Production dates

[Montezuma]

What is the last date of production for a particular year for early Zs. Example: My 73 has a date of 7/73 with a Vin number starting at 170. On the Zhome register my car is the last 73 listed that is stateside. I am also curious about 1978s as well. I looked around for vin number dates of production on the net but could not find anything.

That's odd, my build date on my '73 is 8/73 . I am registered on Zhome aswell. Gary

Hi Montezuma

Humm..... the last 240-Z on the Classic Z Car Register, on the Z Car Home Page is HLS30 168500 with a build date of 07/73. What URL are you looking at?

The highest VIN reported so far in North America is HLS30 172715 with an 08/73 build date. (not on the Classic Z Car Register - but listed on the "Production Changes" page...

What we have found vs whatever the Factory Documents state.

Series I ended production sometime in 01 of 71 (70 and 71 Model Year)

Series II ended production sometime in 10 of 71 (Late Model Year 71)

Series III ended production sometime in 08 of 72 (72 Model Year)

Series IV ended production sometime in 08 of 73 (73 Model Year)

FWIW,
