Question regarding Lime Green 240z #112

[oskidunker1]

I hardly ever see any that color for sale even though alot of people feel that was the most striking color. Were less originally sold or do you think people have changed the color. What would be a good way to search for one. I understand there may be a way to search all the cities of Craigs list at one time.

I had one in the 70's and loved that color.Now all I see are white.

Hello,

If you go to http://www.zhome.com/ and scroll down to http://zhome.com/History/colors.html.

You will see that 112 color was only available in 1972 or 1973. If you're looking around then I would search those years. Good luck with your search.

That is my favorite color for these cars (though it is not the color of mine). Never understood why they call it "lime".

[zhead240]

in bright sunlite it looks yellow

under fluorescent lite ( or shade ) it looks green.

also known as chartreuse

my favorite too.

[surfer.tech]

yup. under flourescent lights its green. I love mine as well.

My z is originally in that colour.. now its repainted. New color aint bad but its not that cool

[ajmcforester]

Was a lot of them repainted a different color. you bet. If someone told me 1/2 the cars were a different color it would not surprise me. Part of this was the demand on these cars, new owner didn't really get a chance to pick a color. They did the color in batches Carl can predict the color the car was by its vin number, so you got the that was out at that date you purchased it. The other thing is unless someone took care of the paint it has needed a repaint, with no color marking people tend to paint in their favorite colors. The one thing that is suprising is how many people use factory colors when changing the color.

They call it Lime because most people can't spell chartreuseROFL

Best color on a Z IMO

[SportBikeMike]

Mine was originally 112 yellow. A previous owner painted it grey.....I had a hard time deciding on painting it back to 112 or 905 red. Finally decided on 905 red.

It appears the same thing happened to the Sunburst yellow (411) Zaap Z cars. From everything i have read Datsun/Nissan made the same amount of Zaap Zs as Black Pearl (638)cars but i see tons more Black Pearls than Zaaps I would imagine the Yellow (411) like the Chartreuse 112 was a Love It or Hate it color and many were repainted a more widely appealing color ???

Right you are, Bob! You hit the nail right on the head. I was selling for

Bob Sharp back at that time, and people either loved or hated the

color. To the degree that those who hated it, would actually pass

one by and wait for the next truck to come in, for a different "choice"

of color.

BTW the B-210 sedans and hatchbacks also came in a similar color,

and I remember what one of my customers said: "I would NEVER buy

a car in that BILIOUS yellow color!" On the other hand, a member of

ZCCNE, Jeff Mader, took a Best In Show at ZCON10 with his factory-

restored 1972 in #112, so you never know.............

All Z Best,..........................Kathy & Rick
