I traded my silver spruce SC400 a few years ago with some goodies I had for it for my 92 twin turbo pearl white 300ZX I've got now. I've missed that car for a long time and had an opportunity to buy another car to play with, daily drive, whatever and found this really clean, local SC300. I never really liked the white ones in pics but seeing one up close it was a lot nicer than I thought, plus having the uber dark tinted windows really pops against the bright white paint. Now, I have 2 cars that blind me in the sunlight when I look across the panels to make sure I got all the wax off.

It had 182,711 when I took delivery of it and runs fine. Maintenance records, and came from an SC enthusiast. Real nice guy, voluntarily pointed out any flaws on the car before I even had a chance to find them, and I knew what to look for having had an SC before.

Yes, I know the wheels are heinous, and those will be addressed shortly but at least they're round and have rubber on them.

Looks great!
Personally, I like the wheel faces. They look a bit like my Work VS-ZF. They just need a bit of lip.

Good luck with it!

Unbelievably clean interior
Good job!

What sold it for me (even though I could have gotten another 400 for a few hundred cheaper) was the color of the interior and cleanliness of it, also the engine bay. I had to have at least gray, or black interior. Tan is just a little too boring. Also the engine bay looks like it came off the assembly line just 2 or 3 months ago, it's very clean.

I was initially going to put a built engine and bigger turbos into my 300ZX with the money, but with the difficulty of working on it and all that, I think I'll mostly just keep it like it is aside from throwing all my suspension on it. I bought the SC300 because it's easier to work on, muuuuuuuuuuuch more aftermarket support (even though the Z32 has quite a bit) and the ease of NA-T, or a 2JZ GTE, or a 1JZ GTE. Likely, a 1JZ VVTI will win out on a rainy day when I decide to transplant another motor. However, for now, I think just some suspension and better wheels/tires will suffice.

Congrats on finding such a clean SC. Was the guy the original owner? That car is ridiculously clean!

That is a really clean SC. I don't see too many grey interiors in good condition like that.

Thank you thank you...no he wasn't the original, he got it from a guy in Atlanta last year sometime I think. He moved up here close to Chattanooga and his back was giving him trouble and was a little hard to get in and out of so he sold it to me. Luckily, my back is fine....for now *knock on wood*

Very clean car. Definitely would suggest changing to more aggressive wheels as that will change the look of the car entirely.

Thats fairly clean! The interior isn't my cup of tea, but still impressive...must have been garage kept all of it's life.

The white paint doesnt look that impressive in pics. but in person it does look better. all u need is wheels, suspension, front lip or 97+ and ur good to go. thhen get a turbo in there for some decent power

Great pick up man, congrats on another SC welcome back. That grey interior is nice and overall SC looks clean.

Got a friend down in the Mobile area with a buddy selling some iridescent purple Varsstoen 6 spoke Volk ripoffs (whatever model # that is) with tires for $1k. Gotta check and see if the offset/widths need rolling or put straight on. They look great on his 2g GS300 and I think the purple would pop real well against the pearl white...plus I like purple anyways. Thinking about picking those up in a week or so and some drop springs.
