wasn’t going to cut it, this Z was getting the Jaffe-treatment with an engine to give it some go. A new 3.0 Rebello street race motor using a 10.5:1 head for pump gas was installed with a new 1982 280ZX 5 speed transmission and OS Giken 4.11 LSD.

We provided him with triple-Mikuni ph44 induction (as the original #11 Safari Z ran) complete with Harada intake, velocity stacks, linkages and Z Car Garage Heat Shield covering the Fujitsubo exhaust header:

Rob dyno tuned the 3L, producing 254hp/228tq at the wheels:

Enjoy this video of the Safari Tribute 240Z in action!

Small details can make a big difference, like functional Works-style side jacking points, rear bumper steps and twin-exit exhaust system. We worked with Randy to knock-out his list of items:

“Rob and Gary found a source for the rear mudflaps that are a dead copy of the originals along with their brackets and the vinyl mat that sat in the rear hatch area with the 2 spare tires on top! So many custom pieces to get it right and Z Car Garage made it all happen. We installed new race type seats from Jay at JDM parts along with his version of the original Seiko wheels which the car really needed! I found some 175 x 14 tires made for Postal Jeeps that look very much like the Dunlops originally spec’d. Of course the original car is right hand drive but I’m good with what I have done to the car – maybe find the set of Heuer Monte Carlo stop watches that ran on the dash and that will be it!”

Those rear bumper steps were fabricated to be just like the original pieces. Original car on the left with Randy’s tribute on the right:

At ZCON in 2020 Pete Brock demonstrated how these were used (with grab-handles) by the Safari drivers to literally “rock” the Z out of sticky situations:

Randy enlisted help from industry veteran Dan Passe (Director, Nissan Corporate Communications) who had a Zama Museum contact measure the O.D. of the twin-exit exhaust tail-pipes so we could replicate them:

Mudflaps wearing the “Datsun” (as the original Safari Z) logo were sourced to replace the existing “Nissan” units and also proper steel hangers were installed:

The original East-African Safari Rally cars wore Kobe Seiko Competition Works Rally-Magnesium wheels. These are difficult to source but reproductions are available. Randy is running a set from Jay Ataka of JDM Car Parts . Tires are hand-cut from a Postal service Jeep by Bryson from Classic Livery (of Leh Keen Safari 911 fame). Original on the left:

Inside, the original style REPA race belts were replicated as close as possible. The original Safari car ran Z432 seats, as seen on the Salt Flats 240Z we helped revive. These are also difficult to source so we used race-style seats from JDM Car Parts to replace to stock units:

Here is the Z at home in Georgia with Randy now featuring all of the parts/details:

Enjoying The Ride

Before heading back to Atlanta, Randy enjoyed driving the Safari Tribute during Car Week at Monterey. What a car to cruise in, and he even visited the paddock at Laguna Seca. Here are a few more shots from Randy of the Z in Georgia. We love his new “ZAFARI” (previously “SAFARIZ”) license plate:

We have many photos in the gallery below and don’t forget to see the Safari Z featured on Hoonigan Autofocus (now Larry Chen’s own channel) also looking at Randy’s epic Datsun collection.

Thank you Randy for your passion and continued support. We loved working with you to re-create fun details for the Safari Tribute. Long Live The Z!
