Finn, the dog likes being in the back of the z.

In the glove box 

Is this the normal method to conceal wires ? 

With a VIN like that, it is probably a 71 model , built in late 70

The build date might mean something.

Where would that be if there is no door plate?

I missed the fact that he was missing the door plate.  My misstake.

There's a list of VIN's out there somewhere.  His slot in the table might tell.

It looks to me from searching vins on this site that H L S 3 0 - 0 8 9 0 6 is a 1971.  Mine being 0987 would also make it a 71.  The fact that the door plate is gone, and the oldest title has it as a 71, makes me believe that the guy I bought it from did something to change the title to 70.  I was pretty happy with the fact that it's a 70.  I know it's still a good deal, but there was a little pride in knowing I had a 70.  Weird how I got there, especially when i knew nothing about Z's until I got this car. I always liked the looks, but never got into them.

 

Is there any benefit to the changing of the year from 71 to 70?  

its a 1970 build.  final 1970 cars were around 18000ish?

According to this https://web.archive.org/web/20131128034951/http://www.editgrid.com/user/mlwilliams/Z_Car_Registry The car was made in 1970, but is a registered 1971.  I found other sources like this that lead me to believe the same thing.  I'm not going to take the time to re-register it as 71

its a 1970 car, just maybe registered in 1971.

 

Its birth was 1970.
