How many 50th AE owners
 

Hello all, I am new to this forum and was wondering how many of you have a 50th AE?

:s-redeemer:

i know there are only 1079remaining of 5000built--as of last year at this time, when i acquired mine.........

Where are you getting that figure of 1079 from?

She pulled that number out of her ass, or the seller told her that to drive the price up. Anyone who gives you a number of how many are left is full of shit.

Also, there were 5148 produced for the United States.

Oh, and I have one.

I have no idea where you came up with those numbers because I've NEVER said anything of the sort. I've always said that anyone who gives any number is full of shit. ALWAYS. It's one of the myths about 50th AE's that I continue to argue about.

Please, tell me where I said anything like that.

i think she is saying she got all her info from you about assembling the car, and was trying to make a point to no avail using that. lol. other wise she stated some one out of her club gave you that number, but yes it is near impossible to find out how many AE's are left, you can find out where many of them are..... if you have each and every one's VIN number. or at least where it last was sold/repaired extensivly.

for your information, there are exactly 1.2852 billion ants in Colorado.

Haha I'm kidding, but numbers like that are difficult to produce. How do they add/factor in sucessfully the ones that are in barns, or old ladies drive, or etc.

I'd bet the number is higher than that guestimated one above though... <(my bet is also just a guess as I don't have a clue, but it seems reasonable)

okay, gotcha. sorry.

nothing to see here. move along. :)

I Am Just Surprised More People Do Not Have Ae's On This Site.

This site isn't the most heavily hit Z31 board around. It's surprising though. I see more SS owners than AE owners on all the boards.

There’s no way to know just how many 1984 AEs are left.

That’s because 1984 AEs can be positively identified by the shock absorber placard only and not the VIN no. Each state has every registered vehicle’s VIN number contained in their motor vehicle records but not the placard info. So even if you had access to every state’s motor vehicle files, you still wouldn’t know how many AEs are left. Even if you did have access, an estimate is the best you could get.

The total no. of remaining 1984 z31s could be counted. Write a computer program and increment a tally if a motor vehicle record has a 1984 z31 VIN no. You could then calculate the approximate no. of remaining AEs based on the total number of AEs sold versus the total no. of 1984 non-AEs sold.

The complete list of 50th AE VINs can be obtained by checking the Z31 registry.

Correct. and in the same way Nissan has a master list of all VIN numbers of the 280ZXR.

I've seen an AE for sale here in WA this year. It was priced pretty low. Its probably beat and/or a daily driver

Most AE's are not selling for that much at present(except garage queens). I've had mine since 1987 and have seen their value plummet. Unlike older sports cars like Corvettes, Z-28's etc., the Japanese models will take longer to be considered "classics". Regardless, they are fun to drive, and well kept examples will appreciate more as time goes on.

I just found out about one in Tacoma, WA for $3300 if anyone is interested.
I do not know of the specific condition.

The prices of AE's have not been what they should be, so one selling for 3k does not surprise me at all. Some are of course in rough shape, but sadly I've seen nice examples going for that price range.

Well whatever the number of A/E's is you can minus one off of that now :D
