I was thinking the same thing, but the glass isn't broken. Maybe they shot it and THEN put the windows down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pillar emblems on this car are clearly series 1 but the hatch is series 2 (no vents at all). By the VIN this car is 24 cars newer than mine. My hatch has the vents and this car doesn't so I got one of the last hatches with vents (supports the comment someone made about "these cars leak enough that it shouldn't affect the ability of the flow through ventilation to still work"). This car has the hood on the map light and so does my car. These are just minor things showing Datsun transitioning series 2 parts into the production line.

I believe the Seller said that the hatch had the vents, but he welded them shut. In Picture #109/157 on BAT - you can see the screws in the map light are not OEM like the ones at the bottom on the radio face plate. The map light was most likely replaced at some point in its life. I think that 3100 cars and two months before introduction of the Series II is too early to start transitioning any of the newer parts. The highest VIN we have found for a Series I was HLS30 20533 - it was a very original car with A/T. Had the non-hooded map light and rear deck vents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did go back and read through the comments and found the reference to the welded up hatch vents. On my own map light hood... I cannot be positive that the original owner might have had the map light replaced sometime in the 19 years he had the car before I bought it from him back in 1990.

CW240Z72 Posted January 6, 2022 Share #1247 Posted January 6, 2022 4 hours left on this one. I am amazed at the positive response this one is getting with the sketchy front clip spliced in that's been done. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-datsun-240z-206/ I followed the silver RNM '71 that finished up early this week on BaT. Was quite entertaining reading the comments and retaliations from the seller! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I predict another RNM. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
