Nice! My best friend had one brand new back in 1986. The color was called Wine with a gray cloth interior, it had 160hp, and cost $14000, and $16000 with tax. That particular model would’ve stickered close to $16000 with the dash and leather options. I still remember going to pick the colors and options like it was yesterday. He took delivery of it in Oct 1985, and had one of the first 1986 Maximas on the street. Also, 1986 was the first year that the third brake light was mandatory, 1985 models didn’t have one. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Yes, thanks so much for sharing! You're 💯% correct. My '85 Maxima SE has no brake light in the window, so I put a small 3D printed Vader head there in place of it, because, I don't know why.
My friend's mom bought a grey over silver Maxima GL back in 1985. It looked exactly like this one except she had cloth seats and didn't have the digital gauge package. Wonderful riding car. I loved looking out of the moonroof from the back seat and watching the eq lights move back and forth. Everytime I hear the Pointer Sisters I think about riding in this car. She also used to love riding with the windows down and roof open. It certainly shaped my ideal driving experience. Wonderful mid-eighties memories! Thanks for posting.
Very clean Maxima! I was 18 years old when this car was new and the best thing I loved about it was it had the 300ZX engine. When Toyota and Mazda had 4 cylinders, having a V6 sports car engine in a sedan was a big deal in 1986. I've had mine for 4 years and it not as clean, but everything still works. Except the cassette deck ha. Well done!
It was in excellent condition! Thanks for sharing you car, bummer about the cassette deck! Thanks for watching and don’t forget to hit that subscribe button!
I love it! Those seats look SO comfortable! And I love all the buttons and the chrome or aluminum finish around the stereo controls. This car is in amazing shape for its age.
Back to the 80s in Burnsville, MN June 2021? I was at the show and saw the car. We have a 2014 Maxima and it was great to see one of this generation in such great condition.
It was in great condition wasn’t it! Great show over all- can’t wait for this years show. Thanks for sharing, thanks for watching and don’t forget to hit that subscribe button!
@@TwoGuysandaRide I'm a subscriber...also planning to be at the show with my 87 Dodge Dakota in 2022. Say, you wouldn't know a paint and body guy in the Twin Cities or surrounding area that wouldn't mind helping with a repaint for the old Dakota?
Awesome thanks! I’m sure we’ll see you there. Unfortunately I do not have anyone I could recommend for a paint job. Best of luck finding one. Thanks for watching!
This is one of my favorite cars of all time. My aunt had this exact car brand new in 1986, with the digital gauges and leather! It was that same two-tone grey over silver color as well. My brothers and I loved riding in it. Her husband had the sport model with fabric sport seats, a manual transmission, and front and rear spoilers. His was graphite over beige. The design has aged nicely!
Had one of these along time ago here in nz. we got the top spec imports from japan . 4 door pillarless 2 Lt v6 turbo . In either manual or auto. Also 3 way adjustable suspension. Beautiful cars to drive . Haven't seen one on the roads here for a long time
This is wild. My dad had one of these forever and drove it 350k miles. Kids always made fun of it for how old and ugly it was. It was the car I learned how to drive on. When he sold it, he had to practically give it away. I think he got $1k for it. Now people are treating them like classic cars. Amazing how things change
Glad you liked it. I loved these when they were new and love them even more now. Was happy to find one all these years later so we could find out about the new owner and the car's history. Thanks for watching
I had an ‘87 GXE model in blue and my uncle had a ‘87 SE with a small deck lid spoiler. My ‘87 model had those motorized front seatbelts and rear seatbelts are three point shoulder and then later the ‘88 had some sonar suspension. The 3.0L made about 151hp if I recall. The only other car that I liked more was the Toyota Cressida of the same era with a DOHC inline-6.
My wife is a pharmacist & she bought this exact car wen she graduated from pharmacy school as a present to herself! That was 35+ Years ago & she still drives Nissan's-'23 Armada now. Has bought new every 2-3 yrs. Good cars.
Parents had an 86 Maxima when around when I was a kid all the way up to high school. I didn’t appreciate it as much back then since I was young, but man it makes me sad knowing it was donated off to that cash-for-clunkers program back in like 2010 or something. It was a fully functional car with no major damage and og paint still in tact. I think it was just leaking power steering fluid…so sad knowing it was probably sent to the yard to be destroyed. This vid kind of made me sad lol.

Love that boxy look! Those are some the best wheels!
Agreed. I had a friend in the 80s that had this car and I was so envious. Thanks for watching
@@TwoGuysandaRide I have a minty 87 Maxima Wagon and I love it. It gets lots of admiration from you and old! Thanks for your video!

They were pretty hot cars and very sought after back in the day. Thanks for sharing
The nostalgia man.😢
Edit: And it has the sunroof too.
One thing I noticed that doesn't have is the soft/firm suspension switch.
Thanks for watching!
Does anyone no where to find one of these at a junkyard been looking for a few weeks
I’d search Craigslist or Google Maxima Forums to connect with folks who have or know of any for sale.
@@TwoGuysandaRide True. I found mine on Craigslist in North Carolina. Lucked out!
I had a 1886 Nissan Maxima GL. Miss the talking alerts.
“Your door is ajar” “Your keys are in the ignition”….I remember when we thought that was super high tech!
Very good car.
Very cool car too. Thanks for watching
This version didn't hold up too well in a crash from what I recall
I don't think may cars from prior to the early 2000's really did so well in crash test unless it was a Mercedes or Volvo. Thanks for watching
