"Forbes Fact

Z cars won ten consecutive SCCA C-Production championships, and in 1979, Paul Newman's team won in a 280ZX-bodied 240Z. Newman also raced the first production Z sold in the U.S., which is now owned by Jim Frederick of Tampa, Fla. The first Z of any kind sold in the U.S. went to the Bob Sharp Racing team in late 1969. It is still raced in vintage rallies and is now owned by Dr. Allen Robbins, who lives outside Rochester, N.Y. "

 

Now that's cool.

They goofed by showing the 2+2 260Z, but otherwise a cool article.
