Time for a history lesson: Who is the winningest driver in SCCA history? Answer: Jim Fitzgerald with an astounding 350. For years he terrorized tracks around the U.S. in this 1979 Datsun 280ZX, which is now up for auction on bringatrailer.com. Adam Carolla and his crew have kept it in shape and even ran it at the Monterey and Sonoma …
Yes, everyone here needs this. We can all share.
And the s130 chassis gets a bad rap from people about its "BarcaLounger suspension".... shoot, this chassis ran circles around the (much more powerful) competition. Owned two myself. Missed greatly.
I would LOVE to get a peek at dat suspension.
I sometimes debate whether Jim Fitzgerald or Larry Fitzgerald is the fastest Fitzgerald. I know it is not me as one could outdrive me with just his pinky finger and the other could out run/jump me without even trying. I usaully refer to Larry Fitzgerald as cousin Larry (we are not actually related, just share a last name) and I guess I should include Uncle Jim in my fake extended family as well.
Been gawking at the BAT submission pics with great perveness. Outright Z car pron.
Oh sweet automotive jesus I love this thing. I love my 280zx so seeing its race form getting appreciated brings a tear to me eye 
Kind of sad. At 55k I dought it will ever see any real racing again.
So on that note what would it cost to build that car so you could take it out and hammer on it.
2018$ for a GRM guy
Those made fantastic race cars, and yes I need that too!

You missed a digit.
$155K. 
Heard Adam talk about selling this on his podcast. Great looking car with some interesting history.

I came here to post this. Well, at least it isn't underappreciated.

I suspect it'll still run at historic events at places like Sonoma and Monterey. Given the values of the some of the cars running at least at Monterey, $155k is cheap as chips for a car that's get you in.
Would love to see this car move East and make it to the Mitty...
