I am the second owner of this car, the first owner unfortunately died! He lost out on a great car! ;( It was originally purchased and stored in Santa Clara, CA. When I purchased the vehicle, it had not been driven in 10 years. I have the full CarFax report with the maintenance records and mileage documentation.

I have put a lot of work into restoring this beauty, here is a list of what has been done:


Engine/Drive Train/Suspension:

Battery
Timing Belt
Water Pump

Fan Clutch
Thermostat
All Belts & Hoses
Radiator Flush
Power Steering Flush
Spark Plugs
Spark Plug Wires
Air Filter
Tires
Brake Pads
Shocks
Bushings

Interior/Electrical/Cosmetic:

Headliner
Rear Hatch Carpet
Rear Hatch Support Struts
Rear Hatch Weather Seal
Headlights
Front Windshield Wipers
Kenwood Radio/MP3/Hands Free/Bluetooth
Rockford Fosgate Door & Rear Speakers
Kenwood Amplifier For Door & Rear Speakers under Passenger Seat
10" Kenwood Subwoofer in Custom Box w/Amp & Wiring Kit
A/C Double Solenoid Valve (Controls Air Vent Flow Shutters)
New Woodgrain Trim for Window Switches & A/C Unit
Custom Matching Woodgrain Trim for Kenwood Radio
New Z Emblem for Steering Wheel
New RearView Mirror & Support Base
New Center Console Leather Lid & Support
Rear Hatch Trim Piece
Rear Hatch Speaker Grilles


There may have been some more things that I can't remember, I have records for everything and will provide them to the buyer.

The car runs and drives very well. I drove it down from San Francisco and it didn't skip a beat. It has been garage kept and never driven in the rain.

Now, here is what needs to be done to make this vehicle mint condition:

Replace Steering Rack
Potentially Replace Clutch
Minor Paint Reconditioning

The interiror is an 8.5/10. There are some small stains on the carpet and the passenger seat leather is a little hard on the base. There are no tears/rips and it is very clean. No cracks on the windshield, No cracks on the dash.

This car is equipped with every feature you could get in 1985. It includes the Digitial Dash, Compass, Accelerometer, and talking warning system. It has heated mirrors, automatic a/c, cruise control, power locks/windows, T-Tops, MPG Indicator, Turbo, Boost Indicator, Headlight Washers, and probably some more things I can't think of.

In addition to the car, I have spare parts, (sometimes rare to find), interior pieces, the original radio with equalizer, original speaker amplifier, original sales brochure, misc. magazine articles from the 80's that show off the car and several other relevant things. This will be included for free if the car sells for Buy It Now price.

Why am I selling it? Good question! This is my 3rd 300zx, I love these cars!! I also love fixing them and restoring the cars back to how they were in the 80's, just love them!! Anyways, My business has taken off and I do not have the time to spend with the Z any more.  I leased a new car and find myself neglecting the Z. I only drive it once or twice a month and for the rest of the time it just sits in the garage. 

Please send any questions or offers you may have.

Recharge Wrap-up: Renovo Coupe at CES, Aussies tour US in Tesla Model S

Tue, Dec 23 2014

Australians review the Tesla Model S in a Seattle to LA road trip video. The folks from CarAdvice drive the P85+ along the West Coast of the US, testing out the car, trying the Superchargers, stopping by some notable sites along the way and even making use of roadside assistance. While the video shows what it's like to take the Tesla on a US road trip, it gives viewers Down Under a glimpse of their own future. Tesla just began sales in a country that, while on the other side of the globe, also features long distances between cities and a new Supercharger network. Check out the video below or read more at Inside EVs. A UK taxi company is introducing the Nissan e-NV200 to its fleet. C&C Taxi, which has been using six Nissan Leafs in its Cornwall taxi service since early December, has added the passenger-ready e-NV200 Combi to its stable of cabs. Mark Richards, manager of C&C's fleet, is happy with its performance and money saved after over 1,000 miles of service so far, and plans to replace the rest of the diesel fleet with EVs. The Nissan e-NV200 Combi "does everything the Leaf does but is much bigger and offers more space," says Richards. "We'll definitely be ordering more." Learn more in the video below or read more at Hybrid Cars. Learn more about Nissan's fleet EVs at the company's website. The US Department of Energy has released a new report on EV charging behavior and its impact on the grid. The report, which covers grant projects from six different utilities, includes data from over 270 public chargers and 700 residential charging units. Most at-home charging took place at night during off-peak hours. There were some reports of problems with chargers and smart meters working together. Most public charging took place during peak hours, but was low compared to home charging. This means a longer cost recovery period due to the high cost of installation. See the report at the DOE website or read more at Green Car Congress. The Renovo Coupe will be on display at the NVIDIA booth at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) for its first public viewing. Renovo Motors CEO Christopher Heiser says, "These are very exciting times for Renovo and we think our new technology, coupled with NVIDIA's breakthroughs in automotive applications, has the potential to make a tremendous impact across the entire automotive industry." The Shelby Daytona-bodied Renovo offers 500 horsepower and 1,000 pound-feet of torque from two electric motors.

Pickup sales may hit 2M units for first time since 2007

Sat, 21 Sep 2013

Even as fuel prices creep back up, trucks are still a hot item among new-vehicle shoppers. To see how popular pickup trucks still are, you don't have to look any further than how much effort automakers put into the continual one-upmanship of their trucks. Backing this fact up, USA Today is reporting that the segment could top two million sales this year - a total not matched since 2007, though still far from the pre-recession, three-million-unit levels.
Through August, the Ford F-Series continues to be the segment leader with almost 500,000 units sold, but the Chevy Silverado (328,269), Ram 1500 (234,642), GMC Sierra (122,232) and Toyota Tacoma (110,293) are all seeing at least 20-percent sales increases, helping to account for around 1.44 million truck sales so far this year - not including possible outliers like the Suzuki Equator and Chevy Avalanche.
This year alone, General Motors has completely redesigned its fullsize trucks, Ram and Toyota have significantly updated their offerings, the next-gen Ford F-150 will be out next year and Nissan is promising an all-new Titan around the same time with an eventual Cummins diesel under the hood. It would seem, then, that truck sales are poised to continue their upward trend.

Demand for electric car rentals unplugged by range anxiety

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

It's the hurdle that electric vehicles must clear to be launched into the mainstream: range anxiety. But this time it isn't prospective customers who worry about running out of juice, Bloomberg reports, but renters who return to car rental agencies before their lease is up and trade their EVs in for more traditional gasoline-powered autos and gas-electric hybrids.
"People are very keen to try [electric vehicles], but they will switch out of the contract part way through ... they think they can't get to a charging station," says Lee Broughton, head of sustainability at Enterprise. Enterprise customers who rent EVs reportedly trade them in 1.6 days into the rental period on average, which compares unfavorably to the six- to seven-day rental periods of traditional, fuel-burning automobiles.
Christopher Agnew, an analyst at MKM Holdings LLC, says that longer range would help rental customers' range anxiety, especially since they are usually renting vehicles in unfamiliar places.
