I believe I have a backup copy from the last time it got messed up. Let me know if you want a copy of it Mike.

Well, according to Carl's website (zhome), the last '72 built was -100155 in 8/72. Series IV cars (1973) start at s/n -120000.

There are a number of cars in the registry with sub-120000 vins listed as '73's.

Actually, the Zhome site shows HLS30-100262 as the last 72 model reported. There may be others that Carl knows of with VINs later than that, but not on the list.

There are three cars listed as 73 models with VINs below 120000 (which is when Nissan says the 1973 model year VIN range began). All are listed as being located in Australia or New Zealand. The HS30 model was sold in those markets, not the HLS30 model. One of the VINs on the list says it is a HS30 and one is a partial VIN number - 11955?. That makes all three of these reported VINs questionable in my opinion.

Also, I'm not sure why you posted a picture of your door tag. I don't think anyone was questioning the accuracy of the VIN/build date you stated. I think Rich1 was just agreeing that Mike W's spreadsheet data was incorrect in his opinion.

Could I get the backup copy for myself? Id like to save it on my own computer.

I just restored the on-line spreadsheet to 8/29/10. This was the first correct version I could find in the history.

If you have made changes recently you might want to make sure they are in there.

You can save a copy for yourself by clicking on File>Export As> (choose your format here. I chose .xls because I have excel installed but you could choose .csv and open it in notepad.)

It looks like the Online Registry of 240Z's (240) has been totally deleted. All the other tabs look OK.

I am kind of confused by the other entries. Mine is a 4/77 car with VIN 384896, yet there is a 3/77 car with VIN 385737 and a 6/77 car with 381610.

It looks like the Online Registry of 240Z's (240) has been totally deleted. All the other tabs look OK.

This sort of thing has happened a number of times over the past few years to the 240Z tab. I hope someone has a back up.

Unfortunately, I think even the back up's are corrupted. It was a good plan, but when people who did not know what they were doing started messing with sorting it, etc. it became a big, inaccurate mess.

Here is the link to an old one I saved in 2009 that has the 240Zs in it.

Is the registry down? I'm getting an error when I try to open it.

I just hit the link Mike posted on 12/15, it worked fine.

The original link works again, but unfortunately someone messed up the data again in the 280 section. The VIN column is shifted.
