Black Beauty 280Z

Can anyone find me some pictures of the Black Beauty 280Z? I am thinking of making mine into a replica.

Cheers, Ross

Never head of this before? Who is Black Beauty 280Z?

[RossT]

Hmmmm,

Perhaps I need to make myself clear.

While snuffling around an old bookstore a few months back I saw a magazine with a Z car ad on the back .... this was for a car they called the 'Black Beauty' 280ZX. The car was some sort of limited edition, with black paint job and gold highlighting, and a well featured interior.

Not being horribly smart I didn't buy the magazine, didn't check the date and now can't find it. (In my defence, my girlfriend was dragging me out of the store by my hair at the time!!)

It is possible that this is some sort of local variant I guess .... doesn't seem likely.

Anyone know anythin'??

Ross.

I've got the original tv commercial for the black gold edition if anyone wants to host it.

I was looking at the window sticker on the site I posted. I wish I could find someone who would paint my Z that nice with black pearl matellic paint for $90.00

P.S. How come 95% of Z pictures on the web have the hood up?

Its just a classic car pose. Who do Body builders have their muscles showing? Why do the bikini girls lay over the hood of cars? Just a classic pose. I, however, see alot more Z photos with hood closed than I see open.
