From the start, the Z cars were recognized as a great overall
package thanks to great handling, efficient engines, and
comfortable interiors. The evolution to the Z31 generation, like
the car you see here was a radical change in styling, and the price
went up with it. The cars were a great bang for the buck, but the
higher price point than other competitors meant that the cars
didn't move off the showroom floors as quickly as expected. The Z31
generation Z has aged well, and a number of examples are popping up
that are in great condition. So many great examples still popping
up here and there are a testament to the build quality and the care
that the Z owners felt the cars deserved. The example that we offer
for your consideration checks all the right boxes, especially that
of this generation Z being a model that is quickly becoming a
collector car. There are a few points where evidence of its age can
be found: a few nicks or small scratches in the paint, the familiar
wear on the paint of the outer door handles. All pretty minor
cosmetic blemishes, and to be expected from a highly original 36
year old car. The important thing to keep in mind is the condition
of the body itself - clean and solid. Panel gap is just how it
should be, paint is glossy and even throughout, chrome trim is very
nice, T-Tops are clear with nice seals, lights and lenses are in
great condition, and you can't miss the condition of those bright
alloy wheels! This is a car that has been very well cared for by
one family, and just the way we like cars - garage kept. Getting
behind the wheel is a treat, not only to drive this awesome
classic, but it's also a visual treat. An '80's visual treat.
Comfortable leather seats, glass t-tops, graphic equalizer on the
(big) stereo, thick steering wheel and shifter close at hand, and
the piece d'resistance: the digital gauge cluster. The interior is
in very nice condition, and like the exterior, it's obvious that
the interior was well cared for just as the rest of the car was.
Under the hood is a 2.9L V6 which output plenty of power and torque
compared to performance cars of the day. A 5 speed manual gearbox
handles gear selection while power is delivered to the rear wheels,
just as all generations of Z cars preceding. The Turbo version of
the Z was slightly quicker than the V6, but the reviews from the
experts were all around positive in regard to the Z31 generation Z.
The 300ZX was an all new design to replace the outgoing 280ZX, and
although it was a big change from the familiar shape of the
previous Z cars, it was a positive change. The 300ZX performed
well, offered a luxurious interior, and possessed handsome good
looks. It could be driven gingerly around town, and taken to the
track or autocross on the weekends. Style and performance were
areas that the Z was not challenged in. This one family owned Z is
a beautiful example of a Japanese sports car that is quickly
becoming a collector car. Be sure to check out all the photos and
