Filed under: Time Warp Nissan RR of the Day

Just to show you that a vehicle picked as a RR of the Day doesn't have to be custom we've chosen another stocker to highlight. This one isn't just any factory production vehicle however it's a 1984 50th Anniversary Nissan 300ZX Turbo. This model year 300ZX was the last to have both Nissan and Datsun badges and is laden further with unique Nissan 50th Anniversary badges on both sides. The odometer reads 68000 miles but its owner who goes by the Flickr handle Ethan84ae has obviously lovingly cared for the car.

So what makes it RR of the Day material? Despite being born way back in 1984 this 22-year-old 50th Anniversary 300ZX has many forward thinking features including steering wheel-mounted radio and cruise controls 3-way adjustable shocks advanced trip computer and a digital climate control system. The 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 makes 200 horsepower which made the 3000 lb. coupe a standout performer in 1984 and allows it to keep up commendably well with sport coupes of today. And to be honest it's not exactly stock as a previous owner had a thing for louvers (added to the headlights and side windows) and pinstriping.

Purchased for a scant $5500 back in 1995 this example that's in near perfect condition with no rust and low miles could easily fetch above $8000 today.
