halz Posted June 15, 2004 Share #1 Posted June 15, 2004 Does anyone have a 240z with the original luggage straps still fitted? I'm interested in finding out the correct colour the straps should be before I replace mine. My current straps are silver-grey so I'm guessing the original colour is either that, black or tan (my car has a tan interior with black carpets).Or maybe someone has a '73 brochure which shows the luggage compartment in sufficient detail..?thanks.

Bambikiller240 Posted June 15, 2004 Share #2 Posted June 15, 2004 My 240Z luggage straps were black. (currently light black from sun fade).Back in the day when I bought my first Z (a 73) the straps were a nice fairly dark black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblake01 Posted June 15, 2004 Share #7 Posted June 15, 2004 All three of the Z's I have owned had black luggage straps. 70 Red/Black int., 72 Red/Tan int., 78 Blue/Black int. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fun_in_my_z Posted June 15, 2004 Share #8 Posted June 15, 2004 Where is a good place to find these straps? I know VB probably sells them but was hoping for someplace a lil cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdbrandy Posted June 15, 2004 Share #9 Posted June 15, 2004 Later ones must be color matched. My '78 280Z has a brown interior, and brown straps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBay is your best bet as Mark says, but you'll find that the sets that are in good condition are not cheap. Snipers abound!I have heard of people just re-dying their old ones if everything else is in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZwolleY Posted June 15, 2004 Share #12 Posted June 15, 2004 Polish the buckles and dye the straps. I dyed mine with black shoe dye and they came out pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
