Intro:
For your consideration is this extremely nice condition, freshly detailed, 1991 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo in its factory original unmodified condition with its original twin turbo V6 engine and its original five speed manual transmission. This 300ZX has a clean title, clean Carfax, and has never been in an accident. It has had one owner since new (besides me). This 300ZX is an excellent driving car, has an exceptional condition exterior and interior, and has cold A/C. It has been well maintained including new timing belts being installed at 76,900 miles. The original window sticker is present as are the T-top bags and shades, dealer brochures, spare tire kit, and more. This is a very complete and original 300ZX Twin Turbo ready to be enjoyed as it sits.
Extensive footage is included for you here including 190 photos, a 15 minute video, and a detailed write up. This is a personal vehicle from my collection. I have been a Z car fanatic for over 25 years. I treat the listings of my vehicles very seriously and want buyers to be confident in what they are getting. See my 100% feedback and buy with confidence.

Photos:
190+ photos are provided showing much of the car including general exterior, exterior details, interior, engine bay, underbody, and more. Notice how glossy the paint is and how excellent the car looks.
Video:
A 15 minute video is provided showing the excellent condition of this 300ZX. Clips include exterior presentation, exterior details, interior, engine bay, drive by clips, and interior driving. Please note the excellent condition and glossiness of the body, great shape of the interior, and how excellent this 300ZX drives.
Exterior:
This 300ZX Twin Turbo is a stunning and beautiful example. It presents extremely well and is in impressive condition. The whole car, including the exterior, has been thoroughly polished and detailed in July 2024. The finish on this 300ZX is in excellent condition. The quality of the finish, color tint, and glossiness matches on all of the panels. The color is a metallic black pearl. The finish is shown very well in the photos and video. The finish is near perfect over many panels such as the hood, doors, quarter panels, hatch, roof, etc. Absent are issues like orange peel, peeling clear coat, extreme fading, runs, etc. There are of course, as to be expected, some very minor marks here and there but nothing that would be considered distracting to the presentation of the car. The car looks as great as it does in person as it does in the photos.
This 300ZX was never driven in Wisconsin winters thus never got road salt on it. Driving in the rain was avoided when possible the first few years and then the car was never driven in the rain after. The 300ZX was garaged since new. The exterior and underbody have been well preserved. There is ABSOLUTELY no rust to the body. Areas like the rockers, wheel well lips, door jambs, and hatch jambs are completely solid with absolutely no bubbling or repairs. It cannot be understated how solid this car is. The underbody like the floors and chassis are also fully solid. Present on the underbody is only some very typical for the age and something that has been actually driven, light surface corrosion on some of the hardware and other components. Many cars from the Midwest in this era received rust proof coating when new, which this 300ZX also had. The coating has helped preserve this 300ZX and can be seen in the engine bay and underbody.
As mentioned this 300ZX has NEVER been in any sort of accident. The body panels are straight, open and close properly, and have proper gaps. With an extreme detailed eye a few minor dings can be seen here and there which were not significant enough to be shown in the photos or video. One that somewhat shows up in the photos is on the driver side of the hood. This stands out much more in the photos than it does in real life and in the video. If one really wanted, paintless dent repair should be able to take care of any of this. The rear spoiler shows some typical aging which is normal for these cars as is some aging on the driver side tail light and center “300ZX” tail light section. Other than that the exterior is impressive. The windshield is original Nissan glass as is the remainder of the glass. The windshield has absolutely no significant impacts and no cracks. The glass throughout is in excellent shape with no issues to note. Weather stripping and moldings throughout are very good. It is common for the black to peel off of the roof moldings but the moldings on this 300ZX are in nice shape. The headlights are near perfect. The wheels are in impressive shape.
This 300ZX Twin Turbo is an impressive car cosmetically. It should meet the needs of someone wanting a stunning example that is of the condition where it can increase in value while also being driven and enjoyed.
