Just og to www.zhome.com and scroll down and it has information on the 1978 black pearl edition 280z.

Here is a really nice example that did not sell on ebay.

How can i find out if my car is one? it came in black, and it HAD the same stripes, untill they where taken off.....

I am not sure, but yours is most likely a black pearl then. Post some pictures. I am sure someone could tell you how to distinguish if it was a black pearl. Check the paint code plate. That will tell you since the black pearl was the first to be black. If you have the black paint code on that plate, chances are that it is a black pearl. I hope that is helpful. Maybe someone with some more knowledge could speak on this topic.

Take care,
