bob sharp and paul newman raced the 280zx but as far as I know no special edition was sold, there was a ZXR edition which was basically a stripped down car with a whale tail, they sold 1000 to make the whale tail legal for racing

Yea, I have heard of such a car. There was one for sale local to me, it is a ivory/tanish brown two tone car. They all were the same color IIRC.

LOL .. I remember going to Sears Point and Laguna Seca in the 80s and shooting tons of photographs .. of the IMSA races ...

I've got to find them, boxes and boxes worth .. and scan/digitize them.
