Chris, excellent clarification. Thank you. So is the question then: When did Nissan switch from the chrome z metal emblem to the white z metal emblem? So my 240Z is from 3/70 and it has the white z, metal emblem. How can Arne's 10/70 have the chrome z, metal emblem?

I respectfully think you're wrong on this Chris. This emblem is appropriate for late 1969 to about January - February 1970.

Just saw this on Ebay. The seller is just up the interstate from me. I've always been interested in the early cars. Hard to tell from the pictures what kind of condition this is in. Anybody have any thoughts?

Did anyone notice that there is a "red dot" 240Z mirror on Ebay? Any guesses on what the final bid will be? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Early-240Z-Rearview-Mirror-1969-1970-RARE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33699QQihZ017QQitemZ270033753434QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Here is an auction for the oval key blanks. So far the price seems reasonable. I've seen them go for much higher. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-240Z-260Z-280Z-Key-Blanks-Genuine-Nissan_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ40016QQihZ017QQitemZ270015104717QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Hi Jim, Great pictures but I couldn't see some of them. Were they posted properly or is it just my computer? I'm glad to see you have the "red dot" mirror too! http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8383&highlight=red+dot+mirror koreavet

Chris, So does 26th & 27th have the "nichs" for the defroster wires? Anyone else? Jim

For those with low VIN's and no defroster glass - Do you have the holes cut out of the plastic roof finisher for the nonexistent defroster wires? Thanks, Jim

I've seen these euro balance tubes before but this one is different. What is the "OXS" mean that's stamped on the side? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-240Z-Euro-Balance-Tube-RARE-Brand-New-NOS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ38634QQihZ017QQitemZ270003255999QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Thanks. Jim

David, You said it man. I really like the WOPS' design of the Webers. The JAPS are only good at copying. Just ask that KRAUT Goertz. Koreavet

My email question to Rick was clear, questioning the status of the purchase of the "Ebay auction for the Datsun 240Z #390, about one month ago". His response was short: " its gone to the great shredder... ". The way I see it, Rick has no motivation to lie. So his response was either an honest error (although my question was clear) or a mean spirited subterfuge. lonetreesteve: Thanks for clearing up the status of #390. For that I feel better.

Just out of curiosity I emailed Rick Bolus at Eurasianperformance on whether or not the winning bidder had followed through with the transaction. He replied back, "It's gone to the great shredder..." What happened?... It's really sad. I guess another one bites the dust.

I think the DMV rejected your proposal not for the combination of the words "JAP JAG", but for the use of the word "JAP". The word "jap" is a racial slur. An analogy would be if you wanted a plate to read, "KRAUT CAR" or "WOPMOBILE" or "NIGGERVAN". Get it?

Enrique: My 1970 has the volume/tone control on the right side like on the Ebay picture. I'm pretty sure that my stock radios for my 1972's and 1973's (cars long gone) had the volume/tone controls on the left side. What I don't understand is that the window for the radio stations is part of the face plate itself. Does this mean that someone took out the window from a later 240Z and put it in a early 240Z face plate? Or was there a period between series I and series II cars that had the old face plate and the new AM/FM radios?
