This came out of a 1970 240Z parts car. I decided to put it on ebay along with some other stuff.

Was this a factory part or was it offered as an aftermarket item? My impression was it is a factory part as I have seen them on other early model 240Z's.

I believe that is an aftermarket piece as I don't find a part number or illustration for it in my USA/Canada or Japanese parts books. As I do not have the earliest parts books, and I have noticed that part numbers have disappeared through time(in different versions of the books) I am not 100% sure, but I suspect someone with earlier books might well be able to verify.

Hey, I have that on my watchlist. Not because I want one, but because I was curious about it and was thinking of inquiring here about it. Where exactly would it be mounted? Anyone have a pic of one mounted?

I have one on my 70. It goes across the car right behind the seat and goes accross and over the tool compartments. I was told that it was a dealer add-on and very rare.

I don't know how rare, but it is/was an aftermarket part made by Amco. Many dealers installed them prior to original sale to pad the price.

Edit - found this picture in an earlier thread. Magazine ad from the early '70s.

Sorry to come in on this so late. Especially after the correct answer has been noted.

That is an AMCO accessories "Parcel Bar". Here is the magazine ad and installation instructions.
