Summary

Over nearly three decades of ownership, this 1990 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo has received extensive preventative maintenance, thoughtful upgrades, and careful preservation. The majority of major mechanical work has been completed using genuine OEM Nissan components whenever available.

This Z32 has spent much of its life in climate-controlled storage during my deployments and has always been maintained with long-term ownership in mind. It represents an exceptionally well-preserved example of Nissans iconic Twin Turbo and is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.

Buyers Note

This is a 36-year-old classic vehicle, not a brand-new car. While it has been exceptionally well maintained, extensively serviced, and carefully preserved throughout its ownership, normal signs of age and use should be expected. As with any classic vehicle, there may be minor cosmetic imperfections or age-related characteristics that do not affect its overall performance or reliability.

The vehicle is being represented honestly and accurately and is an outstanding example of a well-cared-for, enthusiast-owned 1990 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo.
