The 2005 Nissan 350Z represents a key moment in the evolution of Nissan’s modern Z-car lineage. Building on the success of the platform introduced earlier in the decade, the 2005 model year brought meaningful updates that enhanced both performance and overall refinement.

At its core is the revised 3.5-liter VQ35 V6 engine, which produces 300 horsepower, an increase over earlier models. Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, power goes to the rear wheels, maintaining the classic front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout that has defined the Z-car formula for decades. The result is a responsive and engaging driving experience, supported by independent front and rear suspension and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes.

This example is finished in Daytona Blue Pearl Metallic over a Carbon black cloth interior. Exterior highlights include 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, chrome dual exhaust tips, silver-finished door handles, and a chrome honeycomb front grille, while the signature glass hatch design reinforces the 350Z’s distinctive profile. Inside, the cabin remains focused and functional, featuring cloth sport seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a leather shift knob, and the signature three-gauge cluster mounted atop the dashboard. Additional features include air conditioning, an original AM/FM stereo system, and a rear strut tower brace visible beneath the hatch.

As modern performance cars continue to move toward turbocharging and increasing complexity, the 350Z stands out for its simplicity and directness. Low-mileage, manual examples are becoming increasingly scarce, particularly as interest in early 2000s Japanese performance cars continues to grow. Showing approximately 8,880 original miles, accompanied by a clean Carfax, original owner’s manual, and two keys, this well-preserved example stands out among surviving cars, presenting a compelling opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
