For Sale: 2006 Nissan 350Z in Crete, Illinois

Gateway Classic Cars is proud to present the 2006 Nissan 350Z Convertible. With just 17,198 miles on the odometer, this Roadster is an absolute time capsule. Finding an "untouched", bone-stock Z33 generation 350Z is becoming a monumental task-finding a convertible example with mileage this low is nearly impossible. This stunning sports car represents the highly desirable 2006 mid-cycle refresh, offering an ideal blend of Japanese reliability, timeless open-air styling, and a track-tested chassis that feels just as tight and precise as the day it rolled off the showroom floor.

Mechanical & Performance
Under the hood sits Nissan's legendary 3.5L V6 (VQ35DE) engine, a powerplant world-renowned for its snappy throttle response, bulletproof reliability, and iconic metallic exhaust note.

Drivetrain Layout: Built on Nissan's celebrated FM (Front Midship) platform, the engine is pushed far back behind the front axle line. This clever engineering achievement delivers a near-perfect front-to-rear weight distribution, sending power exclusively to the rear wheels (RWD).

Suspension & Handling: Power meets the pavement through an advanced, lightweight aluminum independent multi-link suspension at all four corners, offering flat cornering and razor-sharp steering dynamics.

Exterior & Open-Air Styling
Finished in its sleek factory lines, this 350Z Roadster looks as if it has been preserved in a climate-controlled bubble. The power-operated insulated soft top drops seamlessly at the touch of a button, instantly transforming this sharp coupe into the ultimate weekend cruiser.

It rides on its gorgeous factory 18-inch 5-spoke aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in a performance-staggered tire setup (wider in the rear) to anchor the car's aggressive stance.

The dual-exit exhaust with polished chrome tips hints at the sports car pedigree waiting under your right foot.

Interior & Comfort
Inside, the driver-centric cabin looks and smells remarkably fresh, completely validating the low 17k mileage figure. Structurally bolstered sport bucket seats hold you firmly in place, while a three-gauge center binnacle pays direct homage to the original 1970 240Z. Because it's a premium drop-top trim, it comes loaded with standard power amenities, crisp climate control, and a premium audio system designed to be heard even with the top down and the highway rushing past.
