Automatic transmission with overdrive, power steering, 4 wheel disc brakes, cruise control, power windows, power mirrors, power lumbar seat support, tilt wheel, ac, smoked glass t-tops. I purchased this car new in 1985. Until November 2011, it was kept in Oceanside California where it spent 20 1/2 years in storage. It has never been driven in salt and is completely rust free. It was always garaged when not being driven. The original paint is not faded at all and shines like new. Except for a couple small nicks and scratches and a small dent in the right rear fender (see photo), the car looks like it did when I bought it new in December 1985. The interior is mint. The seats, carpet, and headliner are in like new condition with no wear, tears, stains, or fading at all. The vinyl looks brand new with no cracks, scratches, or fading. The car has never been smoked in. Except for the FM radio and the cruise control, everything works. Nothing needs to be fixed. The car was in storage in California for 20 1/2 years until November 2011. Right after taking it out of storage, I replaced the battery, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, differential grease, rear brake pads, air and fuel filters, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, and belts. As a precaution, I also replaced the timing belt and water pump and put 4 new tires on the car. In December 2011, Nissan replaced the fuel injectors due to a recall. Since taking it out of storage, I’ve driven it about 1,000 miles. The car starts, idles, and runs like new. There are no fluid leaks at all. None! Except for the cruise control and FM radio, everything works; Nothing needs to be fixed. Although the car is a 1986 model, because of its storage, use, and maintenance history, the car's condition is more like what you’d expect to find on a well maintained, late model, California car. Potential buyers are welcome to come and inspect this Z. You will be amazed how fresh and clean the car is and how well it runs. I’m sure it will exceed your expectations. I’m moving and will no longer have room for the car, so I have to part with it. Please feel free to call Frank at 715-203-1430, I’ll be happy to answer any questions, provide more information, or email receipt copies and a Carfax report to verify the car’s history. (see the following for a more detailed history)
Car History Highway Miles, 1986 – 1991, Florida, California I bought this car new in December 1985 after returning to the states from a 3 1/2 year middle east work assignment. I planned to take some time off to tour FL, the south, and south west and looked for a car that was fun to drive, but comfortable, and roomy enough for a couple suit cases. After test driving the Toyota Supra, Chevy Corvette, and the Porche 944, I liked the 300ZX best and put 22,000 highway miles on it in 1986, the first year I owned it. Over the next 4 1/2 years, I used the car only for pleasure while living in CA and drove it another 25,000 miles before putting it in storage in July 1991. The car remained in California storage for 20 1/2 years. Storage, 1991 – 2011, California In July 1991, I took another overseas work assignment, so I put the car in storage with the intention of returning in 24 months. At the time, I considered selling it rather than storing it, but it looked and ran like new, and there was no other car that I liked more, so I kept it. My plan was to return to CA after working overseas, but instead I ended up working in and eventually buying a business in WI, so to make a long story short, the Z remained in CA storage for 20 1/2 years. Maintenance, November 2011 In October 2011, I went to Oceanside, CA planning to take the car out of storage and selling it out there. I told a mechanic that I was planning to sell the car that week, and to do whatever was necessary to start it. He changed the oil, flushed and replaced the coolant, installed a new battery, new fuel filter, new thermostat, fresh gas, and cleaned the fuel injectors and surprisingly the car started right up and ran great. After seeing and driving the car again, I couldn't part with it. The mechanic recommended that, if I was going to keep the car, I should, as a precaution, replace the timing belt, because if it broke, the engine would be ruined. So I had him replace it. While he had the car apart, he also replaced the water pump, the camshaft seals, and the other 3 belts. I also put 4 new tires on the car and then had it trucked to Wisconsin. After the car arrived in Wisconsin, I had the transmission, power steering, and differential fluids changed. Fuel Injector Recall, December 2011 The mechanic that took the car out of storage in California told me that there was an open 1996 Nissan recall on the fuel injectors. So after getting the car to Wisconsin, I took it to a dealer and was surprised to learn that they were still willing to do the work at no cost. As part of the recall, not only did the dealer replace all the fuel injectors, but they also replaced the fuel pressure regulator, all of the fuel lines, and any vacuum hoses, or water hoses that had to be removed during the repair procedure. While the car was at the dealer, I also had them replace the spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, and brake fluid.

There is a small dent in right rear fender from a 1991 parking lot hit and run. (see last photo) Accidents: January 1986 fender bender. Left front fender and hood replaced. Exterior paint: The car was always garaged when not being driven. The original paint is not faded at all and still shines like new. There are a few very small scratches and blemishes including a small scratch in the hood and a small scratch in the passenger door. (See last 4 photos. The photo next to the penny is of the hood scratch.) I guarantee that if you look at the car, it will exceed your expectations.

Carfax. Autocheck. Durring the years 1986 thru 1991 I lived in Florida and California. The car was titled and registered in Florida from 1986 to 1991. From 1992 - 2011 the car remained titled in Florida, but since the car was in storage, I did not buy plates for it or register it. In October 2011, I titled and registered the car in WI. I will provide copies of the titles upon request. I expected to see entries on the Carfax and Autocheck reports for the 1986 - 1991 FL registrations, but there are none. I looked at other Z31 Carfax reports and noticed that often the reports are missing entries for those years. I do have service records that show that the car was in FL or CA for the years 1986 - 1991. I aslo have CA service records for the work done when I took the car out of storge in October 2011, the November 2011 receipt for the shipping costs from CA to WI, and the service records for the Wisconsin Nissan Fuel Injector recall work done in December 2011. The following pictures were taken in September 2013.

