Built By Spartan Motorcars in San Marcos, CA
The 1986 Spartan Series II departs from other neoclassic cars in that its based on the contemporary Nissan 300ZX chassis, rather than a domestic platform, which means you get not only the tried and proven reliability and great performance of the legendary 300ZX but with the renown durable 3.0L V6 engine along with the neo classic look!
With the 300ZX as a starting point, the 'Spartan Motorcar Company' of San Marcos, California, added bodywork that evokes the feel of a 1930s classic whilst the driver and passenger get to enjoy the reliability and performance of 1980s Japanese high-tech sophistication. The cockpit is pure 300ZX and features digital instruments and a button-laden audio system with a graphic equalizer. The Spartans powertrain is also pure 300ZX, powered by a 3.0-liter SOHC V6 that Nissan rated at 160 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque when new. The engine features a cast-iron block, aluminum cylinder heads, and electronic fuel injection.
This particular example is coated in a classic 'Burgundy' color paint with a matching leather interior and chrome wire wheels. Under the hood of this classic is the smooth running 300ZX 3.0L V6 engine with only some 7K original miles with a clean Carfax report to confirm both the cars history and mileage.
Inside this retro classic you will find a matching 'Burgundy' leather interior that continues with that theme of luxury. The high back bucket seats are extremely comfortable and are separated by a striking matching color interior overall. All of the gauges work as they should as does the A/C system which blows nice and cold and the factory AM/FM/Cassette player delivers a great sound.
The car is powered by a strong 3.0L V6 Nissan 300ZX with only some 7K original miles and matched to a 4 speed automatic transmission with overdrive.
Spartan II's have reportedly been owned by such luminaries as Joan Collins; Eddie Murphy; Telly Savalas; Tony Dorsett; and Larry Holmes.
The car drives exactly like a well maintained and extraordinarily low mileage example should and must be driven to be fully appreciated and seen to be believed! The engine is extremely strong with no oil leaks, the transmission is very smooth and the engine temperature always remains cool. Turn-key ready, this particular model must looks and drive exactly as when it left the San Marcos, CA showroom floor almost thirty-eight years ago!
