Saw this beauty at Easter Service Yesterday. 280Z?
 
I'm new to the Z scene as of buying my 370 in December so I can't easily say what model/gen they are like I can for Mustangs :(

For any mods reading this, if it is in the wrong place, please move it. If there is no place for it, please delete it. Just thought others would enjoy her beauty.

I can't even imagine the trouble I would get into if I had a turbo Z.

Beautiful car but if it's parked there then post this in the crappy parking thread.

Lol, fortunately no. This was actually a shot I took of it slowly rolling away after it had just backed out of its spot, and I was walking past it. Glad the shot was came out clear considering we were both moving. Lumia 950 XL ftw I guess... and it doesn't get many wins, lol.

When he started that thing up everyone turned to see what it was.

It looks like at 1974 260z or a 240z. Hard to say, I can't read the fender emblem. If the fender emblem says Datsun, it is a 240z. If it says 260z then there you have it is a 1974. It could also be a hybrid car with 240z bumpers.

It looks more like the 240 to me. A good friend of mine has one with that same paint job that he is restoring slowly and painfully! I can't wait till he is done, maybe I'll post a pic.

240z for sure.

kenchan 03-28-2016 11:32 AM

1974 260z's looked just like the 240z. The 1974 1/2 260z looked like the 1975 280z. How do I know? My first Z was a 1974 1/2 260z.

280z/300zx 03-28-2016 02:31 PM

Looks more like a 280z with 240z bumper conversion to me. Evidence #1 is the tail lights. Evidence #2 is the front side fender light marker. Then again could be some version of a 260z that had a bumper conversion as well. Those are definitely 240z bumpers but the body indicates it's a 260z 1/2 or 280z. This coming from a 280z owner and someone who has owned different gen Z's for over 17 years.

When it comes to the S30 body style you can make a 280z look like a 240 or a 240 look like a 280. The 260z was basically a combo of both depending on it if was an early or late 1974. All parts are pretty much interchangeable to one degree or another.

Given the attention the model seems to be getting, I went back to the original and zoomed in best I could, it looks to read as a 280. I'll post another pic here shortly.
