Message I am selling my 300ZX Hybrid. It is a 1992 Slicktop Shell with a 92 VH45DE. I did all of the conversion work myself, and all gauges/accessories function with the exception of the Air Conditioning. This car is a reliable runner, and has been a very fun toy for me over this summer. I am sad to see it go, but a recent change in family situation has forced the sale. Please have confidence in the work completed. I am a mechanical engineer and have experience in design and fabrication, this is NOT a hack job.

Good Stuff:

The car is in good condition overall.
It weighs a tick over 3200lb with no driver, and 3/4 tank of fuel.
It runs out very well, and has never given me any issues.
There is absolutely NO RUST on this chassis.
The chassis/trans has 107k miles on it.
The interior is in very good condition, the passenger seat has some stains, but there are no rips/tears on either seat.

Bad Stuff:

The car has its fair share of dings. If you know a talented paintless dent removal guy, he could make the car look much better. We're talking door dings here, no major dents. I built it as a track toy so I never cared much for the looks.
The suspension has some squeaks, which I wasn't able to track down. With the extensive suspension modifications on the car, this is a tradeoff made.
In the summer heat (90+ degrees) and when sitting in traffic (5-10min+), the temp gauge will start to creep up. If you put on the heat, it comes back down. I have NEVER seen the gauge go over about 2/3, and when moving, there are no overheating issues at all. The design of the radiator fins is meant for efficiency at speed, not in traffic.

On to the pictures:

My asking Price is $11,500. I will entertain offers, but please, no low-ballers. Absolutely NO joy rides.

I WILL Ship, expect price to be between $600-$1200 depending on your location.
