i think the white one looks pretty cool. i like the decals. they look kinda retro on the white car, like they could have been on a car from mr. sharp's era. i would love to know if those stripes/decals are under the clearcoat. if they are than this would be a genuine special edition. if not, than most likely it was all planned and executed at the dealership, with the help of bob sharp.
pretty good idea if you ask me. you get to offer a one of a kind car, and make some extra money on the deal. the fact that it pays tribute to a nissan racing legend makes it even more cool. good for them.

I salute the man for being a legitimate racer, but the car could of been a lot better. Most of the rides here look a lot better than what the dealer, or he is selling. Basically, they took a stock Z and added a few things. The stripes and GT33 are hideous that it looks like cars in the 3rd world country would sport these. For the price, I guess you can't compare it to other domestic's like Parnelli Jones, Shelby, Rousch and Saleen.

I think that's exactly what they did

Kind of like the CAPO Chevys from years past -- available only from one dealership, and now are worth a bundle -- if you can find one!

I don't begrudge the dealership doing what they're doing, and Bob Sharp is a legend. It's not my cup of tea, but I certainly wouldn't feel "used" if a dealership wanted to use my name (with my permission) to possibly sell more Zs.

I live 30 min from the dealership... it's a well known dealership in the area that's been there for a while. Only place locally to get a Z in a stick too, the other dealerships just carry auto convertables for all those prissy daddy's girls out there. It's just one of those "cool" things a dealership does to make money. That's like why would somone want a famous persons car... some people would pay doubble the price for a lambo cuz some rap star owned it and customized it.

John Morton, Peter Brock, Bob Sharp, Sam Possey, Paul Newman and the list goes on. They all were early Z car racers.

This is clearly a local dealership build and not really anything special unless an autograph on the car is that important to you.

I don't care for the cheap looking graphics. But that is only my
