Posted March 22, 200816 yr comment_241474 Sinds Z's and the parts of it are very rare here in the Netherlands. I was suprised to see a beautiful al original just 20.000 miles black Z just 6 miles from my home! Guess it's a fan. Wanted to shear the pictures here with you guys. I'm going to look soon just if he has a window for my Z. He is asking 10.000 USD for it. It's a '72 model. What do you guys think let me know...

March 22, 200816 yr comment_241487 Bart, it's always nice to have another Z owner nearby. You never know when you might need a hand with something; having someone with knowledge nearby is a wonderful thing.Besides, the owner might have a few lines for parts that you don't know about.

March 22, 200816 yr comment_241495 Love the color! Were these cars ever made in Black? Sure looks nice in the photo's.Price seems great too, I'd go for it.No. Black didn't appear on the S30 until the 1978 Black Pear Edition.Disclaimer: My statement is true in the U.S. I've not heard anything of other markets getting black S30s from the factory.

March 22, 200816 yr comment_241502 So does he want $10,000 US, or $15,000 Euros? Big difference. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/27469-beautiful-z-found-near-by-my-home/#findComment-241502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 23, 200816 yr comment_241525 Cool car, interesting seeing the black on one of these cars. I wonder why black was never offered as an option until 1978?

I wonder why black was never offered as an option until 1978?I agree, why did it take so long? 911s, jags and corvettes of the day were all offered in black, why not the 240Z?

March 23, 200816 yr comment_241528 The original paints were acrylic enamels with no hardener. It took a few years until they started putting clear coats on that black was durable enough. Remember these were not expensively made cars.

March 23, 200816 yr comment_241547 No - no black 240-Z's. The Black 280Z produced for the 78 Model Year here in the US was really a limited edition - "test market" - to see if a black Z would sell. It did and the following year the 280ZX was introduced with Black as a standard color.The original paints were amino-alkyd enamel... for 69/70 the acrylic (Acryl) enamels were used only on the Silver Metallic 69/70.FWIW,Carl B.
