That's what I wanted to know. Thanks. Yes, it has the tag on the radiator support. So in keeping with the restoration, that's what it'll be painted. I'd better get the AC working too!

I bought a 77 280Z for the purpose of restoring. I didn't know much about them prior to owning one except that I've always liked them, and now with no kids around, time for me to have a project car! So my question is, I looked at the color code tag in the engine compartment. Says it's black pearl. However, what I've read says that color didn't come out till 78. The date of manufacture tag on my car says 2/77. I'd like to restore it to it's original color if that's truly it. Otherwise, I might just do something else. Thanks for any info.

I get noticed constantly here in the Medford OR area. And my 280Z looks like crap! I bought it a couple of months ago. Barely running. Primer spots all over old paint. Interior gutted. But I'm starting to restore it. I got it running great! So now I drive it regularly. Thumbs up, waves, people checking it out in the parking lots. Wait till I drop a paint job on it! I love owning/driving a Z!
