Spencer’s Widebody Z

About the owner:

My name is Spencer King, and I am the proud owner of this beautiful 300zx. I have owned three Z32’s so far, and I bought my first 300zx (1990 2+2 twin turbo swap) back in December 2011 when I was 18 years old. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, all I knew was the car was twin turboed. For an 18 year old kid, that sounded awesome. My first Z taught me how to work on cars and was the reason I am obsessed today with the Z32 platform. I purchased my current Z32 in June 2018 in Quebec City, Canada. I had a very specific car I was looking for; had to be right hand drive (RHD), manual, a 2+2, and no rust. It took me years to find this specific car. It was, and still is, my dream build, and I plan to keep it for a very long time.

My favorite thing about my Z is it’s one of one. The car was built for the street; shows, weekend cruises, and some sporadic driving. My future plans are to install a T56 transmission and enjoy the car!
