Mohamed I have checked out several Z cars in California (used to live in San Diego - and when I lived in Oklahoma flew out there a couple times to go on Z hunts -- but I think the better cars are in New Mexico or Arizona. Also the market used to be more affordable in New Mexico (at least that was the case 4 or 5 years ago) Good Luck Dan

Is there anyone in the Detroit Metro area who could check out the car for Mohamed? I live in Holly Michigan, about 50 miles north of Detroit. I will be at the house all day today. Or could arrange a time to have the car viewed in Downtown Detroit during business hours anytime between Mon and Thursday. Mohamed has my phone number or I will check my private messages throughout the day.

John You are correct about the sticker in 76. The price jumped sharply from 1975 to 1976. It continued to jump in 77 and 78. I think my window sticker from one of my 77's was around 7900 and my 78 was closer to 10k. I was qouting a price from the magazine article for a 1975 280z and GT33. At that time the package more or less doubled the price. Dan

Montezuma sounds like a wise man

Mohamed, sorry, for the communication breakdown - I responded to your PM and sent you an email to gmail. I also sent you the photo of a white GT-33 that appears to have been taken at Bob Sharp Motors back in the 70's (it is sitting next to another GT-33) I have tried and tried to post that photo to this forum but could not get it uploaded. Would you mind trying to post it? Thanks Also, another interesting fact about the car: According to the 1975 article in Small Car Performance Magazine (if anyone has this, please post it or email it to me): The sticker price on a 280z was about $5000; The GT-33 stickered for $10,000 (if equipped with the full package) Dan

Thanks Carl If my memory serves correct - it will be on one of the last few pages - on the left page -- towards the top. It is a small photo -- shows a gold spoiler with white lettering GT-33 (identical to rear shot of my car) I used to have a few of them. Think the cover of one of the catalogs has a red/white/blue 280zx. I know it is in the 1982 catalog and in an earlier catalog but not sure about the later ones.

Having trouble uploading photos. Here are the two from the 2001 car show at Bob Sharp Nissan where I met Bob (somewhere I have photos of him sitting in the car)

So gnozez, you actually remember the poster of my car leading the pack at Road Atlanta. Wow. -- I am so happy to have people confirming what I know to be true. A couple other cool things have happened. I spoke with a gentleman who is interested in the vehicle. He is a personal friend of Bob Sharps. He call Bob last night and Mr. Sharp remembered my and confirmed its authenticity. Then I found a copy of a 1974 advertisement for the car, this is bieng included in the advertisement. A member of the now defunct Bob Sharp Racing Z Car Club, emailed me a photo of the car from the 2001 car show. Then the Mr. Sharp's friend emailed me a photo of a white and gold GT-33 (looks like it is sitting on the lot at a dealership). If anyone has the 1975 Small Car Performance Magazine article about the GT-33. Or if anyone has a 1980's BSR catalog and can scan the photo of my rear spoiler and email it to me, I would greatly appreciate it. I am attaching the photos. Hope you don't mind me having jumped into the conversation. Thanks to everyone for their interest in my car.
