Hi All, new member here.

Well don't know how to resize but did put pictures in gallery waiting approval.

I tried to resize using ms paint but it just crops the picture down instead of resizing the image. I don't have any other type of photo editing software. Looks like a trip to BestBuy is in order.

If you are using Windows XP, You can also get a Image Resizer Tool from Microsoft at : http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx about 2/3 of the way down the page. It allows you to rersize mutiple images all at once.

You can also use MS Paint "Stretch / Skew" function to resize the complete image.

Okay, okay! I'm:stupid:. I got '74 260Z' stuck in my head when I read the first post and reacted to that. But in the picture it's obviously a 280.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you all. As you guys have already discussed, it is indeed a 280, FI and all. Thanks for the suggestions on the photo posting, will definitely come in handy.

Bravo- Yeah gotta love bronze!! I have never been too big on brown cars, especially sportscars, but this color is absolutely Beautiful. As far as mods go, I'm not real sure. We won't be moving into a house until fall/winter this year so I won't be doing anything in the near future anyways. The car is real clean. The interior is even nicer than the body. Very well maintained, everything works, including radio and power antenna, heat and A/C. The upholstery is perfect, but I believe is aftermarket. My 260 had vinyl seats and I'm not sure if any other option was available in 75. This one has a velour type cloth on the seats and the door panels. Looks nice though. I have 14" wheels with bias-ply tires on right now I MAY put some radials on there but not sure if there will be any sacrifice to ride quality with them.

So I guess I'm torn. Part of me wants to put in an aftermarket stereo with more than one speaker and maybe some performance mods to the engine. but like I said it is all really nice now so probably not. The biggest thing that I would want to change is the bumpers, but it's kinda hard to justify screwing with a clean original car.

Hey Robb, welcome to the group and again, nice car! About your seats, I think those could be original. I pulled a set from a 75 280Z a few years back and they had a velour type material on them. Not to say yours weren't "recovered" but originally I think the 280Z was a little more plush. Some of the other members here will have a definite answer about that.

Enjoy your car!

Both my 280Z's (77 & 78) had vinyl.

My 78 also has the original vinyl.

I'll get some pics posted up soon of the interior and let the experts see and decide.

After we get settled in the new house next week, I'll scan a factory sales brochure that lists the standard and optional equipment and attach it here.

Here's a picture of Bill Ramsey's 72 which has the 75 280Z seats. It used to be my car. You can clearly see the velour material in the picture. Those seats were original to that 280Z. Not arguing with anyone, just making it clear that apparently there was some differences in 280Z seats.

Chris that interior pic is very similar to mine. I'll get some pics posted on Monday.
