History

During the winter of 1971 into early 1972 Bob Sharp Racing built three B Sedan SCCA 510 race cars. Number 33 was built for Bob Sharp, number 38 was built for Jim ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald and number 75 was built for Paul Newman. These three race cars competed in the 1972 and 1973 seasons. Bob Sharp and Paul Newman would race in the Northeast Region while Fitzy raced in the Southeast Region. Fitzy would win the SE division and came in 3rd in the 1972 Runoffs at Road Atlanta while Bob Sharp took the National Championship title in the #33 510 and retired the car at his home.

 

These three 510’s were the first BSR race cars to wear the red, white and blue livery. Paul would crash the #75 510 in practice at the Runoffs in 1973 at Road Atlanta so Bob had a few of his guys in CT go to his house load up the 1972 Championship #33 510 and trailer it down to Atlanta. Paul’s #75 car was a complete total so they decaled the #33 car with Pauls’ #75 and Paul was the only Bob Sharp racer to finish the final race of 1973. Paul asked Bob if he could buy the car after the race and he did. Paul repainted in the car in his silver and black Smith livery which is now owned by John Baldwin in LA. The #38 510 is the only red, white and blue 510 left of the three.

 

Attached is a letter to a previous owner of the #38 from Bob Sharp authenticating the car and VIN – PL510-348692.

 

The #38 Bob Sharp 510 race car represents one of the most historical 510 race cars of all time! This car was invited to the Amelia Island Concours D’ Elegance in 2020 and represented the only Datsun on the grass on Sunday. I also attended a Christmas party in FL where Bob and I got to hang out the entire day and talk about this car and many of the others. He did sign the car in several places and he personally awarded the car of the party to this 510. Fitzy’s daughter MJ is also seen in a few pics at Amelia Island – she was thrilled as she hadn’t seen the car since she was a kid in 1973.

 

The car has a new 1.8 L Rebello motor with zero hours. The car has all of its regional catch cans, brake reservoir, radiator, battery box, seat, gauges and many other custom fabricated parts built by BSR. The car is prepped and ready to race. See more photos in the for sale listing HERE
