The New 85

I just recently purchased my first Z31. About 9 months ago I totaled my 1996 Acura TL and have been driving a mini van since. Some time last week I spotted an orange 1985 300zx and fell in love. After coming up with a small down payment, I was approved for financing and drove off with my baby. Naturally, there's plenty that need to be done in order to get it in pristine condition, but shes mine and thats all that matters. More pictures to come.[IMG][/IMG]

I only paid $2500 for the car, but I recently had a son and moved into an aprtment so money has been tight. Im out of Oklahoma city. I moved here from Vacaville California. Not much of a car scene here, but theres no better feeling that smoking a big *** pick-up in a Z.

Ill definitely be posting more pictures shortly. When I get home this afternoon, Ill take pictures of the interior. Im not sure what to make of the spoiler. Does anyone else have one of that size on their Z31? It has a hole in it for the intenna so its obviously model specific. Oh, and yes, its entirely stock right now.

Congrats on the purchase.

The factory style 300ZX turbo spoiler looks nice. They aren't too hard to find.

welcome. I do like the color of your car.
