Thumbs up SS on eBay

Okay, so I don't own my Z anymore, and after driving my bronco for 6 months, and putting more money in the tank than in the truck... I'm getting back to my roots, checking out eBay tonight, and found something Amazing!

The ad has false information. There were 5148 produced. 1002 imported to the U.S.

Its wierd that they are so rare because 2 of my friends have them.

You sure? From my readings:

Only time will tell how many 35th Anniversary Editions Nissan plans on producing.

I think you got the number 5148 from the 84 AE.

I take what I said back. There were 5148 anniversary 300zx's make. Sorry, I got mixed up.

There WERE only 1002 us imported and 75 canada imported though.



I dont believe its a REAL ss on ebay though. I need to see the plate that says the number to be sure. Anyone can get the parts to do a ss conversion.

yes and no. wiki has people working for them to go through and check validility of posts on there because you need to supply sources where you found this information from. so almost 100% of the time bad information gets deleted pretty quikly.

eh, looks like a real Shiro to me. it's probably harder to find that air dam and those seats than a complete SS.

That's the beauty of it also. You can look through the history and see who has changed what and when and see previous revisions. If you don't trust something, look at what was changed and when. Incorrect information rarely sticks around for long.

It is (as long as the VIN posted really is that car's VIN):
