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.

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.

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.
