  It is a 1996 last year 300ZX with the rare QN0 paint code only available in the 95-96 years. Further, this Z features the black leather interior, an extra cost option from the dealer in order to have it with the pearl white exterior. More often you will find the tan interior with pearl white. According to numbers I ran with Nissan"s fast software this is 1 of 38 total produced non-turbo manual transmission Z"s with the above color scheme and T-tops in 1996. The last time I checked registration of all 38 (Nov 2012), none but this one is registered in WA. The car has been well maintained and always garaged. It runs strong and is a fun car to drive. Current mileage is 180K, about 10K per year since 1996. Oil changes every 3000-3500 miles, brakes and timing belt recently replaced. All power options work and the ac and heat work flawlessly. Car has all the original glass with stamped vin number as original from the dealer. Interior leather and trim is in good shape, leather seats have no cracks or tears. Although this suede is largely preferred over the older model interiors as it looks a lot better, it is also harder to keep in good shape due to the nature of the material and often gets matted down due to dirt and oils. Suede trim on this Z is in wonderful shape.

Suede trim on this Z is in wonderful shape. There is a small crack in the driver"s side fender where it mounts to the bumper. I have a new oem fender that I"ll include with the sale. The 90-93 tt wing is showing signs of failing (a common issue with this wing and why Nissan stopped making it) and will either need to be replaced with a aftermarket replica or removed. No major dents, only some minor door dings that paint-less dent repair could probably take care of.
