Those are "round tops," yes?

Thanks.

You are in luck, those are round tops. You appear to have all the pollution control stuff still there, which was often removed when a 73/74 car was upgraded to older round tops. Is there even an air pump, and is it connected? Its belt driven, down low on the passenger side of the engine. Here's a picture of my 73, after being "upgraded" and de-smogged. Pay no attention to how rusty the darn exhaust is...

The Protective Body Side Molding was installed at the Dealerships on most 70-73 240-Z's sold here in the US. It added extra profit to the car for the Dealers - and it actually did a pretty good job of preventing door dings in most cases. It is most likely aluminum with vinyl inserts - and most of them were pop riveted on. Just weld up the holes when you remove them...

FWIW,

They are hubcaps. Not my taste but they're keepers for now.
