Description
The 1987 Nissan Pulsar NX was Nissan's first car designed in its San Diego North American design center and they were given full creative license in the design of this car. It is said that if you took all the design elements of the 80's and put them in one car, it is the Pulsar: pop-up headlights, offset wheels, T-tops, funky brake lights, and of course it is the world's first and only production modular car. This car is the initial model year and is the SE trim with a CA16DE twin cam engin...
Our Take:
- First Year Model with Unique Design: The 1987 Nissan Pulsar NX was quite the trailblazer, being Nissan's first vehicle designed in North America's San Diego design studio. Enveloped in 80s nostalgia, it sports distinct features like pop-up headlights and T-tops. You could say it’s like a greatest hits album of 80s car design packed into one vehicle.
- Rare Sportbak and Modular Design: This car is a scarce Sportbak model; only about 2% of Pulsar NXs were made this way. Thanks to its modular design, dealers sometimes swapped these out for the more common notchback, making existing Sportbaks even harder to come by. Imagine finding an old baseball card in pristine condition—it's that kind of rarity.
- Engine and Trim Details: Featuring the CA16DE twin cam engine and a manual transmission, this SE trim offers a driving experience that enthusiasts adore. The combination of the first-year model and these mechanical specs makes it particularly desirable to collectors. Plus, yes, it has AC, making it as cool in the cabin as it is on the curb.
- Erebuni Aero Kit Legacy: The Erebuni aero body kit on this Pulsar NX is famously regarded as the only kit that enhances its appearance. Having the complete set, including the elusive front bumper cover, adds distinctiveness and charm. You might think of it as that flawless suit tailored just for this car—fit and finish.
