Vehicle Description
The survivor label can sometimes be used loosely, so make sure that
you read the full info to understand just how much of a TRUE
SURVIVOR this 1985 Nissan 300ZX T-Top really is. It's a documented
one-family car that has a well-respected and well-presented total
package.
The original warranty card shows this was sold brand new only about
two hours from our showroom. It's a coupe that has stayed with this
original family for nearly 35 years. It has only recently left the
original dynasty, and because that was only to a dealer, your name
will be the first person ever on the title that's outside the
original family. That kind of history is fun to talk about, but
what's really attractive is how this one also wears its respect
with pride. The red paint is still the factory application, and
while the odometer reflects the actual mileage, you can tell this
one has only been enjoyed responsibly. So we'd all like to still
look this preserved after more than three decades. The factory
alloys are bright, the headlights rest flush, the doors close with
confidence, and the body panels retain the crisp look that made
this generation of sharp-edged Z-cars so sporty.
Nissan had moved up further in the market with this generation
300ZX, and the interior really showcases this nicely. The leather
front bucket seats feel great, and continue the survivor feeling,
right down to the 300ZX stitching in the backs. You've got great
factory features like power windows, power locks, power side
mirrors, a rear defogger, and a rear wiper. Plus, you have
provisions for the factory AM/FM/cassette stereo and air
conditioning (they will need servicing before fully functioning
again.) And of course, we all love the T-tops, and this comes with
the correct panel inserts and storage bags. This is built to be a
driver's car that's why your seat power adjusts to the ideal
position. The multi-function steering wheel is on a tilt column,
and it gives you a clear view to the optional full digital gauge
package that's pure retro-cool. This is the optional back seat
model. Not only are they fine for occasional use, but also they
fold down to give you extra cargo room. This extra luggage capacity
combines with features like cruise control and the four-speed
automatic transmission w/overdrive to deliver a classic sports car
that also is genuinely a great modern road trip machine.
Under the hood is the correct 3.0-liter fuel-injected V6. It looks
just as well-respected and maintained as the rest of this car, and
with such a good family history, it's hard to believe this is
anything but the original powerhouse. It embodies the best you
expect from a Japanese sports car with an engine that fires up
readily, idles nicely, and shifts smoothly. The fully independent
sports suspension and four-wheel power disc brakes make for a fun
driver. And the power steering and well-done ride make it an
all-around great driver.
This survivor comes complete with both the owner's manual and
original warranty card. This is the new era of Japanese classics,
and it's becoming much harder to find a well-preserved example with
a one-family history. Call now!
