It's time for me to pass my Z on to another enthusiast who can appreciate it as much as I have. The slicktops are the rarest Z32 chassis ever made, and in this color only 20-something were produced, making it the rarest Z32 chassis combination Nissan ever produced. This is a 2-owner car, the original owner purchased the car in Tampa, FL in March 1998 and daily drove it until January of last year, when I purchased it. I've also daily driven it since, and performed a lot of maintenance and upgraded it to be a truly remarkable machine. This car turns heads everywhere and people try to make conversation about it regularly. It is a beautiful Z and most people don't realize what it is, having never seen one in such a beautiful color or trim before. I've owned many Z32s, and none have compared to this one in any shape or fashion.
This is an NA 5-speed car with right around 140k miles on the odometer. The car runs very strongly with no known issues and is quite quick and nimble. It is very clean all around. There is no rust, the original LP2 midnight purple pearl paint is in decent condition for its age and wear. There are a few minor dings/chips around the car, nothing major to note.
The slicktops handle remarkably well and are notably more rigid than their t-top counterparts (the Z06 of the Nissan world!). Mine weighs in under 3100lbs wet on a recent scale measurement, offering a very different driving experience compared to most other z32s. It gets up off the line quickly and stops on a dime! It offers a true track-car feel.
The shifter shifts crisply and the clutch engages smoothly, there are typical high-gear grinds with fast shifting at higher speeds without rev-matching. The car is amazingly fun to drive and gets around great. A/c blows cold and has since I've owned it. The car came with a lot of maintenance/history records, including the original window sticker which will all be passed along to the new owner.
The Desmond Regamaster wheels have been sold, and the car will be sold with BBS LM wheels with gold centers in 18x8.5 +38 and 18x9.5 +38.
Below is a list of services performed, all since January 2012:

Factory Nissan keyless entry/hatch pop (standard on 96s)
Drivetrain

Southbend DXD dual feramic stage 5 clutch
Updgraded heavy duty clutch fork and chromoly pivot ball
Wrinkle black intake manifold, water pipes
polished brackets/valve covers
ss engine bolt kit
100k maintenance completed 6/12 (New OEM water pump, tensioner,
timing belt, spark plugs, O2 sensors, pcv valves, silicone
pcv/aiv hoses)
tb water bypass, deleted egr, cleaned vacuum lines
Relocated power steering reservoir to battery area

The color is a deep purple and looks black unless it's in direct light. I tried to provide several pictures with different lighting scenarios to help portray the depth and brilliance of the color.
I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot, feel free to email me with questions. I drive her daily so the mileage will continue to increase.
My asking price is $16,000 as it sits. Price is firm. I expect this Z will go to a true Z32 enthusiast who wants a similar rare experience to what I've had with this Z. I will consider lowering the price after removing parts and replacing with stock units as follows:
BBS LM wheels/tires - $1500
Powertrix coilovers - $1200
Adjustable suspension arms - $500
Stoptech ST40 front brake setup - $1200
Interior - $1000
Xenon headlights - $1200
Removing these parts alone would lower my asking price to $9400, which seems more than fair given the rest of the parts and the quality of the car. It needs nothing to continue being a reliable daily driver and weekend warrior.
I'm not interested in selling any parts off the car until it's sold. I realize some people may think my price is steep, but the street value for just a portion of the used parts totals over $12k, and well over $16k when new. I could remove and sell $12k in parts and still ask $8k for the car reasonably. If I find the time to do so, I will.
