SOLD

The Z32-generation Nissan 300ZX remains one of the defining Japanese sports cars of the 1990s, representing the era when Japanese automakers were fiercely competing to build technologically advanced grand touring machines that could challenge European rivals. Introduced for the 1990 model year, the redesigned 300ZX brought sharper styling, improved chassis dynamics, and a far more sophisticated drivetrain than its predecessor. This particular 1990 Nissan 300ZX Coupe 2+2 shows approximately 42,461 miles, making it an especially appealing example for enthusiasts seeking a relatively low-mileage Z32 with the added practicality of the longer-wheelbase 2+2 configuration. Finished in Cherry Red Pearl and equipped with a 5-speed manual, removable T-top roof panels, and tasteful performance upgrades including a Greddy cat-back exhaust and aftermarket injectors, this is the kind of analog Japanese sports car that continues to gain appreciation among collectors.
