Few cars capture the high-tech personality of the 1980s quite like the 1987 Nissan 300ZX Turbo. With its wedge-shaped profile, removable T-Tops, digital instrumentation, and turbocharged power, the Z31 300ZX brought Nissan's sports car formula into a new era. Finished in vibrant Hot Red and benefiting from just two owners since new, this well-preserved example delivers all the character that makes the third-generation Nissan Z car so memorable.
Under the hood is Nissan's VG30ET 3.0L SOHC turbocharged V6 paired with the enthusiast-favorite 5-speed manual transmission. A 3.54:1 limited-slip rear end helps put the power to the pavement, and adjustable shock absorbers, power steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes give this 300ZX the road manners to match its turbocharged performance. Factory 16-inch aluminum Z wheels wrapped in 225/50R16 tires complete the purposeful stance.
Inside is where the 1980s personality really comes alive. Black power bucket seats surround the driver, with power bolster and lumbar controls providing extra support. The iconic digital dash lights up the cockpit, while air conditioning, power windows, power mirrors, a center console, and the AM/FM cassette radio add comfort without losing the period feel.
For anyone searching for a turbocharged Nissan 300ZX for sale, this two-owner example checks some important boxes. Drop the T-Tops, watch the digital gauges come to life, grab the five-speed, and enjoy a 300ZX turbo that feels unmistakably like the decade that created it.
