White Interior

[Phacade]

Just curious here, as it'll likely be a few years before the wife gives a favorable nod towards me getting a Z again, I know the white interior was something of a rarity; but did it come in the auto only or did it come in the manual 70-78s as well?

...and was it just '70-'78 or was it limited to a specific run of years?

I don't believe it mattered which type of tranny came in the car as far as interior color.

Probably not, but there is one listed on ebay today - 72 Auto Orange - white interior. Nice Car.

Bah. I want a stick. But thanks for the heads up!

It's not worth driving an auto, is it. What a waste of a beautiful car...

My '72 was originally Orange with white interior and 4 spd. Exterior is now maroon.

It was my understanding that the vinyl color or the vinyl name was changed for the 73 from white to "off white". Correct me if I am wrong, because I have never heard it refered to "beige" even though it exists in Carl's list. In my opinion, as a person trained in color nomenclature (gemologist), what I have would be placed in the darker white catagory than the lighter brown.

I used to own a red '77 280z 2+2 with a standard transmission that started its life with gold paint and "off-white" interior.

73 was "off white" which is not even close to white but closer to beige. I saw a color swatch from Nissan and they called it Parchment. Les at Classic Datsun has it in both diamond, seat covers and interior plastic. I have that color in my 73.

My 77 interior looks white. Maybe more of an off white.

I am going white on white for my 72. Interior was originally red. The interior white is a little off-white. The white paint I want to go with is a pearl off-white like is on the 90s Cadillacs - with the 240Z decal down the running boards. I finally found the white window cranks on Ebay not long ago.
