Who had money on a 280ZX selling for $200k ?

https://www.hemmings.com/stories/1980-datsun-280zx-sells-for-231000/

28 miles on it and a limited edition, but it wasn't Mr. K's or Paul Newman's car or anything.

I have an unreasonable love for the 280ZX, and even I think that's nuts.

28 miles?  I don't get it.  You never got to enjoy it?

I buy the new Civic Type R but it sits?  I tell my buddy it's an awesome car but I never drove it but it is an awesome car to drive?

Maybe this picture was taken just before the Auction? IMO the could have mixed up the interior colors a bit,it is all red. But the outside looks amazing

When I saw the color scheme, I thought there maaaaaybe part of it, but still.

They didn't drive as well as the early cars, but still had a bit of charm to them.

Years and many more years ago, a dude had a ZX-R, told him that was a rare bird.  He thought some kid added the wing and side decals to an otherwise stock car.

I wonder if any of those still exist.

This one that is the subject of this post is a neat car, I think I saw one of them in the wild way back when, most were gold/black.

Saw that as well. While growing up, a friend’s dad had a 280ZX. At the time, it seemed so modern, so exciting. (Just thinking about it, I want to say it came from Bob Sharp Datsun.)

And we saw this car at Mecum’s summer Kissimmee sale. Yeah, it looked brand-new. 

Okay, you pushed me to load this one up.

My friend's father worked for Bob Sharp back then.
 

There was an ad for Bob Sharp Ferrari in my high school yearbook.

Cool. And I guess I did remember things correctly.
