Rare automatic gearbox which actually suits the car really well for nice relaxed cruising and is a perfect fit for a small percentage of buyers. If not for you, it is an easy conversion to a 5 speed manual gearbox, check out the Wheeler Dealer 240Z episode in which Ed did this conversion.
This car had been in long term ownership with the previous owner prior to our purchase, in fact since 1977 so 40 years to be exact.
The paintwork is in excellent condition with some high quality pin-striping in evidence giving a nice bit of detail. The bodywork (most important area on any S30 Z) appears to be very original and rust free evidencing it's inland California lifetime with main floors, spare wheel well, rear hatch panel, chassis legs, doors, wings all looking completely factory original with no perforations or rust in evidence.
Original L24 engine, number matching the VIN plate
Runs and drives well
Period 14 inch alloys in good condition
The interior comprises of newly re-trimmed seats and nice quality carpet. The dash has a couple of minor cracks but is very good in comparison to most other originals
Chrome is excellent shape all round
All in all a very nice example of the model, well sorted, well priced at year end discount level and ready for immediate use
