I couldn't see anywhere in the one pic I got if it was Datsun or not. Not from the rear, maybe it would say on the grille somewhere.

Sweet!!! I had a friend whos dad was part owner in a Datsun dealership back then. I had a 1972 (gas guzzling) Chevelle at the time. I so badly wanted a 240 or a 280. They were so cool/modern and so well made compared to the crap coming out of Detroit at the time.

Hope that helps. From what I've been reading it sounds like something I've seen on other car models. Like a GT running around with Cobra bumpers maybe? Given the age of the car, maybe the owner switched some things out due to availability or necessity, and not just to troll us.

280z's have he 5 mph bumpers on them. The bumper rubbers are hard to find. Nissan discontinued them a long time ago. I was looking for some back in 1992 and they were discontinued back then.

Yep, it's a 280Z. Albeit modified. A 240Z has the back up lights integrated into the brake/turn lense. This one has 240Z rear and front bumpers (at least not the 5mph bumpers of 260Z and 280Z). The easiest way to tell a 260Z and later from the front is that the license plate is centered on the 240Z and offset to the starboard on the 260Zs. The 240Zs also had a Datsun badge on the rear deck. I'm not sure if there was one on the 260Zs or 280Zs. All in all a very nice restore. Kudos to the owner.
