Very Nice car and rare too. Not very many 2+2 Turbo cars were sold in Canada/North America. I have a 1987 2+2 Turbo. Here are some stats on 2+2 turbo sales in Canada. They were not sold in the US and are very rare here. Mine is #048 out of 203 and came down to WA from Vancouver B.C.

Estimated sales numbers for Canadian 2+2 Turbo’s from a Canadian Z forum member.
Some will dispute them, but no other figures have surfaced yet.

1984- 604
1985- 425
1986- 635
1987- 203
1988- 264
1989- 1

ya i havent figured out which number mine is. i also had a grey one which its vin was three numbers off and was built the day before sold 2 days before and at the same dealership. at first i wanted to get both going and all that but once i drove the burgandy one i realized how crappy the grey one was. i laso have a 87 2 seater 5spd sf model which i think is only sold in canada.

I would love to see some pictures of the SF model. does it have the steel wheels and manual windows? I know they were bare bones models. If you could post some pics of those differences I would appreciate it. I also have a 87 2 seat Turbo 5 speed. Look ate the thread titled " My other Z31" in members rides.

Wow, I can't believe you took that car to the track with the frame in that bad of condition where the rear subframe mounts!!!

Still, very purty car from the shiny side.

The US never got any 2+2 turbos. I think Canada was the only north american market to offer 2+2 turbos.
