Paul Newman’s 1979 Datsun 280ZX Is For Sale

Some our favorite actors have also dabbled in auto racing. James Dean, Steve McQueen, and Gene Hackman have all hopped behind the wheel of a four-wheeled rocket. But of all the actors with a need for speed, Paul Newman is our favorite and probably the most strongly tied to the sport. If you agree, perhaps you should get in on this sale. Paul Newman’s 1979 Datsun 280ZX, which was seen in Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman, is up for sale. Newman’s love of Nisson/Datsun began in the late ’70s, after he switched allegiances from Ferrari and Porsche. This 280ZX saw an extensive restoration and came out glimmering. Decked out in period-correct logos, this Datsun is a stunner with plenty of history. If interested, contact Motorcar Classics to make an offer.
