I bought this new in 1971. I thought it was January or February when I took title of it. But maybe not. Any info?

thanks

According to zhome.com your car would be a 1971 240Z. It should have the C-pillar vents.

Note:4 Most 1972 Model Year 240-Z's built between 09/71 and 01/72 did not receive the Auto Seat Belt Retractors, Seat Belt Warning Buzzer & Seat Belt Warning Light, indeed many did not even have the "pockets" in the floorboards necessary to mount the Auto Seat Belt Retractors. This was an MVSS requirement for cars built on or after 01/72. In order to install the seat sensor, for the required Seat Belt Warning Buzzer, Nissan had to redesign the seat cushion. The newer seat cushions were supported by spring steel rather than the previous full foam rubber block supported by straps. Most seat belt warning buzzers were disconnected by the car's owner within days of purchase.
Note:5 Most 1972 Model Year 240-Z built before 12/71 had the rear window defroster lines running from the top of the rear window to the bottom of the rear window (ie. Vertical). Most 1972 Model Year 240-Z's built after 01/72 had the rear window defroster lines running from one side of the rear window to the other side(ie. Horizontal).

It's probably a early 71.

Most probably February 1971.  According to ZHome.com HLS30-22441 is a February car and so is HLS30-23242.
