1970 rear hatch

[mbarjbar]

The hatch on my 1970 #4095, has the two vents under the window but only has a Datsun badge on the lower left edge of the hatch. There is no angled Datsun or 240Z badges on the right side. What have I got here???

Hi Mike:

I don't understand your question. You just told us what you have - "a 70 hatch with a Datsun badge on the lower left of the hatch."

To be "stock" it should have the Datsun badge and the 240-Z script on the lower right of the hatch.

FWIW,

It sounds like someone has moved the badges. It should have the vents (it does) and it should have the Datsun and the 240z on the lower right corner (it doesn't). As far as I know, there was never a badge placed in the lower left corner. Mine had the holes welded over at some point. You might be able to see where the original holes for the badges from the inside if the interior panel hasn't been installed yet. Good luck.

Here's a photo in case you need one for reference.

Someone must have removed the badges for the lower right side. The 'DATSUN' badge on the lower left is block letters about 1" tall. I need to take the inside trim off and see what's up. BTW, for some reason, I cannot see thumbnail picture attachments. Use to, but not any more.

Block letters about 1" tall? Sounds like a 510 badge rather than a 240Z badge which has more of a handwriting/script type look. Does it have a slight slant to the right?

No slant, straight up, one-piece badge. Weird. I will be going back to the original badging.
