Slicktop or t-top!!!! never liked vert z32s. I like my t top z but my buddys slicktop is dope too.

That's a cool design though not my taste but I will admit its kinda hot and different

I REALLY LIKE

There were vert z31 chassis too. Imo that just made a heavy car heavier and chassis flex. It be a cool cruiser I guess top down with a girl shotgun I def wouldnt roll around with another guy lmao

lol i agree. I love these cars (almost bought a brownish orange one T-top little body kit twin turbo 1992 think it was 18 or 2ooo) but they are heavy as is

i have only seen 2 z32 verts...and both of them where in oregon, and both of them where black...so i wouldnt be surprised if it was the same car. I think they are bad arse looking, but i rationally know that they are a huge drawback to the chassis. The hardtop z32 vert though reminds me of the s15 varietta vert hard top...i am sure quite a bit of engineering used to make this car went towards that in the long run. The s15 hard top vert is also a good looking car...but heavy and not as structurally rigid.

legit, if I had the money I would buy it just to have the history. I wouldn't track it or build it, if anything just do a super clean, bone stock TT motor transfer....

I would just keep it clean and safe and beautiful

I'd rock that shit every day of every year for the rest of my life. period.

its VERY nice, and i've always liked hard top verts, and the Z32 just seems to look better as a vert than as a standard coupe imo.

Eh I like my z as a t-top plus I picked mine up for a smoking deal and rebuilt the entire engine while I was at nissan she's cherry nice daily. My chick thinks the verts are hideous too lol.

S15 varrietas are ok not to keen on those either. The only Nissan vert I like are s13... only with the top down and a hard tonnuea cover. Top up they look like ass again.

really interesting lines on that car - almost reminds me of an australian 'ute.

62k for a unique nissan? the coachbuilding cost alone is worth it - Nice Price Smiley

I dig it!  sick Everyone is throwing in opinions, so heres' mine: Slick Top, T-Top, Vert. Yeah, they are abit heavy, but there are ways to get around that  grinwink The retractable hardtop defiantly adds weight, but is unique. For a sweet cruiser or DD, this is quite nice. I would ditch the chrome wheels and throw on some polished "Workies" Smiley

Ew.

fyneyoungstunnaNov 19, 2010, 5:15 pm · #13

Not that much more weight than a 240 or z31.....

LeegamerNov 19, 2010, 5:28 pm · #14

Wait, is it power folding or manual folding?  If it's manual-folding, then it's kinda cool.  If it's power-folding, then again...ew.

sam31183Nov 19, 2010, 7:07 pm · #15

i would imagine its power folding...manual folding hard top would be hard to move by yourself...

celestialsilviaNov 19, 2010, 7:39 pm · #16

automatic folding is much cooler than manual folding btw - just clearing that up

LeegamerNov 19, 2010, 7:40 pm · #17

Yes, if you like extra weight.  Don't get me wrong, it'd be cool to own since it's a concept.

i would be tempted to daily it...but i wouldnt touge or race it...thats the s12s job.

i think the point is being completely missed here?

this is a rare, one off concept car, a piece of history, and the probable progenitor for JDM spyder models like the 3000GT VR4 spyder and the S15 Silvia Varietta coupe. This was the vehicle that tested the waters for succesful variants if the Toyota MR-S and the modern MX-5 

I had a 110 page BOOK filled with pictures and japanese 'philosophies' on the development of the Subaru SVX, essentially a concept car they produced 25,000 of - this is a one-off custom, coach built, concept car. . .

I'm no fan of the Barrett Jackson "cars-are-investments" bullshit, but this is something you take to Z-car meets and cruise around in - race? modify? motor swaps and paint preferences? worried about the 'extra weight'? no offense, but really, really missing the point. . .
