1985 Nissan 300ZX Turbo Description

Datsun Nissan only built a total of 12,045 1985 300ZX Turbos and most of them had automatic transmissions and non-digital dashboards because of the higher MSRP. This car is an unrestored, original survivor with 34 years of patina. The car still shows original paint. Still has the original collapsible spare tire which has never been on the ground. Still has the original Nissan 300ZX turbo floor mats. Runs and drives nice - Just installed a new set of 4 all-seasons performance tires for the spring driving season. The car has the normal bumps, bruises, etc. from 34 years of use but over-all shows nice. Never been in an accident and never been smoked in. No rips or tears. MOST IMPORTANT - CAR HAS NEVER BEEN MODIFIED OR MESSED WITH.
Hard to find in this condition and climbing in value quickly. Pay attention & don't miss this opportunity.
For an MSRP of just over $19,699 (that's about $46,500 in 2019 dollars), the 1985 Nissan 300ZX Turbo had excellent performance numbers for the price tag. 200 horsepower in a 3,139-pound car was hot stuff in 1985, a year in which the $24,873 Corvette had 230 horses moving 3,088 pounds and the $21,440 Porsche 944 offered 143 hp in a 2,675-pound car.

1984–89 Nissan 300ZX	82

Average value: $3900–$15,800 The originalDatsun Z-Carsof the ’70s turned the performance car world on its ear, and the lasttwin-turbo 300ZXof the ’90s was a high-tech 300-hp wonder. The original (Z31) 300ZX that sits in the middle just wasn’t as big of a deal, and was a little bloated and soft. That said, it features Nissan’s first V-6 engine that makes 200 hp in turbocharged form, it’s pretty good looking if not all that distinctive, and T-tops are just plain cool. The cars are also still really cheap to buy even though prices have gone up a bit. Buyer interest is way up over the past year and more are being added to Hagerty insurance policies.

Stephen Becker personally works side by side with the Shelby American Automobile Club registrars and have supported their efforts to keep Carroll Shelby’s automobiles and contribution to the automotive industry alive.

Stephen Becker is one of the most renowned Shelby authorities in the world, announced the introduction of a new certified appraisal program for 1960s Shelby Cobras, GT350s and GT500s. Previously available only to a select group of companies and celebrities, SGB’s invaluable expertise is now available to individuals contemplating the sale or purchase of a vintage Shelby car.

“For years, MOPAR, Corvette and Ford collectors have had access to detailed appraisals from experts in those cars, but enthusiasts have not been able to tap a form program when considering the purchase or sale of a Shelby,” said Becker. “With the expertise, records and access to details of Cobras, GT500s and GT350s available through me, collectors can now have the knowledge they need when making a decision on a Shelby they want to purchase or sell.”

Becker personally has performed evaluations for years and attended key collector car auctions for a small group of corporate clients like insurance companies and manufacturers. In late 2009, Stephen Becker provided an appraisal of 75 cars in the corporate and museum collection of Shelby American. The appraisals were done for Shelby’s insurance company, which requested current values of the extensive collection of significant cars. Other high profile corporate and celebrity clients have included the famous Shelby Parts & Restorations company, as well as leaders in the music and entertainment industry.

“Shelby cars are usually considered blue chip collectibles, but each must be carefully inspected and appraised to understand the true value,” noted Becker. “Not only is it important to ensure a car is a genuine Shelby, it’s critical to understand its history. The value difference between a survivor car with great provenance and a Shelby ‘rebuilt’ from a few major components left over from a wreck can be hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

Stephen’s knowledge and extensive library led to the creation of the Becker Certified Shelby Certification program. A proprietary 25 point inspection and exhaustive research provides the most thorough report on the market for genuine Shelby vehicles.

Over the past decade, Stephen Becker has been retained by key automotive groups, collectors and industry leaders to authenticate and value Shelby vehicles. This led to the creation of a program for individual collectors and enthusiasts. When completed, a client received a detailed report with a history of the vehicle, if available, and documentation to validate the value.

Since 1977, Stephen Becker has been regarded as a leading authority on 1960s era Shelby Cobras, GT350s and GT500s. The company’s expertise and in-depth knowledge have been tapped by clients to purchase, consign and restore original Shelby’s. SGB has represented clients around the world on stage when their Shelby’s crossed the block.

Founder Stephen Becker was one of the youngest people to ever be selected as a finalist for the Ernst & Young/Inc. Magazine “Entrepreneur of the Year” in the early 1990s.
