1984 50th Anniversary Edition 300ZX Turbo


My car and I first met in mid May 2002, since then it has been my pride and joy. This car is my first car so I wanted something special. While everybody else drove Jeeps and Hondas to school I drove 1 of 5,464 300ZX 50th Anniversary Edition Turbos. I wanted something different and that?s exactly what this car is. The car had 44,500 miles on it when my dad and I bought it from a lady in Shreveport, Louisiana. Even though I don?t have a long history with the car it has become intertwined in my life never to be forgotten. All original body sonic sound system, Mirrored T-Tops, Digital dash and mirrored T-Tops are still in place, along with the original 16" rims and paint job.
