Gotcha... I know there was a charcoal 90 for sale on here don't know if it still is or not. Good luck with your search!

I MIGHT be selling mine. 1990 black on black, I think it has 38k miles . I never have time to drive it. all I do is work. and have a business opportunity maybe coming up this weekend. Like some have said keep an eye in the for sale section. I hate to sell it but we'll see...

Carlisle to TN? Not that bad a ride.

I may also be selling my 1990 Z. Same reason as Corbusa-no time. No passenger side airbag-but that never bothered me and members on the forum don’t seem to be concerned about this issue. Anyway, my Z is polo green with saddle interior, 16,000 miles. New injectors, serviced at a reputable shop and otherwise original and mint. Good luck with your search and let me know if you have any interest. I am in NJ.

Thanks for the heads up. The passenger side airbag requirement definitely limits my options. The Black/Black 90 and Polo/Saddle 90 are colors I'm interested in. Need to think a little bit more about the airbag, but I might decide to get a Z without it. In that case I will reach out. Thanks again!

If you are carrying a passenger, I doubt you’ll be driving at Mach 1 and recklessly! Passenger airbag shouldn’t determine your final choice.

Driving carefully doesn't really matter if someone else hit you.

A bag sure helps...………………. if it pops.


30 year old tech has proven faulty in many other areas.


Racing helmets for all!

I hit a guardrail going about 45 mph in my 91. No airbag deployment. Seat belt saved me. My opinion is that the first gen airbag would have done more bad than good if it did deploy. Certainly fewer Zs made with the pass. airbag so that is also a factor in your search

I'm with you on this one. My wife complained that the 91 didn't have a passenger airbag, and I told her that's what a seatbelt is for. Then I had to explain how first gen airbags were designed with the background that many people still weren't wearing seatbelts (even though they were mandatory), and deployed with way more force than modern airbags, which could be deadly to people to close to it. She didn't realize there was any difference.