Interior:
The interior on this 300ZX is also in impressive condition. It presents more like an example that has 40,000 miles or less. It has never been smoked in. There are no odd smells. There is almost no wear or aging to really note. The most significant items would be some typical signs of use on the shift knob and some slight bubbling of vinyl on the A-pillar. Other than that the interior is impressive. Both seats are in excellent shape with absolutely no rips or showing of excessive use. The foam is nice and firm and comfortable. The door panels are excellent with no real markings to note. Absent are cracks, peeling, or other issues with the dash, center console, controls, and gauge cluster. The climate controls and stalks present almost as new. The steering wheel is in excellent shape. The carpet throughout is in excellent shape. The headliner is excellent. Present are the T-top shades, storage bags, and luggage straps. The hatch area and tonneau cover are in nice shape. There are some typical scratches on the plastic in the hatch area from cargo.
One can tell this 300ZX has been well cared for with the condition of this interior. The interior is a comfortable place to be and essentially is a time capsule with how excellent of condition it is in.
Mechanical:
This 300ZX Twin Turbo is in its original specification with its original twin turbo engine, manual transmission, and other major components. This car has NEVER been modified, never tracked, and runs the stock boost amount. This 300ZX is ready to be driven and enjoyed and has been regularly maintained.
The engine on this 300ZX Twin Turbo performs as it should. There have never been any warning lights on. Absent are any kind of odd noises, smoking, or other apparent issues. It does not consume fluids. It has proper oil pressure and runs at a proper temperature, and makes the turbo boost that it should, all which can be seen in the video. The car accelerates briskly and goes through the whole RPM range nicely. It overall is pretty quiet. The only apparent thing that one could address at some point is there is a minor oil drip left under the car after it has been driven. The engine has received very important maintenance such as at 76,928 miles the timing belts being replaced as well as spark plugs, intake gaskets, fuel filter, and some injectors. Prior to that at 75,377 miles the cat back exhaust has been replaced. The exhaust is in original specification and size and is fairly quiet. The catalytic converter heat shields and pipes show some aging and look to be original. The engine oil was just changed in June of 2024
The transmission shifts excellently without any issues whatsoever. At 75,377 miles the clutch slave cylinder and clutch master cylinder were replaced with new parts. The clutch is strong and does not slip under full acceleration. There are no whines or other issues evident with the differential. CV boots are not ripped.
The suspension is in excellent condition. There are no odd clunks or sounds. The suspension feels tight and proper. The electronically adjustable struts still work and offer a noticeable difference going from soft “touring” to firmer “sport”. The tires are the proper stock size, have a significant amount of tread left, and are in great shape with no dry checking. The steering is excellent. The car goes down the road straight. The steering is communicative and feels like a proper sports car. The rear steering system (HICAS) is still hooked up and works properly. The brakes perform as they should and feel great without rotor warp or other issues.
The air conditioning on this 300ZX blows extremely cold! The HVAC switches and system functions great and properly. All of the gauges and odometer are working. Headlights, interior lights, windows, and locks are also functioning properly. The original Bose radio works but is faint.
This 300ZX Twin Turbo is an excellent running and driving sports car that is well sorted mechanically, unmodified, and is ready to be enjoyed as it sits.
Conclusion:
This is an excellent example of a Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo that should be driven and enjoyed. These are excellent, comfortable, and well performing cars. It is so difficult to find an original Twin Turbo that has never been modified. Due to that and its excellent cosmetic condition inside and out, this 300ZX should be able to maintain or increase in value as the next owner enjoys it. Hopefully the 300ZX will drastically increase in value like FD RX-7 and MK4 Supras have.
I am passionate about Nissan/Datsun Z cars. I have owned and enjoyed various 240Z/260Z/280Z including a vintage 260Z race car with 3.1L built engine and restoring a 280Z as a surprise present for my wife, 280ZX & 280ZX Turbos, Z31 300ZX Turbo, Z32 300ZXTT, 350Z daily driver, and 370Z daily driver. The 1990-1996 300ZX represents a special and iconic era of the Nissan Z.
Based on this 300ZX being essentially a single owner car, being in unmodified original specification, having an excellent condition body and exterior, and having some important recent maintenance performed like timing belts, I have tried to set the asking price fairly. If you do not think the asking price is fair, offers will be considered. The 300ZX is located at my residence in Sussex, WI 53089 USA. It is absolutely no problem if you need the car transported and I can refer you to transporters I have used. Pending distance and for a fee I could consider personally delivering the car in my enclosed trailer. I am open to various payment methods (wire transfer, cashier’s check, cash). This 300ZX has a clean title and is ready for your ownership.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I prefer chatting on the phone but text messages and messages through Ebay work fine too.
