Nissan’s line of ‘Zed cars’ has become somewhat iconic, with the Datsun-badged classics appreciating faster than they’ll actually go, and the current Zed still round after an almost 9 year lifespan.

As the 370Z Nismo hit Aussie shores, we also discovered another modern Zed which was worth mentioning – the first production 350Z built. And it’s for sale. In Texas.

It’s was built in 2002 and has, in the 15-plus years it’s been around, only travelled 173 miles, or 278 kilometres.

The dealer selling the car, Don Davis Nissan, says it’s been garaged its whole life and has “been very well taken care of.”

It’s not only special because it’s the first and in such good condition. It’s also a top-spec track package-equipped car.

Despite VIN #0001 having barely been driven, it’s said to have a well-documented history, not that there would be a whole lot to document.
