Steve,
That is a fascinating story in the paper. I was really surprised it was on the
front page. I noticed also that they did not mention what happened to the
Datsun. But then again, I'm sure it didn't sell for $4,000,000 like the Daytona
Coupe did. Here is link to the story in the paper if anyone is interested.
After all, Peter Brock did design it :-)
