This Nissan Z31 300ZX got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1985 Nissan 300ZX shows just 51k miles and is finished in Wine Metallic over a red leather interior. Sold new in New Jersey, the car reportedly remained with its original until August 2018, and was acquired by the selling dealer in February 2019. Power comes from a naturally-aspirated 3.0L V6 paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, and features include removable glass roof panels, cruise control, air conditioning, a power driver’s seat, and a factory AM/FM/cassette stereo. Maintenance performed by the selling dealer is said to have included a new steering rack and new rear shocks. This Z31 is now offered by the selling dealer with a clean Carfax report, owner’s manual, and a clean New Jersey title.
