The front rotors, pads, and bearings were replaced in December 2021. This 240Z is offered in California with service records, manufacturer’s literature, spare keys, a jack, and a clean Ohio title in the name of the seller’s company.

Finished from the factory in Silver (901), the car was reportedly repainted under prior ownership. Features include a driver’s side mirror, chrome bumpers with guards, brushed window trim, and an aftermarket power antenna. Close-up photos of the body and trim are provided in the gallery.
