10 Nissan 300ZX lots for sale across 10+ Copart locations — model years 1984–1996, odometers often unverified on cars this old. 60% clean title, 40% salvage; Front End and age lead the board (20%). Bids start at $200, and prices ride on body, drivetrain and rarity — a straight twin-turbo Z clears a rusty naturally-aspirated project by a wide margin.
The 300ZX is Nissan's early-'90s flagship sports car, and the Z32 generation (1990–1996) is the one that shows up here — a pop-up-headlight coupe sold as a naturally-aspirated 2+2 or, in its best-known form, a twin-turbo two-seater. Only a stray car or two trades on this platform in a given stretch, far too thin to hold a model price, so read this pool as project and collector stock rather than daily-driver salvage. Value tracks the drivetrain and body more than a median — a straight twin-turbo car with its T-tops intact commands real money, while a rusted naturally-aspirated example is worth its engine and interior. Most stay stateside with enthusiasts and restorers, picked up on a trailer or shipped in-country.
The twin-turbo VG30DETT made close to 300 horsepower new, and it's a genuinely quick engine for its era — but it runs a timing belt, not a chain, and it's an interference design, so a belt that's overdue for replacement risks bending valves and turning a runner into a parts car overnight. Confirm belt history before you trust a "runs and drives" note. The naturally-aspirated VG30DE is the simpler, cheaper-to-own version and a safer bet if you just want the car moving. That's the same V6 family that powered Nissan's contemporary Pickup trucks on some trims. Either way it's a unibody chassis, so a hard front hit that reaches the strut towers or radiator core support is the one to walk from on a car this age, since straightening it rarely pencils out. T-tops are common but the seals dry out and leak with age, so check for water staining in the headliner and carpet — a sign of a slow leak that can also hint at electrical gremlins. When the shell's too far gone, these still work as an engine and drivetrain donor, especially a documented twin-turbo car.
