John Tumino
1987 300ZX GLL


This has become a summertime or fair weather sports car now. For the most part, it is garaged and covered from late fall to early spring. It takes a lot of dedicated effort to preserve and maintain a 1987 stock vehicle that looks mint and drives almost like new. This is the last body style of the Z31 and is a complete stock restoration with all original equipment still working. It's nimble in the turns and sticks to the road. With 160HP under the hood and a soft rumble from the exhaust, its enough to power through quick situations and highway driving is like gliding on a magic carpet. With the T-tops out, the comfortable interior makes an enjoyable ride on a pleasant day. Like the commercial says: Enjoy the ride!
