Phacade Posted November 14, 2007 Share #1 Posted November 14, 2007 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?

Go240Zags Posted November 14, 2007 Share #3 Posted November 14, 2007 I don't believe it mattered which type of tranny came in the car as far as interior color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggarrard Posted November 15, 2007 Share #7 Posted November 15, 2007 My '72 was originally Orange with white interior and 4 spd. Exterior is now maroon.Gordon Garrard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzi Lon Posted November 15, 2007 Share #8 Posted November 15, 2007 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.Bonzi Lon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twsutt Posted November 15, 2007 Share #9 Posted November 15, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

dade280 Posted November 15, 2007 Share #11 Posted November 15, 2007 My 77 interior looks white. Maybe more of an off white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtwwalters Posted November 15, 2007 Share #12 Posted November 15, 2007 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.
