Yep the one your looking for is 1978+ years...I am looking for 75-77 or 69-73 were the 240z I believe and the 1974 was a 260z

Unbelievably there is a 77 30 miles from me sitting in a guys yard and is for sale he says there is minor rust and it starts and goes into gear but hasn't actually been driven in 15 years...I'm really not a body man so i dont know how much rust is to much rust and what is repairable...also not sure on how bad an engine needs to be to not be considered a waste of time...anyone have any pointers what is doable and what is just a waste of time with some or all of these issues? Thanks again
