This is one of just seven factory-supported Z32 race cars constructed by Clayton Cunningham Racing for IMSA GTO competition. It features carbon fiber bodywork wrapped around a chromoly tubular spaceframe and has the original red, white, and blue livery it raced with. It sits on 18-inch centerlock wheels with Goodyear Eagle slicks measuring 25.5×12 inches at the front and 28.5×14.5 inches at the rear.

The listing reveals that the car, chassis 004, secured its first victory at the 1990 Del Mar 1 Hour. The following year, Steven Millen finished second in the Sebring 12 Hours. Throughout 1991, the car secured a host of race victories, including at the Miami 1 Hour, Mosport 300 km, New Orleans 1 Hour, Portland 1hr 30 m, and Road America 200 km. It also won the Watkins Glen 500 km.

Powering the car is a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 with carbon fiber intakes, two intercoolers, a dry-sump lubrication system, NPTI electronic fuel injection, and an aluminum radiator that’s coupled to a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the rear wheels. The engine is said to have logged four hours of use since being overhauled by a previous owner.
