Tail gate trim panel, which is correct for my 240Z

[kats]

Hi,

I have just one question, I had two early tail gate trim panels(including the one came with my 240Z), and found they are slightly different finishing touch around air vent area.

I am sure my 240Z's panel is the original,came with the car from the factory.

This trim panel has a small black panel with air vent holes attached to the panel body.

I have bought an early trim panel from the U.S. some years ago,this panel does not have a small black panel, just air vent holes are placed on the basement.

Is this non-small black panel one earlier than my 03/70 240Z?

If some one can check this , please let me know.

Kats,

The ones I have from early cars (up to Jan 70 prod at least) are as shown in the first two pictures on the left. Is that the original from your 3/70 car?

The one that I had in my 10/70 car was like the two pictures on the right.

Thank you Mike , Arne

I think I got the answer from both of you, the best combination example owners and I was expected this result.

Yes the two left pictures are the original of my 03/70 240Z.

So, like other parts, the first one is something "not sophisticated" , " cost more" parts.

At least 03/70 cars have early one, I would like to have more reports about this to find out when the border line is ?

Thank you,

kats

Dredging up an old-but-interesting thread.  My June-70 Z has the 2x4 vent hole arrangement.  Never knew about the early 1x3 arrangement until I stumbled on these pictures from Kats.
