Are the vertical heating strips (shown in the picture above) on the rear windshield rare?

Can anyone identify this exhaust shown in the picture above? It has 2 glass packs on each pipe.

[DatsunDave09]

Yes, the rear window in the pictures is a rare one. Don't break it and be VERY carefull when removing the crappy tint job.

Can't give you specifics on the exhaust, though it sounds like a set of twice pipes with glass packs. A pretty common aftermarket instal, many years ago.

Wow! That looks like the deal of a century. Nice job !

Solid start on your 70! Those rims should clean up nicely with that color and with a muscle car rake. Any planes or a color change?

[Richard Oben]

That is a great deal on that car. Congrats, Cheers Richard. HLS30 009070

I wouldn't call the rear window rare. Rare is the earliest cars with no defroster lines. The vertical lines were used up until the 1972 model year although my 9/71-built '72 has the vertical lines.

According to Nissan, the first HLS30 fitted with the horizontal wire grid was HLS30-062001. That's quite a way into the '72 model run that is shown as starting with HLS30-46001. I found it difficult to find an excellent condition vertical grid glass, but that had more to do with my location I think and not being able to inspect them in person before buying and having them shipped.

Good luck with it Logan1, looks to be a great project!

You're right. I thought the change was sooner than that. I'm HLS30-47431 which is fairly close to the start of the run.
