I need some help from someone out there who can verify this story.  

Apparently in 1980 Datsun had an incentive for buyers of the new 10th
anniversary 280zx with an automatic transmission.  These buyers were
entered into a drawing and 3 winners were chosen.  The winners had
their cars sent to a Datsun Factory to have turbo factory installed
and then the car was returned to them.  Does anyone out there know
anything about this?  If you bought a 10th anniversary automatic in
1980 do you remember being entered into this drawing?  Does anyone
currently own one of these vehicles?  Is this story totally bogus?
Help!!!

If you don't mind, please send e-mail directly to me.  I'm posting on
every website, message board I can find so I probably won't be able to
check them all for replies - at least not on a regular basis.

Sounds bogus to me. If anything they would have done this dealer installed
or done before it was shipped. Retrofitting a turbo is a BIG job, the
engine/trans/electronics etc etc are all different.

I found this link while surfing.  Seems to me if such a thing existed, it
would be featured here:

Regarding the query about the alleged raffle for the turbo 280ZX 10th Anniv
Ed., and my last, failed post -- I tried to cut and paste a link.  I'm on my
laptop and I don't have my usual newsreader handy so I'm using Outlook.
Yeesh.  Here's that link:
