Legendary Race Car & Crazy Stories: Tom Bought Linda Sharp's Datsun 2000 Roadster | Barn Find Hunter

Introducing SCCA royalty: a car that has more history and drama attached to it than most SCCA legends combined. This car has ties to Bob Sharp, Jim Fitzgerald, and Paul Newman, and was mainly driven by Linda Sharp, who later became an IMSA driver, a well-known journalist, radio broadcaster, and race announcer. Tom is here to buy it after hearing about it 25 years ago. Follow along as he pulls the car out and finds hundreds of Nissan Factory performance parts and irreplaceable memorabilia from its heyday.
