Fairlady Z badge colour

[scotta]

When I got my 1973 fairlady z it came with an assortment of badges, none mounted. 

I believe the red fairlady z badge and the two red z pillar badges are originals. 

I have only ever seen the white versions of these, any special significance of the red ones?

No. They originally came with white paint where the red paint is now. Somebody painted them red, that's all.

The only factory 'Red Z' for Japanese market S30-series Z models was on the horn pad of the S20-engined 432 and 432-R models.

Thanks, unfortunately it is not a 432.
