I own several.
And several 240Zs.
Also one 280ZX.
14 in all.
A few examples.
A 1970 S30, series 1, VIN HLS30-05957, manufactured 6/70. A guy gave it to me when his wife said the cars or her.
My race car, a 1971 series 2, VIN HLS30-41924 manufactured 8/71. This car has been a race car in the Pacific Northwest since 1979. I bought it for$3,000 in 1989. I raced it so much that the original logbook quickly filled up, and I've got another half full.
The brown Z is a 1972 series 3, VIN HLS30-56539, manufactured 11/71. I bought it for $2,000 in 1992, as a gift for Mrs. Racer 1.0, kept it in the divorce (she refused to pay for it, and it was titled in my name).
I have a 1977 280Z, bright yellow. Don't have the VIN and info handy. It was one of those, "Hey, I've got a Z I'll sell you cheap!". When I saw it I offered to haul it away for free. The guy signed the title over, I loaded it up and stuck it in the back corner of the shop.
Quote: Offered as an option, only on Bright Sunburst Yellow paint code 411 280Z's, the Special Decor Package included rear window shade, racing mirrors and decal package.
The Z with more ZZZap! has commonly become know as The ZZZap-Z. The exact number delivered to Datsun Customers is not known, although it is likely that each Authorized Datsun Dealer in the U.S. received at least one, with volume Dealerships receiving additional units.
It needs all new sheetmetal from the firewall forward, as it was involved in a frontal collision. I have most of what I need, and when I retire later this year it is on my list.