Zombie cars: A dozen discontinued vehicles people still buy new
Thu, Jan 6 2022Car models come and go, but as revealed by monthly sales data, once a car is discontinued, it doesn't just disappear instantly. And in the case of some models, vanishing into obscurity can be a slow, tedious process. That's the case with the 12 cars we have here. All of them have been discontinued, but car companies keep racking up "new" sales with them. There are actually more discontinued cars that are still registering new sales than what we decided to include here. We kept this list to the oldest or otherwise most interesting vehicles still being sold as new, including a supercar. We'll run the list in alphabetical order, starting with *drumroll* ... BMW 6 Series: 55 total sales BMW quietly removed the 6 Series from the U.S. market during the 2019 model year. It had been available in three configurations, a hardtop coupe, a convertible and a sleek four-door coupe-like shape. Â BMW i8: 18 total sales We've always had a soft spot for the BMW i8, despite the fact that it never quite fit into a particular category. It was sporty, but nowhere near as fast as similarly-priced competitors. It looked very high-tech and boasted a unique carbon fiber chassis design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but wasn't really designed for maximum efficiency or maximum performance. Still, the in-betweener was very cool to look at and drive, and 18 buyers took one home over the course of 2021. Â Chevy Impala: 750 total sales The Impala represented classic American tastes at a time when American tastes were shifting away from soft-riding sedans with big interior room and trunk space and into higher-riding crossovers. A total of 750 sales were inked last year. Â Chrysler 200: 15 total sales The Chrysler 200 was actually a pretty nice sedan, with good looks and decent driving dynamics let down by a lack of roominess, particularly in the back seat. Of course, as we said regarding the Chevy Impala, the number of Americans in the market for sedans is rapidly winding down, and other automakers are following Chrysler's footsteps in canceling their slow-selling four-doors. Even if Chrysler never really found its footing in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment, apparently dealerships have a few leftover 2017 200s floating around. And for some reason, 15 buyers decided to sign the dotted line to take one of these aging sedans home last year.
2013 Nissan Pathfinder: February 2013
Fri, 22 Feb 2013I took the keys to our long-term 2013 Nissan Pathfinder from Editor-in-Chief Neff (who left me with an empty gas tank, for the record) directly following the Detroit Auto Show. That means that, by the time you all read this, I'll have been in possession of the Pathfinder for more time, and driven it more miles than any Autoblogger so far. I'd like to think that I've made good use of it... with one small exception.
For those of you that live outside of the Snow Belt and who may routinely ignore the Weather Channel out of cocky certainty - I'm looking at you, American Southwest - there's been some real weather in our part of the world this winter. A year ago, I'd basically packed up my shovel and my driveway salt by Valentine's Day; while the last quarter of 2012 and beginning of 2013 have seen back-wrenching piles of snow fall on and around my Michigan home. Good times, in other words, to test the all-weather capabilities of our all-wheel-drive Pathfinder.
2016 April Fools' Day: Morgan digs at Tesla, Mini's scissor doors, more
Fri, Apr 1 2016Every year automakers go out of their way to come up with gags for April Fools' Day. Sometimes the jokes fall flat, but occasionally a company really nails it with an idea that we'd actually love to see. Rather than scouring the Web for all of these stunts, you can find some of our favorites right here. Morgan MOGrod The Morgan Motor Company's MOGrod is one of our favorite April Fools' jokes so far this year because it's a car we wish could be real. The company says on Twitter that the retro hot rod uses a 3.7-liter Ford V6, and there are already 250,000 preorders, which is a play on the huge number of reservations for the Tesla Model 3. Morgan took the joke even further by sketching a landspeed record version for the Bonneville Salt Flats. Mini Scissor Doors The people at Mini apparently have a lot of free time because the company has two gags this year. The first is the scissor door option. The idea cleverly plays on the myriad ways customers can customize their Mini, but this solution doesn't look like anyone could easily enter the car due to the way these doors open. Mini Hipster Hatch There's also the Hipster Mini, which is a much funnier idea. This fictional hatchback would be perfect for fashionable Millennials thanks to features like Instagram-filter windows and a fixed-gear drivetrain, which limits the top speed to 25 miles per hour. The interior uses stonewash denim upholstery and packs a twin-deck cassette player. Skoda Dog Umbrella People love dogs, and owners know that a wet canine can be a mess. Skoda is ready to tackle this problem with an umbrella for your mutt. Made from unobtainium, the gadget hides in the door when not in use, but when raindrops start falling, people can keep their pup dry. Skoda Snowman Skoda's Facebook page also teases us with a very cool vehicle. The Snowman is a 396-horsepower plug-in hybrid snow machine. With its tracks, the company's newest model would never have to worry about getting stuck in the winter. Opel Adam C Sure, electricity and hydrogen are cleaner forms of fuel than gasoline or diesel, but Opel has a way to make your car even more environmentally friendly – muscle power. Wind up the crank at the rear for 15 minutes, and the Opel Adam C is good for 125 miles. GM's European division also claims that owners get a great workout because a full winding session burns 400 calories. You wouldn't feel guilty about picking up that pizza after cranking up this hatchback.
