First off, this car is NOT for sale.
This is my wife's aunts car. She bought it brand new back in 90 or 91 and then she got a job right after that provided her with a car. So this car has pretty much been a garage queen since.
I have never seen such an amazing, minty s13. It looks like it is brand new! It is a 91 with KA24DE. It is an automatic. 15k original miles and 1 owner. The interior looks like nothing I have ever seen before in a 240. The car is only driven every now and then and is washed after every outing.
I decided I would share some pictures of this beauty with my fellow 240 enthusiast! Sorry for the picture quality it was night time and it was in the garage, but you can still get the idea of just how minty this thing is. If I visit again in the daytime anytime soon I will try to snap some better shots.
What would you do with this if you had it? Leave it stock? Coils and wheels? 5 speed swap? Engine Swap? Not too sure what I would do with something like this because I wouldn't want to mess it up!

Do nothing. keep stock and keep washing it like you do now. in 10 years it will probably be worth its MSRP the way 240s are selling these days

I don't think I'd be able to resist updating it at least a little bit with only OEM and a few top quality upgrades.

That's pretty awesome! I picked one up a few years ago with 19k miles but it was a 89 Coupe. Still have it, has just over 20k but i built it, If i could do it again i would have kept it stock, been on the lookout ever since for another stock one. Let me know if this ever comes up for sale.

I'd change the tires. It would definitely need that... Maybe remove the pinstriping

I def wouldn't "swap" it. I would do 5spd conversion though with oem boot/knob. I would also replace the bushings with energy suspension pieces as even though its low miles they're likely rotted. Same for motor/trans mounts. I'd prob also do nice shocks ands springs for shits and giggles. That would enhance the overall handling/"fun" of the car but at the same time not affect the nostalgia, period correctness, or wallet.
Edit:
Yes, and CERTAINLY ditch the pinstriping. 5min and an eraser wheel will do the trick.

I don't know if I could resist putting at min a 5 speed swap, coils and wheels. Then garage queen it like a Corvette owner hahahaha.
If the car ever comes up for sale I will post it, but it is not looking likely anytime soon.

I would keep this thing 100% stock, keep it maintained well, and continue washing it after every outing. Damn. I HATE automatics and I would drive this in a heartbeat.

I'd be afraid to even let anyone sit inside of it. Just look at how clean those seats look. :D
Personally I wouldn't do anything to it. It's perfect how it is, not worth touching any bolt and keep it.
Shit, if all 240's are already fucked with nowadays, I can't imagine in 10 years with the whole "drifting scene"/"drifting game" going on, as these hipsters call it. This thing would be high in value by then.

Don't touch it. No swap, no "upgrades". This thing is museum piece...

I agree. I would keep it stock! There are plenty of other s13's you can find and modify. Something like this should be left alone :)

It's a 23 year old Nissan automatic econobox, who cares. "leave it stock" Jesus you guys are fucking lame. I appreciate clean cars as much as the next guy but acting like it's some museum piece? Hahaha.....

Ah excuse me but 240sx's were never econobox's they really did not get good enough gas mileage to qualify for that among other reasons. Just because Nissan NA did not want to market the cars properly does not automatically make them into econobox's. They were entry level sports cars. Oh and how the hell would you know in the first place?
You actually own and drive a real econobox, a 99 P11 G20 which is not even as good as the older P10's and is pretty much a glorified Sentra with a NA 140hp SR. lol
Also people wanting to keep it somewhat stock due to the condition and mileage makes a lot of sense. Our cars are actually starting to rise in value. To many dumb kids calling them shitboxs and treating them like shit pretty much is the cause of this. I.E. they are destroying them making it a lot harder to find nice clean ones.
Still a shitty car lol
Are you trying to be a shining example of what I write about above? If you really think they are shitty cars then why are you here?
Oh and ya don't answer that its rhetorical .
