Am I right? Anybody interested?

Pretty rare; price seems appropriate? Maybe a tad high...but I'm no expert.

Post by **BOOMSHAKALAKA** » Fri Oct 27, 2006 1:29 pm

Yes 300ZX's verts are pretty rare...they are all non-turbo I believe. I have only seen 1 in real life. There's a guy on cardomain.com that has one. He uses it for the drag strip. It's got an RB26DETT.Just search 300zx convertible and it should show up. It's red.

As for that price...it is a tad bit high...$8,000-10,000 would be an appropriate price range IMO.

IIRC I think they were produced from 93-96.

Man I would love to get my hands on one of those...most that are being sold nowadays have very low mileage...alot in the 50k-80k range. People will spike up the price due to rarity.

I'm no Z expert and I just stumbled across it on craigslist... ya never know.

it may not be quite half a dozen, but there's a red one, a couple white ones, and a black one (which happens to reside in the apartments next to my friend). And I think we have a few who may not be local, but they're in the neighbouring counties. For some reason Roanoke is a Z car haven. It's also that way for convertible 240SXes. We have a dozen or so in town.

I've seen two in my lifetime. I love them.

Post by **brisknfade** » Fri Oct 27, 2006 8:40 pm

I thought this thread was about these for a moment.

Iv'e seen atleast 10 or so of of those z32's running around socal. They look a little weird, but still cool.

Are they less rare than a 3000gt 'vert? THOSE are a ***** to find.

One of the original hardtop 'verts too!!

They aren't as rare as the 3000GT vert...i've only seen pics of em on the computer.

Original hardtop vert? What car are you talking about?

Oh yea here is the 300ZX vert currently getting an RB26DETT put into it. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2293599ht ... efault.asp

The 3k GT vert is one of the first cars to have a retracting hard top. The trend started with the 1994 I think.

I've seen two of them in my time. One in my hometown, and one at a car show. They're awesome, I'd loooooove to own one. I *believe* they're all VR4's too.

Post by **BOOMSHAKALAKA** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 5:55 am

Here's a link to one on cardomain...a 95 3000GT VLShttp://www.cardomain.com/ride/426800

Here's another 95:http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2076171

Some more:http://www.cardomain.com/ride/347264htt ... ide/545334 (this one is the VR4 version)

There is actually one on Ebay right now for 37k

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem

See it in all of its folding action!

Post by **frapjap** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 6:18 am

^ Did it come with those awesome tail lights and aggressive front end stock? I still LOVE that car. Its one of the other cars I'll own one day.

Post by **MinisterofDOOM** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 6:23 am

There were two for sale around here a short while back.

I had no idea those other two existed. Pretty neat though, I always thought the technology was pretty new. (late 90's.)

Post by **MinisterofDOOM** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 8:13 am

I remember reading about the Skyliner when I was a little kid and wondering why there weren't more modern cars with folding hardtops.

Post by **Rex** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 11:21 am

Very few things are really new ... there's my old geezer comment for the day.

Post by **NSR240sxe** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 11:50 am

According to Jerry....

Price is very fair. They were all non-turbo. Not rare, but quite unusual to see.

+1

Anyway, we've got a ton of Z32 verts running around here, and that price isn't anything special.

If I could find a nice Z32 'vert for like $5k, I'd probably jump on it for resale. At the moment however, I'm occupied with yet another Kouki S14

Not around here which sucks. I think there are 3 that I know of, none of which you ever really see. Prices of Z32's in my area have been high for years. Never fell off for clean TT's or verts. Just like anywhere you can find beat high mile NA's for cheap though.

AZ-ZBUM would know about this...he's got a Z31 vert himself...Straman convertible conversion.

Post by **Chaotic_Warlord** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 1:13 pm

We have at least one of the Z32 verts around me in NE Philly, never knew they existed until I saw it last week, as far as the 3K GT...I actually sat in one way back in 95 in the dealership, they're 3000GT VR4 Spyders, they are hella hard to find but if you do a search for Mitsubishi Spyders you'll find em.

I dunno man, I see at least 2 a day. A red one all the time. Imo I think the verts are ugly, takes away from the classic lines of a Z32.

Post by **BOOMSHAKALAKA** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 2:35 pm

I would get one if I had money "just because." It looks very good with the top down, not very attractive with the top up...but then again I would hardly ever have it up so it wouldn't matter.

I also wonder if that guy with the Z vert whos putting in the RB26 has ever seen this website or heard of it...

Oh yea...on that website I gave the link to earlier...a guy has a 1051hp 300ZX vert...here's the link:http://www.z32power.com/691092...t.asp

The guys on there are serious about their Z32's...

Post by **BOOMSHAKALAKA** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 2:46 pm

All the members on that website have Z32 300zx's with 600hp or more...nothing less than that.

I did a little searching, and this appears to be super rare...
