Nissan 300zx Turb0 21,000 Miles Rare Red on 2040-cars

1985 Nissan 300ZX TURBOCHARGED - NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN THIS ORIGINAL / UNMOLESTED / RUST FREE CONDITION. This awesome 300ZX TURBO, with t-tops, has the upgraded digital electronic luxury package (a $2,500 add on) upgraded stereo w/wheel controls equalized DSP stereo system and steering wheel controls), t-tops, air dams, and spoilers it is 100% unmodified original.

This is the pinnacle of the Z31 cars. Nissan built very few in this color scheme (can be verified on the Z registry).  This car is one of those "diamonds in the rough" that everyone mistakes for much newer. It may be one of the lowest mileage 300's in the Country. With only 21000 miles it will wow at any car event.

This is an awesome car to own, drive, or simply look at. It has been meticulously cared for, kept in a controlled garage under a 300ZX OEM cover, and never driven in the rain. Car has always been properly stored and only used in ideal conditions.

* PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CLEAR PLASTIC HAS NEVER BEEN REMOVED AND IS STILL ON THE STEREO, A/C.

For a Nissan purist, it is definitely a great piece of history. Be the envy of other 300 owners when you pull up at Nissan shows or enjoy it on Sundays.

The Red paint shines like it was still 1985. There is no body damage or accidents, and it was Ziebarted when new. All of the moldings, handles, window glass, lettering, roof panels, rubber seals, and all other exterior features are in super condition. The door panels, t-top bags, sun shields, carpeting, dash, center console, faceplates, etc. are original and show no wear. The wheels have no abuse and the tires have are new. It drives straight down the road and sticks like glue in the curves. It will stop on a dime with 4 wheel disk brakes!

 Never run through an automatic car wash and always hand washed /waxed and is why it looks so fabulous. The undercarriage is dry, original, and rust free too. . 

On the inside, the Tan/Charcoal interior still looks, feels, and smells like new. As you can see in the pics, the seats have always been covered and have the TURBO logo on them, and the original floor mats have always been protected. The door panels, t-top bags, sun shields, carpeting, dash, center console, faceplates, etc. are flawless. All of the interior buttons / switches - power windows, door locks, cruise, hatch release, fuel door, and even the clock keeps perfect time. It has the original luxury stereo, w/15 band equalizer, ambient controls for driver, passenger, plus defeat. You may pinpoint sound to come from any corner or blend to your favorite sweet spot.  The spare tire compartment still has the orig. spare and never been on the ground, inflator canister, jack, bolts are still in place. The interior is original. Mechanically, it starts, idles, and drives smoothly as you would expect a "well-oiled" machine would. All of the servicing is up to date - fuel injector recall, a/c, belts, timing belt, hoses, fluids all changed and maintained at the proper intervals, The engine compartment / undercarriage are spotless, and it performs without hesitation. With the Turbocharger you have power to spare and can feel it in the seat of your pants when the boost glues you to the seat. The Turbocharger still has factory boost (approx 4 lbs. and has never been exceeded or modified). As I understand it, it is about half of its capability. It scares me to think of the power it would produced if were to be adjusted any higher. I just added K&N Turbo Flow filter and NGK Iridium sparkplugs ($16.00ea) that alone gave a noticeable boost. The 5 speed engages easily and has that new car snap and precision. The clutch is like new. It also has the adjustable 3 set suspension. The A/C is blistering cold and the climate control monitors cabin temp and air flow, diverting the flow of air from re-circulate to reduce dust and pollen to fresh air to directing it to the floor or dash vents. The brakes have plenty of pad left and stop you with confidence. All of the other mechanical functions perform without issue. If you are looking for an unmolested; hard to find 300ZX here you go. These cars are few and far between and will surely appreciate in the years to come. I think it is priced very fairly compared to the others listed on ebay and what else exists. Let's put it this way, there is no way anyone would be disappointed in this car.

  *****Now for the record.**** (ABOVE IS THE ORIGINAL AD) This was how the car was described on e-bay and I was led astray by this charlatans' extravagant description of this vehicle. Granted the car cosmetically is showroom but I have listed below the repairs I have had to do to bring car to live up to its description. I was led into a lie by a charlatan that continues to misrepresent vehicles to this date and always sells outside of E-bay. I should of been suspicious when I told him I was going to fly down and drive it back to NC, he protested adamantly stating "a car like this shouldn't be subjected to road hazards" he knew it wouldn't make it to the Dade Co. line! I was very na?ve to buy this car sight unseen and not driven , I had my cousin go look at it in Miami….. it was a poor report from him, all he said was, “the car was pretty”, (and cosmetically it is beautiful), I am sure he did not drive it or look under the hood. I was so excited I bought it even after extensive questioning over the phone to the seller as to the condition of this vehicle. This is my second Z and I knew its weak areas He boldly lied to me at every question, I posed; (and even worse I believed him), and since I have been contacted by others that he has misrepresented their vehicles. I have reported him to E-bay with no success from them, and to the IFD (Internet Fraud Division of the FBI) nothing came of it and he continues to sell Z’s and VETTE’s and other exotics never seen a sale as he always puts Reserve Not Met to avoid E-Bay fees.

Below is the list of what I had to repair. I WILL NOT SELL THIS CAR TO ANYBODY WHO WILL NOT COME TO SEE/drive IT FIRST!

. Car was used very little after 15,000 mi. mark. It was garaged and suffered some degradation from 28yrs. of non use not neglect.  This Z has been gone over and whatever was bad or non-functional was repaired or replaced. The paint, tires, battery, have been replaced due to obvious reasons. This car has been gone over with a fine tooth comb and restored to its former state; cosmetically, mechanically, and functionality. So that you are aware of the expense involved I have itemized a great deal of the work performed. Restoring it to a car that wears its original 21,483 miles proudly. And also meets its original description. Cosmetically/Mechanically this is one Awesome Head Turning Z !
