I wouldn't think so, wouldn't it be a '79'?

Oops.... Sorry, typo.

Yeah, it looks like it would be a '79, but the title says it's a '78.

Well, in the USA, 1972 is what it would have been titled as. Heck it would have been lucky to reach a dealer by January 72, unless it was a real early 10/71 build date

Wasn't "Uhhh"ing about that, precisely! Just that everyone seems so confused in here about everything!

Oh, well. Let's blame it on Bill. It's his car after all!

The state of Confusion is a place we have all been at some point.

That's why a site like this is so great.

TomoHawk,

Knew it had to be a typo, my comment was just a

"little tongue in cheek".

Really? Very unusual, but not impossible. Back in those days the domestic (USA)auto manufacturers started selling their new model year cars in Oct. Like 72's being available in Oct of 71, and those sold in OCT/NOV/DEC were titled as 1972's by the majority of states. Most all of the Dept of Motor Vehicles of various states carried that idea over to imported cars. There were a very few exceptions and that is why you will very rarely see someone saying they have a 1969 240Z. Nissan released them in the USA as 1970 models, but evidently "some" were erroneously titled as 1969 models when actually purchased in 1969.

My car was built in 11/71 and CA titled it as 72. It may not have arrived until 72.

Allin all it wasn't too confusing back then, but as time has apssed and the manufacturers abandoned the former system and folks like us realize that Nissan had their own agenda in terms of changing features, at different times it gets fairly muddled. That is why HS30-H, 26th-Z, and others have that "Philosophical Build Date" thread going on.

It wouldn't have been Nissan flubbing. They build the cars when they build the cars. It would have been the original DMV & or dealer that caused it to be titled in whatever year it was titled. All in all it doesn't really matter much anyway.
