This car was built in 1984 by R. Straman in Costa Mesa, California. Straman built convertible conversions for many different cars, including Ferraris, the Dodge Stealth, the Z32 (1990-1994) 300 ZX, new Beetle, etc. Apparantly he did a number of these before the factories did, and they either bought rights to or copied his designs. The previous owner told me that this car is one of eleven 300ZXs that Straman modified.
The car bears VIN JN1HZ14S5EX017629. It is a 1984, normally aspirated 300ZX. It is in original (unrestored) condition, with only normal wear on upholstry. The convertible top is in "fair to good" condition. As far as I know everything on the car works, but I have not inspected it extensively. It is in running condition, but I have not driven it extensively. The mileage indicates 139,017.
This car would be a terrific, very fun, unique daily driver. However, there is even greater potential for someone who may want to copy the design and offer conversions for the highly underserved Z31 body modification market. Sadly, lack of time and resources will not permit me to undertake tooling up for a new product line. However, my loss can be your gain!
This car is offered for sale for $9500 or BEST OFFER! Serious
