angliagt Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I've been wanting to do a B210 like the one in the '74 issue of Hot Rod Magazine, that was a project of Bob Sharp Racing. I was just thinking - is he still alive? - Doug Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I don't know but I hope he's still around one thing related to Bob Sharp is this Valve cover that's selling for $3k and it's cheaply spray painted lol. http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/pts/3389438446.html Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I think he died about a month ago....but that might be someone else entirely. Quote Link to comment
EVILC Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 He is alive and well. Still active in the CT Z club. CTZCC.COM 1 Quote Link to comment
2050-Z Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 If that's the b210 you're talking about, interesting discussion about it here: http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3578 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 As I recall, the article on that car doesn't mention Bob Sharp anywhere. Also, that issue is from '76 not '74. If that's the b210 you're talking about, interesting discussion about it here: http://japanesenosta...opic.php?t=3578 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Bob Sharp's team did race a B210 though. This one? Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Bob Sharp's team did race a B210 though. This one? God that car looks SOOOOO good. How did we manage to stray so far from this sexy metal beasts to this ugly crap we have now? Quote Link to comment

angliagt Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 That's the one! I should have bought a White '74 when I had the chance.I couldn't find one,but should have tried harder. If you'll pardon the pun - that sure is a sharp looking race car. - Doug Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 No - the magazine is the July 1974 issue - the did an article on a project car that Bob Sharp's shop built.It was a street car,not a race car. Yes sir. The one I just posted. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Bob Sharp is alive and well. NissanSport magazine did an interview with him in the latest issue #24. Quote Link to comment
alabama_lowlife Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 I'd never seen that Nissansport magazine before. Do you subscribe to it? Is it any good? Quote Link to comment

KELMO Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Yes, I am a subscriber. It seems to be more Nissan and Infiniti stuff but they definitely cover Datsuns. They did the Bob Sharp article and a couple issues ago had a VERY nice dime on the cover (pretty sure the owner of that dime is a member on here). It is a quarterly publication and is done quite well. I don't believe I have ever seen one on a newstand or bookstore.......I am Kelmo and I approve this publication(oh wait....elections are over).

Thanks, I may just have to subscribe. I'd never heard of that magazine before, but I've never been into the go fast or racing stuff either. But anything dedicated solely to nissan/datsun is cool with me. Quote Link to comment
OkieRA29 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I see that nissansport mag at Barnes and Nobles all the time. The issue on the stands right now has a big Bob Sharp spread on the cover Quote Link to comment
