Beschreibung
Sold in the United States from 1984 through 1996, the 300ZX name followed the numerical convention initiated with the original Z car, the Nissan S30, which was marketed in the U. S. as the 240Z. The addition of the "X" to the car's name was a carryover from its predecessor, the 280ZX. The Z31 chassis designation was first introduced in 1983 as a 1984 Nissan/ Datsun 300ZX (the hatch lid had both a Datsun and a Nissan badge) in the U. S. market. The 300ZX, as its predecessors, was known as a Nissan in other parts of the world. This continued in the U. S. until the 1985 model year when Nissan standardized their brand name worldwide and dropped the Datsun badge. All publications for the Z31 chassis 300ZX and its predecessors were copyright Nissan North America. Designed by Kazumasu Takagi and his team of developers, the 300ZX improved aerodynamics and increased power when compared to its predecessor, the 280ZX. The newer Z-car had a drag coefficient of 0. 30 and was powered by Japan's first mass-produced V6 engine instead of the inline 6 of the previous Z-cars. According to Nissan, the new V6 engine was intended to uphold the sporty, six-cylinder spirit of the original Fairlady Z, but in a more compact and efficient package.
JUST OUT OF 25 YEARS IN HIDING! This vehicle was a test vehicle given to Road America race track as a Nissan sponsorship. The car served as an active pace car for most Road America events including, SCCA, IMSA, and Indy car from 1984 until1992. It also was featured as an advertising icon in Road America race programs and track advertisements during those years. The car was then sold as part of a package along with 17 other Nissan vehicles when General Motors took on Road America sponsorship. The car is all original including the tires and is in excellent driving condition. This is possibly one of the lowest number 300ZX in existence in the US. having VIN# ending in 000051. It also has both the Nissan and Datsun name badges on the rear deck lid as it served purpose in a transitional year for the Nissan Motor Company. The popularity and collectibility of Datsun and Nissan sports cars has risen dramatically in the last 2 years and is expected to continue to attract a new generation of classic car collectors. "Z" cars are super sporty, highly usable, and durable automobiles to drive.
