i can't remember where its from.. im pretty sure it was germany...

this is a brand new and stock photo

edit: just to make sure you know what im talking about...
there was never a targa top 240sx in the us/canada/japan

(that i know of)

*Grant* · 04-20-2002, 04:24 AM

mrmephistopheles told me that all the 240sx convertibles began life as coupes. Nissan had another company in the US make them into convertibles. I lot of reinforcing is needed (IIRC). I dont think there is a convertible S13 in japan.

the car in that pic somehow looks used. seems like the other models/cars in the showroom are newer. I could be wrong

matic 240sx · 04-20-2002, 04:28 AM

I agree it does look used but i am just going by what i read on the website..  i wish i still had it...

*Grant* · 04-20-2002, 04:35 AM

yea, thats an 89-90 S13 and also if you look in the background there is a modern pathfinder and a frontier pickup. looks nice. but more like a convertible with a rollbar

They have convertable s13's in Japan.  They're pretty rare though.  IIRC they were automatic Q's.

man, put a silvia front clip on, with 180sx tail lights, and that car is what I would want! =)

There were some Silvia convertibles in Japan, but it looks like the US is the big winner in this trend (so say the Aussies - look near the bottom):

Why are you guys talking bout converts. thats a targa top style.......I was thinking of doing that on my hatch. They have kits that you can do all you have to do is make sure you get a good cut, welding, and seals. I agree that would be one sweet ride w/ a silvia front end, kouki lights, and a hippo sleek d-style kit........my fantasy ride.
