I purchased this car in 2008 to fulfill a longtime dream of owning an AE. After owning a couple other Z31 Turbos, I always thought the 50th Anniversary 300ZX was the coolest looking car of their era! Anyway, I searched for several years and finally found this car locally. The previous owner, a retired professor, had it since 1988 (a photocopy of the previous title will be included). Over the next couple years, I did much maintenance and many updates to bring it to its current fun, reliable state. No expense was spared making sure this car was ready for a road trip, autocross event, whatever. Since then, I've just been driving it on nice days and enjoying it. Here are some highlights of what's been done:11/08 Replaced any missing/broken interior fasteners and trim, installed new (reproduction) AE floor mats, replaced bumper stripes2/09 Replaced headliner4/09 Replaced distributor5/09 Replaced o2 sensor, battery7/09 Replaced AIV, TPS, ball joints, tie rod ends.

Modified POV to allow higher boost.

If you use the "Buy-it-now" option, I will include an original 50th Anniversary car cover and a set of original Nissan (not reproduction) 50th AE floor mats. These items will ONLY be included with a "Buy-it-now" purchase. If the car sells through straight bidding auction, these bonus items will not be included in the sale. I've driven it about 15k miles over the last 7 years. Oil has been changed 6 times, always with synthetic - always with a Nissan filter. It stays garaged and it gets stored in a heated warehouse every winter. Current mileage is around 175k. Runs great, 5-speed tranny shifts perfect, etc. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. Fuel pressure goes low after it sits for several hours, so sometimes you might need to start it twice. Been like that as long as I've owned it - suspect fuel pump check valve is bleeding down. No big deal. Gas gauge goes dim or dark sometimes, but the low fuel light works just fine. Again, been like that since I got it. Compass isn't accurate and the headlight washers don't spray. No other known issues. All maintenance items including brakes, belts, fluids, etc. are nearly new. Tires all match and have about 95% tread remaining. It has an Alpine CD player with some nice speakers, all professionally installed. Bodysonic and cruise control are no longer operable, due to the aftermarket radio and steering wheel.This car is ready to ENJOY. It's not one of those "project cars" that will eat up all your time and money before you ever get to drive it. All work was done by me personally, or a local hi-end specialty shop. There are some cosmetic/paint issues and minor rust that could stand to be addressed if you want a show-winner, but as you can see the curb appeal is great! Previous owner had lower-body rust repaired around 15 years ago and some of it could use attention again. I had the rear floor boards professionally repaired with welded-in steel 4 or 5 years ago. I would drive this car anywhere without a second thought.I've had so much fun with this car, but the time has come to let it go. I've seen what's available in the market. My reserve is set lower than some of the "project" AE's I've seen out there. Bid to buy! Don't miss your chance to own this great example of an AE that you can drive home with a smile.
