Gateway Classic Cars is proud to present the 2006 Nissan 350Z Convertible. With just 17,198 miles on the odometer, this Roadster is an absolute time capsule. Finding an "untouched", bone-stock Z33 generation 350Z is becoming a monumental task-finding a convertible example with mileage this low is nearly impossible. This stunning sports car represents the highly desirable 2006 mid-cycle refresh, offering an ideal blend of Japanese reliability, timeless open-air styling, and a track-tested chassis that feels just as tight and precise as the day it rolled off the showroom floor.
Mechanical & Performance
Under the hood sits Nissan's legendary 3.5L V6 (VQ35DE) engine, a powerplant world-renowned for its snappy throttle response, bulletproof reliability, and iconic metallic exhaust note.
Drivetrain Layout: Built on Nissan's celebrated FM (Front Midship) platform, the engine is pushed far back behind the front axle line. This clever engineering achievement delivers a near-perfect front-to-rear weight distribution, sending power exclusively to the rear wheels (RWD).
Suspension & Handling: Power meets the pavement through an advanced, lightweight aluminum independent multi-link suspension at all four corners, offering flat cornering and razor-sharp steering dynamics.
Exterior & Open-Air Styling
Finished in its sleek factory lines, this 350Z Roadster looks as if it has been preserved in a climate-controlled bubble. The power-operated insulated soft top drops seamlessly at the touch of a button, instantly transforming this sharp coupe into the ultimate weekend cruiser.
It rides on its gorgeous factory 18-inch 5-spoke aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in a performance-staggered tire setup (wider in the rear) to anchor the car's aggressive stance.
The dual-exit exhaust with polished chrome tips hints at the sports car pedigree waiting under your right foot.
Interior & Comfort
Inside, the driver-centric cabin looks and smells remarkably fresh, completely validating the low 17k mileage figure. Structurally bolstered sport bucket seats hold you firmly in place, while a three-gauge center binnacle pays direct homage to the original 1970 240Z. Because it's a premium drop-top trim, it comes loaded with standard power amenities, crisp climate control, and a premium audio system designed to be heard even with the top down and the highway rushing past.
